Summary
Were you just told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis?
Here's what your doctor may not have mentioned: they're the same disease, and the drugs commonly prescribed for it can actually make your bones more fragile, not stronger.
In this episode, I break down the real warning signs, expose the suspicious timing between DEXA scan technology and the drug industry that followed it, and share how my own wife reversed her osteoporosis without a single prescription.
