Manage episode 430504767 series 3339556
Cracking the code to maintaining bone health during and after menopause is no small feat, but it's a journey worth taking. This episode tackles one of the most pressing health issues for women over 40 – bone health.
Dr. John Neustadt, Founder and President of Nutritional Biochemistry, Inc. (NBI), joins us to discuss the complexities of interpreting bone density test results and to introduce a superior method using Ecolite abdominal ultrasound. Discover why bone quality matters more than bone quantity and learn about the risk factors linked to conditions like colitis and celiac disease.
Dr. John also delves into a variety of preventive measures, from medication to supplementation, and the effectiveness of nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and a specific form of vitamin K2 (MK-4). Gain a clear understanding of common osteoporosis medications, their potential side effects, and the legal considerations surrounding their use. Explore the critical intersection of muscle and bone health through conditions like osteosarcopenia and the factors that increase its risk.
Don't miss Dr. John Neustadt's illuminating discussions on the limitations of bone density tests and the importance of early detection, as featured in his book "Fracture-Proof Your Bones." Stay tuned for practical advice to keep your bones strong and healthy.

Memorable Quotes:
"Your patients will tell you what they need, and if you listen well enough, you'll hear them. And then it's your responsibility to go find out if you don't know." – Dr. John Neustadt
"If you're a woman 45 years old or older, your risk for an osteoporosis fracture is equal to your combined risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. And yet there is no big awareness campaign, PR campaign nationally for this. So it's flying under the radar and it's being under-treated and frankly mistreated." – Dr. John Neustadt
