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 for this episode of the Bone Coach podcast. In this episode, I'll be interviewing one of the leading functional medicine practitioners in the Midwest.

That's Midwestern U.S. for our international listeners.

If you're not familiar with it, functional medicine focuses on addressing imbalances in the body by identifying the root cause

and treating the person with a whole body systems-based approach.

In functional medicine, hormones, gut health, nutrient deficiencies,

heavy metal toxicity, diet, lifestyle environment, and other factors are all taken into

consideration when developing an approach to improve your health, all while incorporating

modern diagnostic testing.

And the reason I wanted this to be one of the first interviews on the Bone Coach podcast
