Have you been told that osteoporosis is just about aging or low calcium?

In this eye-opening conversation, I’m joined by renowned integrative gastroenterologist and author Dr. Partha Nandi to explore the true drivers of bone loss—and why they have more to do with gut health, hormone balance, and chronic inflammation than most people realize.

We dive into the hidden connections between digestive dysfunction, estrogen loss, and systemic inflammation, and how these factors silently break down your bones over time. Dr. Nandi shares a holistic, empowering approach to not just preventing osteoporosis—but transforming your overall health from the inside out.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why inflammation is the real root of most chronic disease, including bone loss
  • The surprising connection between gut health and bone density
  • How estrogen protects your bones (and why its loss accelerates aging)
  • The truth about hormone therapy—and how to explore it safely
  • What your digestive symptoms may be revealing about nutrient absorption
  • Dr. Nandi’s 5 pillars of health and how to use them to strengthen bones naturally
  • Why you are not your diagnosis, and how to reclaim your healing power

Action Steps You Can Take:

  • Identify and eliminate sources of chronic inflammation
  • Support gut health through fiber, whole foods, and probiotic-rich options
  • Consider testing your hormones and exploring bioidentical hormone therapy
  • Move your body daily—with strength, flexibility, and intention
  • Reduce stress to lower cortisol, which damages bones over time
  • Join the Stronger Bones Lifestyle community for expert guidance and support
