When Lara Pizzorno was diagnosed with osteopenia in her early 40s, she knew this was life or death as countless women in her family tree had their lives cut short by fractures related to weak bones. This book offers recommendations to improve your bone density based on the author's 30 years of bone research. She identifies genetic variations and chronic diseases that could slow progress. Additionally, the co-author, Joe Pizzorno, identifies chemicals, metals, and other culprits that impair the body's natural healing processes, providing practical solutions. The three life-affirming actions - good nutritional support, avoiding toxins, and regular exercise - that promote strong bones also enhance overall wellbeing.
