Beyond menopause: what you can do for your bones

For me, menopause and beyond represents a chance for us to be “deliberate creators” – that is, it’s an opportunity to design our physical, mental, and nutritional activities with an awareness to be consciously aligned with our priorities for the second half of our lives.

For those of us with strong bones as our health goal, our focus should be to maintain as much of our bone mass and muscle mass as possible. And if we really get into exercise, perhaps we can even build both bone and muscle.

In my video “Tips for Building Bone Health in Menopause,” I ask you to thoughtfully review your Program for building Better Bones and a Better Body as you move forward:

• Are you recognizing and releasing stressful thoughts and situations?

• Are you satisfied with your level of exercise and physical activity?

• Is your acid-alkaline balance in line?

• Do you take a daily high-quality, pharmaceutical grade multivitamin/mineral/omega-3 fat supplement that assures you have all the 20 key nutrients to keep on building bone?

If you see some areas that you think need improvement, remember your power as an infinite choice maker each and every day! Learn more about the natural options available to you to improve bone with the Personal Program for Better Bones.

 

 

We created the Better Bones blog as our forum to express opinions and educate the public about natural means of supporting and improving bone health and overall wellness. As part of this forum, we sometimes discuss medical issues and medications, and their effects on bone health in general. However, we cannot advise readers about specific medical issues in this forum. If you wish to obtain advice from Susan E. Brown, PhD, about your specific bone health and nutritional concerns, please visit our Consultations page. Other specific medical questions should be referred to your healthcare provider.

I had planned to take adantage of the special offer for the alkalizing cookbook and the ph strips.  In the ad it said the shipping was $3.50.  When I went to order, it said the shipping was $11.00.  I think this is very misleading advertising and decided not to order.

Hi June,
Sorry you have this problem--we have been told there was an error in the computer program and the shipping price came out as $11.00 It was a mistake and we are working on correcting it.  When something seems strange with our on-line shop just call our office to see what's up.  Best wishes, Susan Brown

Dr. Brown,

Do you have any information on alcohol intake suppressing osteoblast activity? What is a safe alcohol intake if you have osteoporosis?

Hello,

What type of supplement brands do you recommend? I am completely overwhelmed when trying to find a supplement. I was recommended the brand AlgaeCal. Do you have any thoughts about this? I am only 31 and have not been through menopause, but was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis after frequent use of prednisone. Thanks for your advice.

Hi Cindy,

Dr. Brown passes along the recommendation to check http://scholar.google.com as a way to access academic journals and Pub Med studies on the topic. Thanks!
