Dr. Gundry Reveals The Truth About Osteoporosis / Osteopenia Symptoms

[@calenerichard2355]

As a woman in her mid '80s, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my 60's and was put on Fosamax for 2 years but it wasnt helping to build up my bones and it was irritating my digestive system so I got off of it and thru a blood test I found that I was low in vitamin D3 and other minerals so my doctor put me on a high dosage of D3, ( 6000 mg) plus K 2 which helps the calcium go to the bones, plus magnesium and other minerals. My dexa scan showed that there was a reversal of my osteoporosis. Of course, I follow Dr. Gundrys diet also. Now in my mid '80s I am still active so far no breaks and I do yoga and use weights to keep my muscle mass up. Exercise as walking also is important walking for 30 minutes three times a week. Also I take a gentle yoga class that helps my balance, flexibility, etc. I am thankful I can still enjoy my favorite activities and family. 0:10

Thank you for including the details of all your doing ! I find this very helpful and kind to others ! 😊👏

[@ganymeade5151]

Congratulations. I am also taking D3, K2, and Magnesium along with a Calcium supplement. I have heard that Bone Broth is also helpful to Leaky Gut.

I also take all those vitimuns

Thanks so much to share with us such encouragin infos. I´m 68 and stated las May with Risedronate after my DEXA show -3,2 in spine. But I´m very active , eat super healthy, no smoke or drink. So I intend to stop my medication next May ( one year) .

In older women, osteoporosis is most often caused from a lack of estrogen. Estrogen and all of the sex hormones are intimately involved in both building bone and slowing down bone resorption. Women lose the most bone in the first 7 to 10 years after menopause. There are other causes such as celiac and Crohn’s disease because of being unable to absorb nutrients. Also, many drugs such as PPIs and steroids effect bone density. Nodules on the parathyroid gland can also result in bone loss as the parathyroid is responsible for calcium distribution in the body. Yes, leaky gut could be a factor has one loses the ability to absorb nutrients that the bones need.

[@ganymeade5151]

Right. The cause and the treatment is not always simple. A healthy diet, supplementation, exercise, and fixing Leaking Gut, checking for Thyroid problems help. Long term HRT is not always recommended due to risk of cancers.

[@KayBolling]

I've read if no indications not to ,that HRT continuously especially the patch form makes life so much better

[@viraniramsden4095]

Your combination of scientific research that is cutting edge with the ability to communicate and put together businesses that give the support needed to put it all in action is incredible! Most people are downsizing at your beautiful age, and you keep going and improving everything! What I know is that my body was going downhill, and there is still more work to be done, but I feel like my younger athlete self again while I am still a work in progress. I look forward to bringing this 66 year old body back in line, bones and all.

[@Alien2799]

So what tests should we get to test our bone health? I look forward to hearing back from you.

[@paritroiana1386]

Dexa bone scan to check your bones. 5000 BTU Vit D daily plus Vitamin K2 which helps absorb Vitamin D.

[@amywalz1]

Also regarding bone density The scans can’t tell when there is lead in the bones. Lead replaces calcium and makes the bones brittle. Slow and careful metal detox is another important piece of this puzzle... using excellent nutrition.

[@phylisswright4847]

@@jasontree33 also ladies. There's nothing worse as we age tjan being skinny. You need some meat on your body for cushion in the event you trip or fall. Being skinny and frail is not good. This one size fit all and what you should weigh at a certain height is hogwash. Gravity has brought everything downward. Keep that in mind and know your body. Exercise eat real food and enjoy life. Your bones will never ever be like a 20 year old, again.

[@constancegignoux]

Hello many thx for this video. I also have osteopenia although I go to sport everyday😢 I need to eat more meat...

[@engelneen1686]

Many, many years ago your height was measured once or twice a year by your doctor. Another thing that has changed is that they used to always listen to your heart/lungs.

[@km3470]

They don't do a darn thing,no exam, no blood pressure, NOTHING. Just tests and never follow up!

[@tamiboelter5491]

Well, they used to listen to us....period...Now, if a woman has a complaint. I get an RX for benzo's.

Please talk about leaky gut

[@mpoharper]

My compression fractures were not seen on Dexa but were on my Pet CT for my cancer surveillance. They happened when on Prolia. 2 seemed to be muscle pulls when lifting my vaporizer reservoir. Two I never knew I had. One from a fall. I eat low carbohydrate diet focusing on high quality meats and fats. None of the drugs works the same as the first year you take them. I am now working with a bone health group and they will focus on more natural bone strength approaches. My sister’s knee broke without any impact other than walking.

[@cynthiaromans9557]

Your amazing!!

[@Dorothy-i9d]

Dr Gundry very helpful thanks wow

[@dianemurphy1403]

Dear Dr Gundry , this is a great podcast that brings me hope, thank you! What if a postmenopausal woman who is thyroid-less & on Armour thyroid, "full thyroid replacement" with a suppressed TSH can this be a factor for bone loss? I hope not. This topic of suppressed TSH & bone loss is very controversial Thank you again!

