This episode with Kevin Ellis is a favorite of mine, very possibly because Kevin is a favorite of mine. You’ll hear me say that and if you joined us for the What, When & Why to Exercise for Women 40+, or you’ve visited Kevin’s show on Youtube when he’s interviewed me, you understand why.  Kevin is articulate, heart-driven and an all-American values kind of guy who would not strike anyone as a candidate for osteoporosis.  Yet, he was.  It’s an eye-opening episode and he’s got an eye-opening story. If you’ve doubted the value of elimination diets, or you’ve settled and tolerated gut issues for years, (or even just months), it’s potentially time to take this seriously as your bone losses could be accumulating.  During this re-release of this episode with Kevin aka The Bone Coach, it’s national Menopause Awareness Month and bone density is among the topics that matter more during menopause. If you’re fortunate enough to hear it before your menopause or you influence daughters (and sons) my hope is that you’ll be mindful of the opportunities you have now that you won’t later.  Mitigating bone loss is possible. But wouldn’t it be far better to never have lost bone in the first place?  My Guest: Kevin Ellis, better known as Bone Coach™, is a Forbes-featured certified integrative nutrition health coach, podcaster, YouTuber, bone health advocate, and is the founder of BoneCoach.com.    Through a unique 3-step process and a world class coaching program called the Stronger Bones Solution™, he and his team have helped people with osteopenia and osteoporosis in over 1500+ cities around the world get confident in their stronger bones plan.  His mission is to not just help over 1+ million people around the globe build stronger bones… It's to help our children and grandchildren prevent osteoporosis and other diseases in the future so they can lead long, active lives. Questions we answer in this Episode: How did you get started on this journey with helping women with osteopenia and osteoporosis? What is osteopenia and osteoporosis, how common is it, and how do you know if you have it? What causes it? What is the standard treatment protocol for osteoporosis and why is that not enough?  What are the meds prescribed for osteoporosis and what is their effect on bone physiology?

Is there a perfect diet for osteoporosis? Any specific foods that can be a helpful addition to a bone-healthy plan? What role does exercise play in bone health? A woman in 1995 was scared to death if she was diagnosed.It was only going to get worse.
