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. A 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 episode of the Bone Coach podcast.

Today I'll be interviewing Dr. Sherry, Betts.

She's a doctor of physical therapy and a Pilates instructor with extensive work in the field of geriatric orthopedics, safe yoga, and Pilates-based exercises for people with osteoporosis.

She's served on the foundation for osteoporosis research and education and the National

Osteoporosis Exercise and Rehabilitation Advisory Council.

She's the director of a group of physical therapy clinics called Theraplades that specialize

in geriatric exercise and orthopedic rehabilitation in both Santa Cruz, California and Monroe, Louisiana.

And her focus and passion are in helping people with osteoporosis develop safe and effective

exercise plans using Pilates, yoga, physical therapy, and more.

That's why I'm so excited for you to hear what Sherry has to say and how you can start