[@louisd95714]

Great video. But doesn't it also make sense to take vitamin D3 supplements to produce calcium, and also take vitamin K2 to place that calcium into the bone? Also, to take magnesium which makes D3 work better, and to also take zinc and copper as co factors?

[@freedom7880]

Yes, you're right. I'd like to know what dosages we should take of each because I refuse to take the toxic medication.

he gets some stuff right but he gets some stuff completely wrong, I used to watch Gundry all the time and learned a lot about plant toxins but never had the solution, better to go watch Dr Anthony Chaffee or Dr Kenberry. They actually give you the solution to your health problems

[@micheleslater741]

Dr. Grundry, I have also been diagonosed with osteopenia. I have eliminated lectins from my diet and working on fruit intact only on the weekends as you have suggested, but still my right hip is causing an in balance, I have difficulty moving that right leg, but after 23 miles of biking or an hour of yoga, don't ask me to stand up. So I assume my muscles are strong. However the excessive pain from my hip prevents me from getting out of bed early like I prefer. I also have a spur on that hip. Can this diet of yours help remove this spur or is that a whole other can of worms?

[@nn-qm6cn]

Just came to say your eyeglass game is strong Dr. Gundry! 💪🏼👓✨

[@iza-q7z]

Dr. Gundry, you are indeed the number one doctor in the world who puts so much knowledge, effort, and energy into convincing people to pursue the right and healthy eating regimens. I am just wondering how come such a wonderful doctor has fewer than a million subscribers; in fact, they should have at least ten million subscribers. I was suffering from obesity, high cholesterol, insomnia, inflammation, and so much pain, plus taking four different medications to treat my illnesses. However, ever since I started watching Dr. Gundry's broadcasts and concurrently practicing healthy eating based on Dr. Gundry's healthy eating habits, I have honestly overcome my health issues and am now in good shape without taking any medication. Thank you so much my distinguish Dr. Steven Gundry. 👏🏼🙏🏼💙💐

[@cathycharron-folsom4504]

Using supplement hormones increases risk for cancer significantly. I was told in 1960s never to use them as my mother got cancer from hormones in menopause. There are studies also stating this.

[@joshuamitchell5481]

Wish I could afford to come see you. I take many of your supplements

[@btoss1]

Can you name the bone building drugs please?

[@esperanzacollado-v2n]

One of those drugs is called Prolia. My mom had exactly this issue and when she stopped taking that drug before a dental surgery, her bones revealed too fragile and broke. I wish she would change her diet, but she rarely eats anything green. Thank you, Dr Gundry for the good advise.

[@btoss1]

@@esperanzacollado-v2n My mother is on Prolia also. I want to take her off it but I was reading that it's almost impossible to stop taking it because things will get worse. I'm so upset her doctor recommended it.

[@journeylvr]

Try Google

[@diananighswonger441]

for fyi your not supposed to be stopping Prolia because it causes bones to be brittle. you need to be on another bone drug such as bisphonate or another one.

[@janiceg7661]

Just this week got the results of my 2nd dexa bone scan in the last 4 years, and dx osteopenia again. I take vitamins but I am adding more calcium, boron, and more trace minerals. I need to lift weights too and bought a weighted vest. I read muscle health is important for bone health too. I’m not too worried because I know big pharma now has meds for bone growth like you said so of course we now have better detection scans, and I’m 54 yo so I expect some bone loss. Oh I added bhrt this year too.

I have osteoporosis and artrose because my mother was given a wrong medicine named "DES"-hormoon it is a wrong medicine given from 1947 till 1976 to many women who had a miscarige en were pregnant again. I and also many other women en man can also have no children. So it is not always a way of living. Luckely they could give me new hipes and knies and yesss I am now 74 years old but I always must be carefull I can not take haevy things and broke my arms 3 times and have Titatium in it and altogether 12 srews.

My T score is -4.5 I have been told I have severe osteoporosis and need to take forteo and injection myself for Two years daily can diet reverse my osteoporosis?

[@doejohn8674]

Not a doctor here, so no medical advice, just some ideas to do some research on your own: I would look into taking sufficient vit D, K2, magnesium (e.g. as glycinate), zinc, vitamin C and eat sufficient animal proteins (or if you are vegetarian/vegan, essential aminoacids as a powder alternative) and carefully, under professional help, start resistance training. I would also cleanup my diet (less carbs, more animal protein).

[@SeaStarGazer1111]

My mother was on Forteo injection for years for Osteoporosis and given 50,000 iu of Vit D by prescription. It did NOT reverse her osteoporosis.

[@journeylvr]

I would think the best end result from addressing osteoporosis is to move from Osteoporosis to Osteopenia. A T score of -2.5 is Osteopenia. A T score of -2.6 is Osteoporosis! And it’s not diet alone. You need to exercise/ weight lifting, resistance training.
