Bone loss is considered the “silent thief” of aging. You can’t see it like you can with muscle loss (or grey hairs!). When I talk about bone health in the clinic, I am more interested in your unique fracture profile.

3 Bone Building Strategies
Those with low bone mass may be asking: is walking enough to build bone? Learn about three non-walking strategies imparting more ground reaction force into our bones. When done correctly and consistently, these strategies are less time-consuming and better for remodeling new bones. Build stronger bones without injections or medication!
These are 3 core strategies to build bone strength outside of walking:
- Jogging
- Stairs
- Resistance Training
Birddog for Improved Posture
The Birddog exercise is an amazing way to strengthen your back and core muscles. It’s a low-impact exercise that can be modified for different fitness levels.
In the clinic, I use it with clients that need help finding their glutes, spinal extensors, and scapular stabilizer muscles. It cues them ALL in while challenging rotational demands.
How Much Protein Do I Need If I Have Osteoporosis?
Adequate protein intake is essential for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis. Aim for a protein intake between 1-1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight per day and a well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients for bone health.
Consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare provider to tailor your diet to your needs.
