Do you really have osteoporosis — or have you just been compared to a 30-year-old on a machine designed to sell medication?

In this solo episode, I open up about the real story behind bone scans, how osteoporosis became a billion-dollar industry, and what most doctors don’t explain about the medications they prescribe. From the insurance-fueled rise of the DEXA scan to the flawed use of T-scores and the overprescription of drugs like Fosamax and Reclast, this episode is here to help you question the diagnosis, challenge the standard approach, and step into your power as a strong, informed woman.

If you’ve ever felt confused, scared, or pressured by a bone scan or diagnosis—this is the episode you need to hear.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The shocking backstory behind how osteoporosis diagnoses exploded after 1997
  • Why comparing your bones to a 30-year-old’s is misleading (and unnecessary)
  • How medications like bisphosphonates work—and why they don’t actually build bone
  • What the drug companies don’t mention about long-term use and rebound fractures
  • The role of inflammation and metabolism in true bone loss
  • Why bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) may be safer and more effective than we’ve been led to believe
  • How to naturally support your bones with nutrition, yoga, and stress reduction
  • Why DEXA is just one data point—and not the full picture of your health

Action Steps:

  • Stop thinking your T-score defines your future
  • Ask your doctor about TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) or REMS scans
  • Focus on lifestyle factors that reduce inflammation and promote bone remodeling
  • Join the Stronger Bones Lifestyle community and get the support you deserve
