Most osteoporosis patients leave their doctor with a prescription and no plan. Here are five things I learned from completing BoneFit specialist training, including why walking alone isn't enough, and what actually builds bone.

Walking is wonderful for heart health, mood, and balance. But for bone density, walking alone is not enough. Here's what the research says and what to add to your routine to actually protect your bones.

Your T-score is one number. But what does it actually tell you about your fracture risk? Here's how DEXA scans work, what your T-score is comparing you to, and why it isn't the whole story.

Small impacts, big results. Jumping and other high-impact exercises generate the mechanical strain bone needs to remodel and grow stronger. Here's what the research shows and how to start safely at any level.

Protein isn't just for muscles. It's a structural building block of bone and an important factor in maintaining bone strength as you age. Here's how much you need each day, the best food sources, and what the research says about protein and bone health.

It sounds like a folk remedy, but the science behind prunes and bone health is more compelling than you'd think. Here's what the studies actually show how many to eat per day and where prunes fit in a bone-protective diet.

The LIFTMOR Trial proved high-intensity strength training can build bone density even in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Here's how mechanical load drives bone remodeling, why light weights aren't enough, and the evidence-based protocol that works.

Vitamin K2 has been gaining attention as a potential bone-protective supplement, but what does the research actually show? Here's what we know about K2's role in calcium absorption, bone density, and whether it's worth adding to your routine.
