96: Preventative and Restorative Bone Care with Kevin Ellis - How to Support Your Bones at Any Age
Manage episode 361511606 series 3330978
Today on Reset, Renew, Revive, Kevin Ellis shares how you can protect your bones today so you don’t live with Osteoporosis tomorrow. He is known as the Bone Coach. His practice helps thousands of patients rebuild stronger bones with diet, exercise, and a conscious lifestyle. In a disease that usually targets older women, Kevin was an anomaly. He was diagnosed with osteoporosis when he was only thirty years old after Celiac disease ravaged his bone mineral stores. Since then, he has dedicated himself to the education and application of holistic treatments for osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Your bones need more than calcium. There are essential vitamins that your body needs to allocate minerals to their proper place in the body. Kevin breaks down what vitamins are necessary for the optimal absorption of minerals in your bones. Diet and nutrition play a huge part in bone protection, and Kevin outlines his favorite foods for bioavailable calcium and the minerals necessary for good bone quality.
We discuss the flaws in bone density testing, and why you should be aware of osteoporosis medications. Many medications are only meant as temporary relief and can cause bone fractures if used for longer periods of time. No matter what you choose to do for your bones, Kevin details exercises that can support you in all stages of bone health. Join us as we uncover the secret to preventative and restorative bone health.
