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

healthcare team before making medical decisions and changes to your diet and lifestyle. With that

being said, let's get on with the show.

That health really is, it's a lot like just metabolic health in general. It's really foundational

to everything because it's directly related to how well you're breaking down your food, how well

you're eliminating wastes and toxins, how well you're assimilating the good nutrients from your

system. So much of our inflammation and overall problems stem in the gut. That's where they start.

So if we have leaky gut or if we have gut infections or if we have other

inflammation going on in the gut, it's interfering with us being able to properly break down

those foods, properly absorb the nutrients. The bacteria are also really important for

signaling the immune system to fight off pathogens. And if we don't have a proper gut system, that doesn't happen.
