A retired physician and osteoporosis educator from Queensland, Australia, Dr. Forfa shares his personal journey, from multiple fractures to a delayed diagnosis, highlighting the need for early screening and awareness.
This episode uncovers misconceptions, risk factors, and treatment options, including an unexpected dietary ally—prunes. Recent research suggests that daily prune consumption may help maintain bone density and support fracture healing, making it a promising nonpharmacologic approach to osteoporosis prevention.
