The Truth About Calcium Supplements: Dr. Jennifer Han’s Real Food Solution for Bone Health EP 166

"Calcium from food is the ideal source." — Dr. Jennifer Han  Learn more about SEEN Nutrition: https://www.seennutrition.com  If you’ve been with me for a while, you know bone health is one of my biggest passions. I’ve worked with the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for over 10 years, and I’m always on the lookout for innovations that can truly make a difference.  That’s why I’m so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Han. She’s a dual residency–trained, board-certified clinical pharmacist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of SEEN Nutrition — the company behind the first calcium chew made entirely from real food.  Dr. Han’s personal story is remarkable. After a rare bone disease fractured her back just two months after giving birth, she set out to completely rethink calcium supplements — and what she’s created could change the way we all think about supporting our bones.  In our conversation, we cover:  Why osteoporosis can affect women at any age — not just later in life  Why most calcium supplements fall short, and what makes food-based calcium different  How small, simple dietary changes (yes, even eating prunes!) can support bone density  The importance of regular DEXA scans for tracking bone health  Why it’s never too late — or too early — to start caring for your bones   Dr. Han’s message is one I want every listener to hear: bone health is a lifelong commitment, and with the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.  Take a listen—and don’t forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode.    If you’re enjoying Age Better, I’d be so grateful if you left a quick review wherever you listen.     And if there’s a topic or question you’d love for me to cover in a future episode, send me a note at [e-mail].
