Fighting osteoporosis

Naturally – and winning.

I was diagnosed in 2004. Instead of accepting the standard story, I started documenting everything – What I eat, how I exercise, how much sunlight I get, what I learned about the myths about osteoporosis, and what I discovered builds healthy bones and what doesn’t.

WHY THIS SITE EXISTS

 

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

New Year’s Recognitions for 2008

What are those things you want deep inside yourself? I’ll list […]
