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. You've crossed the line in the sand. You're here, off

screen, you're over here, and the rest of the population is here. But if you consider this to be perfectly

healthy in my right hand, there's a huge spectrum of people who are on the way to developing

celiac. I call them CITs, celiacs in training, no longer counselors, your celiacin training. So

you're on the way to disease. You might never get there, but it can influence your absorption, your nutrient status,

and 40% of the population has one or both of the genes for celiac.

So it's very common to be reactive to gluten without being celiac, because, you know, God willing,

you're never going to get to the end result, which is to develop the autoimmune portion.

So I think it's

important to remember that you don't have to have the problems of it developing long before.
