Today, I want to discuss something very important with you that has an impact on everything you do for your bones. It’s about your bone health philosophy.

What is a bone health philosophy? Simply put, it’s the “anchor” that determines the way you wish to reverse osteoporosis and osteopenia. It also means that you understand exactly why you are following or not following the Medical Establishment’s protocol, and being sure of your reasons.

Why Do I Need It?

I am going to be very straightforward here: a bone health philosophy is absolutely crucial to your bone health success. Here’s why:

  • You may have doubts along the way.
  • Your bone scan scores may not improve as fast as you’d like, which could cause you to question your decision about your osteoporosis treatment.
  • Family and friends may criticize you for your decision to view osteoporosis in an alternative light. They may not understand why you don’t consider osteoporosis a disease and criticize you for not following “doctor’s orders.”
  • Alternatively, family and friends with a more natural view may criticize your decision to follow the medical protocol.
  • People may consider you unqualified to make your own health decisions, and sew self-doubt with their criticisms and comments.
  • Others may come to you in admiration, wanting to know your “secret.” What will you tell them?
  • If you’re taking a “try and see” approach to natural or conventional treatment, you might start wondering if it’s really working. Plus you could be under pressure from your doctor to take the osteoporosis drugs.
  • When you hear about new osteoporosis treatments and drugs, you might find yourself thinking that this latest medication could be safer and better.

Your bone health philosophy will give you confidence and purpose. It’s your foundation to steady you and keep you on the path when you encounter scenarios like the ones above.

How Do You Formulate Your Bone Health Philosophy?

Maybe you don’t have a bone health philosophy yet. Or maybe you have a vague idea about your reasons for going the natural route or for taking osteoporosis drugs. Either way, you need to solidify your approach to bone health.

So I’ve put together 7 simple questions to help you know where you stand. Let’s get started!

Question #5: How would I feel if my friends, family, and doctor asked me if I’m taking my prescription drugs?

Conversely, how would I feel if I told them that I’ve chosen to take osteoporosis drugs?

Before you answer, get some facts:

Question #6: Could I explain in a few words why bone density is not as important as bone quality? Would I be able to explain briefly why I believe osteoporosis is not a disease, and that osteopenia is an invented condition?
