"Fracture Proof your Bones" with Dr. John Neustadt

In this video, top Integrative, Naturopathic doctor, Dr. Neustadt explains the changes you can immediately make to prevent fracture. Uncover the simple equation to find out if you're eating adequate protein for your body weight. His focus on the proven science in each of these areas: diet, supplementation, hormones, medications, exercise, sleep, and building community are the subjects he covers on this video. The key to bone health isn't to merely focus on bone density, since a bone density test only predicts 44% of women with osteoporosis who will break a bone and only 21% of men. Increasing bone mineral density just isn’t enough. Improving your knowledge about the state of research on holistic and nutritional approaches to enhance bone health and identifying potential bone destroyers is essential. Listen to this video to begin/improve your journey!
