We have long understood that the causes of osteoporosis are multi-factorial. We utilize the latest research and breakthroughs that recognize that bone health and maintenance is natural and spontaneous for those living a life of healthful balance. This advanced approach views osteoporosis as a “degenerative disease” which is preventable and can be halted once begun rather than an inevitable consequence of menopause.

Possible causes include: hormone imbalance (estrogen vs. progesterone), poor diet (prevents kidneys from absorbing calcium), insufficient weight-bearing exercise (builds bone mass), decreased digestive function (poor absorption of calcium), environmental toxins (leech calcium in order to bind toxins), dysbiosis or antibiotic use (decrease “friendly bacteria”, needed to produce Vitamin K.), some medications (decrease calcium absorption), hyperthyroidism (decreases bone mass my pulling excess minerals out of the bones), decreased body fat (decreases progesterone), cigarette smoking (lowers estrogen levels), nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, excess alcohol, and kidney problems.

Addressing all of these areas, as we do, is extremely helpful in preventing or slowing the progress of osteoporosis. In some cases, bone mass can even be increased.
