A Holistic Approach to OSTEOPOROSIS: Dr. Rajsree's Guide to Healthy Bones

Dr. Rajsree Nambudripad, MD is board-certified in Internal Medicine and founder of OC Integrative Medicine in Fullerton, CA.
In this comprehensive video on Osteoporosis, Dr. Rajsree summarizes the latest literature on bone health and provides practical tips on diet, gut healing, supplements and exercises to improve your bone density. Learn how Osteoporosis is a sophisticated metabolic bone disease caused by an imbalance between Osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and Osteoclasts (cells that chew up bone). Learn how factors like your hormones, genetics, inflammation, your gut microbiome, muscle mass, diet, and mechanical stressors can all impact your bones. Learn about the Gut-Bone Axis and why prunes are a promising functional food bone health. What other foods are the best for bone health? Is milk (dairy) good or bad for bones? What are the best supplements to take for healthy Bones? What exercises should you do? Hear an incredible case example of one of Dr. Rajsree's patients who improved her hip bone density by 20% in one year! All this and more in this comprehensive video summarizing Dr. Rajsree's holistic approach to healthy bones!

Hello Dr
Iam from Kochi , Kerala. My husband had undergone 2 ancheoplasties 2007 and 2017 respectively. He used to have pain on chest sometimes on and this can occurs anywhere in his body. Once we press the area gas will get released through mouth and the pain gets subsided . Issued many doctors here but didn't get any explanation. Can you help me with your reply.
Sometimes he happened to have some blood stains on his dhoti which he tells may be due to some scratches as he is on statin. But I took him to a gastroenterology and took blood occult test the result was negative .But for the past 3 years have has almost lost some 10 kgs. Pls give me a reply
.

[@drrajsree]

@@tmvijayalakshmi2896 Good to hear from you in Kerala! Thanks for watching my videos. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's health. It's hard for me to advise from here, but it's possible he could have SIBO. Please watch my video on SIBO, and you can ask his gastroenterologist for a SIBO breath test to diagnose this condition.

1st time here. This video is a keeper. Thank You. I'm 58 and do 100 jumping jacks at least twice a week. I eat a whole food diet now. I'm 4 years off drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. I can whip a jump rope, hopefully I can learn some cool jump rope moves with my feet before I croak. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My goal is 100 loops un interrupted.Right now 75 makes me proud. Cheers to bone health and bone density. 1st time in my life I care about me.

[@drrajsree]

Thanks so much for watching! 😊 Best wishes in your health.

[@gloriablair1978]

Please go out and buy yourself a rebounder. This is way better than doing jumping jacks on a floor or outside which will wear down your joints. I can testify how it really does help and also it helps your whole immune system. Please don't take my word for it look it up. I'am 74 and care.

[@gloriablair1978]

I'm thrilled to find a Dr of natural medicine than all of these other doctors who have no clue about natural solutions. I was told years ago from my wonderful Indian Doctor that I must go all natural, because of terrible side affects from all drugs. He also said that I have arthritis through my lower back and spine and also my chiropractor took a x-ray of my spine and it showed a crooked spine and other problems. What has helped me for many years is doing a light bounce on a rebounder and also on a vibration machine. Many people can't do a lot of exercise but could jump on a rebounder, which is fantastic for the whole immune system. I hope this will help many precious people especially if they have fatty liver issues jumping on a rebounder is fantastic for this health issue besides diet. I don't expect a responce but I can tell you that these things work for your health etc.

Hello Doctor and many thanks for your instructive videos packed with rich information. You explain everything so clearly and go to the root of the problem that is simply amazing. I discovered your website last year and watched many videos with great attention. I take notes for my future reference. Your videos are so rich that I have to pause repeatedly not to miss a point. Well-done and a great thank you.
One question about this subject: Acidic diet is bad for bones, I understood that, but how about Kimchi, Sauerkraut, etc. Are they not acidic? Should one avoid them to help?

[@drrajsree]

Fermented foods are good for the gut microbiome. Although they have an acidic pH because they are made from vegetables they are still alkaline on the body. Just like lemon-water is technically considered alkaline on the body.

I was misdiagnosed with osteopenia 20 years ago after a doctor took dexta of my wrist. I was having generalized pain. Luckily, I had the knowledge to know the doctor was a quack and wanted to get me on those bisphosfate meds so I would develop side effects and get trapped in his practice.
I went to another doctor who did a full body Dexta test on me and it shows no signs of bone disease. He did a DNA test to see if I had RA ( Rheumatoid Arthritis). I didn't have that idea.
My vitamin D3 levels were dangerously low. He started me in vitamin D3 and magnesium. No pain to this day.

I did Prolia for almost three years when my doctor finally discovered the 2000 calcium he told me to take daily. Well when osteoporosis got worse instead of better he ordered xray with bone density. The X-ray showed the calcium went to my main aorta of the heart and caused an aneurysm of 4.5. He was angry I stopped it and couldn’t take foxamax as it killed my stomach. I know take lots of d3, I have white skin and had melanoma so been warned not to go in sun. Seems it’s hard for me to get my D 3 high as it should be. I keep increasing. I take k2/m7, and magnesium. Other vitamins but not calcium.

I take 5,000 vitaman d every day with K2 and my VITAMIN D, 25-HYDROXY lab level was 53 ng/mL (normal range shows 20 to 79 ng/mL). I'm 59 and had a Dexa scan last year given my mother and grandmother had osteoporosis, and it shows I have osteopenia. I'm curious if you would recommend I try to increase my vitamin d levels or if my level of 53 is sufficient.

[@drrajsree]

Yes optimal level is 60-80 ng/mL. So you could increase it slightly. Thanks for watching and best wishes in your health!

Hello Doc. Out of context subject. Does b12 deficiency cause tiredness n dim vision. Also is it better to take an injection of b12 or the supplements. My level is 268 pg/ml. Different labs seem to have different ranges. Appreciate a feedback

[@drrajsree]

B12 can affect nerves so I suppose it's possible but not common. I use blood homocysteine level instead of B12, which is often elevated in people taking supplements. I explain more about B vitamins in this video on MTHFR:

We offer MethylB Complex:

For some, B12 injections are also helpful and we offer them to our patients in our office.

Hi Dr,
In some calcium supplements sold in US, there is strontium in the ingredients. . Some teachers say if we take strontium after 2 years, the bone will be brittle. Is it true? Thank you.

[@drrajsree]

In all my research on osteoporosis, there was not enough data to support promoting Strontium, which is why I didn't include it in the video.

[@ThuLe-eh1xe]

@@drrajsree thank you.

[@kaajallodhari5809]

Hi doc, can you share your e-mail address? I have multiple issues and would like to consult you. I have been to several doctors but haven't got a clear cut answer as to what I suffer from.

[@drrajsree]

I apologize I'm not taking new patients at this time. I hope some of the tips in this video can help you. To search for a functional medicine provider, please go to IFM.org
Best wishes in your health,
