Understanding Osteoporosis Through Emma's Experience

Osteoporosis can be a complex and challenging condition. That's why I’m eager to share a video from my channel featuring R. Keith McCormick, DC, where we dive into a case study of Emma, focusing on her journey with low TSH, menopause difficulties, and digestive issues. This case study offers valuable insights into the nuances of bone health.

What We Learned from Emma's Story

In our discussion, we cover several key aspects:

• Emma’s Background: We start by introducing Emma’s case, discussing the role of anabolic drugs in improving bone density.
• Understanding Bone Density: Here, we talk about the importance of follow-up treatments after anabolic therapy and delve into the technicalities of measuring bone density, especially in the hip neck.
• Testing and Medication: This part includes a fascinating discussion about a Columbia University Medical Center study on depression, SSRIs, and their impact on bone density. We also explore how blood tests can reveal bone activity and quality, along with the use of bioidentical hormones for osteoporosis.
• Personal Protocol and Gluten Sensitivity: Dr. McCormick shares his personal medication protocol for osteoporosis and discusses gluten sensitivity and testing methods.
• Q&A Session: We conclude with a Q&A session, where we answer various questions from participants, including those about medication use and testing methods.

Key Takeaways

This comprehensive case study with Dr. McCormick sheds light on the complexities of osteoporosis. We discuss how nutrition plays a significant role in bone health and the importance of personalized strategies for managing bone loss.

I love my bones and I love finding new ways to feed my bones.

My bones were jumping for joy having found The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook - Medicine Through Food Guide by Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly.  Inside the book offers a recipe for Bone-Building Calcium-Rich Vinegar.

"Just one tablespoon of Bone-Building Vinegar equals 350-400 mg of calcium (1,000-1,200 recommended for menopausal and post menopausal women)".[1]

Every day I talk to people who are trying to cut back on salt. They want to try to reduce their blood pressure and cut heart disease risk.

Can Pomegranates Hasten Bone Loss?

My Skelly really likes summer fruits like blueberries and watermelon. But come winter there’s a fruit she loves even more. I’m talking about pomegranates. These are one of the oldest known fruits in the world. In ancient Egypt they were buried in the tombs of royalty.

At the end of a long day I am bone tired. But when my head hits the pillow, my Skelly still has lots of work to do. Here’s what I mean…

They are built up by special cells called osteoblasts that work mostly during the daytime. But come nighttime your bones are broken down by other cells called osteoclasts. They clear out old cells and make way for the new osteoblasts that come during the day.

A lot of people are excited about a new “magic pill” for bones. But my Skelly is a little skeptical. I’m talking about strontium.

Most people have never heard of this mineral.   It’s named after Strontian, a village in Scotland where it was discovered in 1790. Today it’s used mostly in industry.
