Welcome to the Bone Coach Show dedicated to helping you understand all things related to diet,

lifestyle, bone health, and how you can live and thrive with low bone density and osteoporosis.

I'm your host, Kevin Ellis, certified health coach, health and wellness speaker, and above all else,

your bone coach.

After being diagnosed with osteoporosis in my early 30s, I transform my health

through diet and lifestyle and now help my clients and community members do the same through my online

coaching practice, bonecoach.com. Look, there are no quick and easy cures for low bone density,

but the choices we make every single day can have a powerful impact on our bones, our health, and our

general well-being. I'll share the research, interview the experts, and help you figure out

how to get the conditions right in your body so you can better your bones through diet and

lifestyle. Short disclaimer, I'm not a medical doctor and this show should not be considered

medical advice. Always consult with your

health care team before making medical decisions and changes to your diet and lifestyle. With that being said,

let's get on with the show. People will say things like don't be scared, don't worry. We tell kids,

don't stress out. And the biggest problem in our relationship to fear is that. It's the demonization of it. It's the idea that we should not feel this way. When you get that diagnosis, it's very normal to feel fear. And so the first step I would say for anybody listening to this, and that's really the ethos of fear, Bona, is to stop demonizing the emotions, to recognize that there are no bad emotions, there's no good emotions.

There's just emotions. And it's entirely up to us to decide what we do with them. Some emotions are

more challenging than other emotions, but they're not inherently bad. And one of my many mantras is

fear propels you to prepare. When you engage it, fear propels you to prepare.

If you haven't done so already, especially if you're newly diagnosed with osteopenia or

osteoporosis, or if your most recent bone density scan still showed more bone loss,
