So glad to see this video! After 10 years of my annual blood work always finding I had high blood calcium level and then shrinking 2 inches in height my doctor ordered a bone density test. At 58 yrs and no other risk factors I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. Further blood testing found I had extremely high parathyroid hormone level (PTH) resulting from a tumor on one of my parathyroid glands. I had a parathyroidectomy in June and my calcium and PTH levels are now normal. I’m working on bone health now. It was my experience that doctors may not understand high blood calcium and PTH levels. Maybe this information will be helpful to others.

Thank you 😊 i really loved hearing my bones wont crumble straight away as thats been my big fear & no-one has taken the time to tell me otherwise 😊 my dr is obviously very keen for me to go onto the injection which I am totally opposed to. Youve made my day thank you 😊

THANKS FOR ADDRESSING OSTEO GETTING WORSE.. I have never drunk alcohol and don't take any meds so good to go. But trying to maintain bone density so this info brings me hope.

My initial reaction upon learning that my osteopenia had regressed to osteoporosis was both anger and depression. Although I am still unsure as to whether I will get back into ice skates, I have rebounded with a steady weight loss to my most healthy level since college and walking at least 6 days a week (10k+). The latest improvement is incorporating some weights and balance routines at home. Like your positive attitude and looking forward to trying some of your recommendations.

Just found your channel. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at 41 after being artificially put in menopause for breast cancer treatment. I've always been rather active (walks with my family, etc), but I've never smoked and don't drink. I'm definitely upping my exercise. I'll keep watching.

Diagnosed with Osteoporosis at 66 in 2021. Everything in my hormones and blood calcium was normal. I however: had very low levels of D and B12. Dr did not mention the relationship of these vitamins and OP. Luckily, I am a nurse and I know what to do right away. Ironically, I educate on this matters, but I failed to apply it to myself. After the initial shock, and refusing the prolia medication, I started my own plan to treat myself. I still consider myself with OP because I still have to do a new test, but overall I fell stronger and my aches and pains, that I attributed to getting old are gone. I was also pre diabetic, that is also resolved. Never have had a fracture, and I intend to continue on my path to stay as healthy as possible as I get older. I have never smoked, and only drink a bit of alcohol in social occasions. Also I have a very bad skin reaction to heavy alcohol consumption. My activity level was very low; my work and family dynamics were also making me sick. I had to relearn to focus on myself first. I wish you all good health. Great educational video!

My daughter is in her to 30's and has osteoporosis. She had a transplant at 10 and the rejection drugs are very hard on the body. However, it's better than the alternative. She is working to have the best life she can. Thank you for all your advice. It is really helping both of us.

[elainewhite]

Great information I’m glad to hear positive information as doctors just want to throw drugs at you Not for me I’ve been excerising daily doing those 4 you showed on your video and also doing weights at home 3 times a week .I’m also eating good nutritional food including soy nuts lots of greens especially kale and bok Choy and always moving.I think if I’m building muscle I also building bones don’t let the doctors stress you out about it this video gives us the tools and ideas to keep strong bones 😊

Thank you you are the first person who is instilling hope in a real functional way. Loved your comment it doesn’t define you because it has after I had a broken shoulder . Underlying it has. I try not to but know it is. I’m going to listen to your videos and continue with exercise supplements and I restarted fosomax which I’d only done for a few months thank you

I eat a very healthy diet, but struggle to eat enough! My appetite and ability
to consume is not good! I only weigh 93 lbs! Recently I broke my knee cap and left wrist! Two years before I broke my right wrist!

I have balance issues and while I haven’t been diagnosed with osteoporosis I’m sure I have it! I don’t want to be tested because if the exposure to radiation and I’m not going to take meds! Sooo it’s up to me to improve the situation naturally! I need to gain weight but….

I am exercising, Qigong, rebounding and walking! I’m trying to implement the exercises you recommend!

Thank you very much for sharing! ❤️🙏

Wow. I was diagnosed with osteopenia 20 some years ago. Diagnosed with osteoporosis 2 years ago but only a year ago my Dr said smoking and drinking contributed to osteoporosis. 50 year smoker and 40 year wine drinker here. Oh my! Got my 5th bout of walking pneumonia a month ago. Still smoking but I can't inhale any more so i just puff and blow it out. Doing my best to quit but it's hard after a lifetime of it. If we only knew then what we know now!

[T.Spencer-ss]

Thank you so much for this very heartening video. I am going to start increasing my protein and doing the excercises as shown. Reading the comments of others below gives me hope :)

[lindageorges]

I’m so glad I found you! I have quite advanced osteoporosis and I’m on Prolia shots. I am going to start following your exercises.

[hollycarlile]

So thankful to have found your site. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Didn't take it seriously until it was too painful in my hip to walk a slight incline. I regularly walk 2 to 3 miles a day. I've taken Armour thyroid 60 mg. a day for 6:33 My Endocrinologist is going to give me injections once every 6mo. to protect my bones. I also began water aerobics and weight training. Im lactose intolerant so starting yogurt and almond milk into my diet. I really found your information helpful and the comments were helpful as well. Thanks
