Summary
In this episode, I'm setting the record straight by discussing the real amount of calcium you need and where to find it in food. Plus, I'll share alternative strategies for supporting bone health that don't rely on calcium: weight training, vitamin C, and vitamins D and K2. Weight training and high-impact exercises promote new bone formation, while these vitamins stimulate bone-forming cells and enhance mineral binding in bones to prevent calcium loss.
