Hi Reader,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing blog posts that explain how different osteoporosis medications work. First, I covered bisphosphonates (which work by slowing bone breakdown), and then Prolia (which also slows bone breakdown, but in a different way).

✅ This week, I wrote a post about the bone-building medications — Evenity, Forteo, and Tymlos, the anabolics.

These medications are usually recommended when you have already had an osteoporotic fracture, your fracture risk is very high, or when your T scores show significant bone loss. You go on these to do something quickly to address your bone loss. They work differently from the others and are generally considered more aggressive. They are taken for a limited amount of time and must be followed by another medication to maintain the bone gained.

In this post, I go through:

• How anabolic medications work
• How Evenity differs from Forteo and Tymlos
• How long they are taken
• Why what comes after them matters

✅If you’re considering one of these medications — or simply want to understand your options better — I hope this helps you feel more informed and confident knowing what you are being asked to take.

As always, medications work best when done with a structured, progressive exercise program. I am getting the dates lined up for my Strong Women, Strong Bones Jumpstart in 2026 now, so be sure to subscribe to this newsletter to be the first to know.

Thanks for being here, enjoy the blog, and let me know what else you need information about to stay strong.
