Course Description: Take Your Health to the Next Level: Protect & Rebuild Your Bones Without Medication

Osteoporosis is more common in the elderly than ever, in part because we're living so much longer. But you can often stop and even partially reverse bone loss with the right foods and supplements. Discover how to strengthen your bones without medication. Find out how bone medications can weaken your bones even as they lead to better DEXA scan numbers! The World Health Organization and the National Osteoporosis Foundation no longer consider the DEXA scan a reliable indicator of bone fracture risk. We'll review the FRAX test, which is now considered the best test for fracture risk.
