- I recently caught up with Steph Grey to chat about her journey - Steph was first diagnosed T-Scores were in osteoporosis levels (i.e. -2.5 or more in some of her lumbar vertebrae - e.g. L1 was -2.8) and also had marked osteopenia in other areas.
Fast forward to her most recent scan which showed T-Scores at -1.2 in her LX spine so now after a journey she is back to osteopenia levels - it's all going the right direction. - Komedie
Everything Steph said aligns with all the information I've been gathering as part of my journey. It is definitely multi-faceted and can be overwhelming, especially as there is so much negativity. Doctors seems to say: Take meds, make sure you get enough calcium and do some weight bearing exercise without giving specific advice about nutritional requirements (portions, dosage) or explicitly giving info on the type, duration and intensity of "weight bearing exercise". This is entirely the wrong approach. Taking meds might be something that is part of the individual's situation. I would have liked to know more about Steph's experience with them and whether she has now stopped. Osteoporosis is a serious problem and the treatment and management of it deserves more nuanced advice. There are a lot of practitioners of various backgrounds trying to get helpful information out there, so credit to them. I agree with Steph ... patients should do all they can to be informed before either writing it off as not serious or taking medications thinking all will be well. If your doctor is not running full bloods before prescribing medication including Coeliac test, get another doctor because there could be an underlying cause for bone loss apart from menopause. Take charge of your own health and get good advice from qualified people. Reformer pilates run by experienced and qualified people is an excellent way of getting strength/resistance needed to support bone health.
Not easy to find a good doctor who has these qualifications. The quick solution is to prescribe medications that will give you brittle bones that ca easy break and side effects detrimental to your health.
Please show the exercises that will increase the bone density.
I am not wanting to take those meds. Some of them, especially the injectables can cause bone loss in jaw and consequently tooth loss. Also, it can cause the long bone in the thigh to become brittle and break
Thank you very much for this encouraging, uplifting information. 🙏❤️
Great advice, thank you Steph💕
Hi Warriors, I am from Wales, UK. Super positive video. Thanks for sharing. My Great Grandfather was crippled in bed for years with Osteoporosis. Then my Nan ended up crippled with it. I am determined to beat it. All my bones creak. Including my spine, neck, knees and elbows. I've cured my Asthma with organic plants, Asthma and drug free. ☺️ So I am not going to let osteoporosis drag me down. I'm going to beat it. Would love to chat with you both.
By the way, organic brown rice pasta is really nice.
I'm trying to get people to grow their own organic fruit and veg and eat the plants they call weeds. They are full of nutrition. My American friend is a herbalist. ♥️
Did you know pesticides damage the lungs. So I'm sure they damage our bones too.
If we garden organically we get Vitamin D. It's a win, win.
Thank you so very very much for this information, I feel like I have been more informed than my own Dr. it seems all they want to do is put you on pills, they don’t seem to care about the side effects all they want to do is put you on some pills, no other suggestions or how do you feel or anything!!!!!
Wow! That’s news to me too that you can get back into osteopenia territory
What medication did you take? Biophosphonates?
Did Steph take medication also? What were her T scores?
Women who take aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer have an increased risk of osteoporosis, I’ve just been diagnosed with osteopenia
What medication have you used.
What medication did Steph?
I don’t want to take meds
