I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for offering them. Here is my experience...A few years ago I was told NOT to take calcium but rather 2000 IU D3 and K2 100mcg. My provider now is a NP (Love that) and he hasn't chgd the recommendation (after blood test).. But Last year I was diagnosed with osteo (age 69). I've continued with D/K but hesitate re calcium. My chiropractor told me she has found whole undissolved calcium tablets in Patient xrays and recommended a particular powder form of calcium. For the last year, I have been doing weight bearing exericses 3x week, that include machine leg lifts (30 lbs)/leg pushing (50 lb) and machine pulling down weight (30 lb) for arms. Also dumbell 10 lb and wall pushups. I'll find out later this month if I now have stability or improvement and hopefully not worsening. I'm looking forward to your next video.
I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me ❤ Calcium tablets are definitely not all created equal and I totally get your hesitation. It is better consumed through food sources if at all possible. It sounds like you are working hard at doing the right things. I hope things will show improvement for you with bone health soon❤
I'm so overwhelmed. I received a dexa; I know my numbers. It's only by researching have I started to learn more about nutrition. Still, it's A LOT. I'm also a newbie when it comes to strength training. What's that? :D I would love to work with a PT who specializes in osteo, but so far no luck in finding that professional. I am going to need to cobble this together sola. :( Good news though, I am learning so much about nutrition: protein, vit k, vit d, calcium, and gut health. I'm aiming daily for consistent macros and moving for my 1200 mg cal daily. :D Soy milk, fortified oj, tofu, almonds, greens. . . it's a process. I only supplement as needed. Food is Queen.
It does feel totally overwhelming for awhile. I am sorry that you are having to work through this. It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job of it though ❤ You are focused on the right things with nutrition and our lifestyle choices have the best long term results on our bone health. The overwhelm will get better and you will get a handle on it all❣
Yes, my doctor had some blood work done and the cause seems to be my parathyroid. I am currently doing a 24-hour urine test so they can see whether I am eliminating my calcium.
@@donnawhittaker5197 It sounds like you have a good doctor who is really checking what is going on. I hope you are able to continue getting good information about your situation ❤️
@@mariezinna8724 I have heard of this one and I think that first a multivitamin it is a good choice. This really comes into the realm of what is ideal and what can be managed well. AlgeaCal falls into the range of what can be managed fairly easily and is pretty good. I think with supplements there is always something we can do to improve them, but is it worth actually doing because it might drive us nuts in the process… AlgeaCal is a good choice for a multivitamin ❤️
@@pedestrianfare8175 I think they are being hyped and they are expensive. Personally, I would prefer to take calcium on its own and would steer clear of algae sources…
@@jcurrie2947 I am so sorry that you were left with so little information and explanation. I think getting an osteoporosis diagnosis is shocking and it takes some time to sort through and then to figure out what to do… I am glad you have found my channel ❤️ I hope the content will be helpful for you

Algae sources are being hyped. Do yo have any thoughts on those?

@@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem Thanks!
My doc had a nurse. All me and tell me to take a prescription. That was all. I was shocked
