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. Is to think back the last time you were sick. So you might have

got a viral infection, you might have contracted a cold, you might have had some other sickness.

And think about how you were thinking, think about how you were feeling.

How was your energy level?

Were you excited about the day?

Were you optimistic, interested to call up your friends and have a long conversation?

Were you thinking clearly that you thought, you know, today's a good day to get my taxes ready.

Chances are, unless you're a huge anomaly, you didn't want to do any of those things.

You weren't feeling good at all.

This has been described as sickness behavior.
