Prolia explained: what to know before you start
|
Reader, Last week, I shared a blog post on bisphosphonates. This week, I want to share with you another post I just published — this one focused on Prolia, the medication I got several requests to go over after the bisphosphonate blog went up. Prolia works differently than bisphosphonates, and one of the most important things to understand before starting it is what happens when you stop. That question often doesn’t get enough attention, which is why I wanted to write this post. Read the blog here → Prolia: Suppressing Bone Resorption If you find it helpful, feel free to save it or share it with a friend. As always, thanks for reading and for being here. And remember — all medications work best when paired with a consistent, well-designed exercise program. I look forward to working out with you! PS — Next up, I’ll be writing about the bone-building medications — Evenity, Forteo, and Tymlos — and how they fit into a long-term bone health plan.

Hi Reader, ✨ This might be the most enjoyable bone-health study I've come across in a long time — and I think you're going to like it too.

Here's the quick science Most of you already know that building and maintaining bone requires key nutrients: • calcium • protein • vitamin K Jarlsberg is a naturally fermented cheese that...
Reader, I’m heading out to get in some mileage on the beach here in South Carolina today as I prepare for the Bataan Memorial Death March in a few weeks. I’m testing what socks, sneakers, shorts, and hats work best in sand and wind — but mostly, I’m just getting my body ready for the distance. No time goals, just steady miles. When I’m out walking or jogging, I often think about the simplest ways to share helpful exercises with you. Yesterday, I kept coming back to upper-body strength. Have...
Reader, Can drinking green tea 🍵really help improve your bone health? I’ll be the first to tell you — I’m a coffee gal, not really much of a tea drinker. But recently, while visiting my son in Boston, I ordered a pot of organic jasmine green tea. It was a freezing-cold afternoon, and tea seemed like the right choice to go with our ramen noodles. It was amazingly good. So good in fact, that my son's girlfriend surprised me with a bag of it to take back to Vermont. At the time, I had no idea I...
