QUESTION:
Are there natural ways to treat osteoporosis and osteopenia?
ANSWER:
Yes. We encourage women to consider a combination approach to treating osteoporosis
and osteopenia. Components of a natural approach include optimal nutrition, regular
exercise, a high-quality multivitamin, stress reduction, and hormonal balance.
Hormonal balance is critical to your bone formation. If you have had a low bone
density reading and received a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia, we suggest
having your hormone levels tested, including thyroid, 4-point cortisol, saliva test
for cortisol, and free and total testosterone.
