Everyday Health Hacker by Dr. Liza Leal

Thanks again for all the wonderful questions, Osteoporosis has been our most listened to playlist and videos on youtube. Today we will discuss what you can do now to prevent osteoporosis and if you are in your 50's and 60's like me, what you can do to gain bone health through supplementation, diet and exercise. It's never too late to make a better change.
As we have been discussing Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis are dangerous. The most serious side effect can be to lose all your teeth from osteonecrosis it can cause the bone to die. Originally bisphosphonates like Boniva, Reclast, Fosamax just to name a few work to keep the "old" bone around. This can have an appearance of more bone on a bone density test, however, it is deceiving. Listen today to learn options to protect your bones and mobility and we will build on Part I, II and III.
