When is it too late for bone density improvement? When do you have to resign to the fact you’re just going to maintain - and that’s significant? I have to be honest - I was insulted! I was optimistic and maybe a little self-righteous!  But the truth is… so many things can follow you. For me it may have been late teens early 20s I was very thin. Active, fit, running and lifting too… but extremely thin and not eating well. That’s a key time for bone building: essentially we still have time to “bank” bone until we’re 30. But without consuming enough or absorbing enough nutrients that support bone density, that could have followed me. You and I didn’t test our bones at 30 to know if we even reached an ideal peak. So it will be a mystery to us exactly why we may have osteopenia or osteoporosis in spite of a very healthy lifestyle of truly doing all the things.There are 4 specific types of exercise that actually build bone, and running alone isn't one of them. This is exactly why I'm passionate about our upcoming workshop. I want to save you from learning this the hard way like I did.
