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. Two decades of real data, real recovery, and real faith.

WHY THIS SITE EXISTS
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
When I got my diagnosis, there was no one telling me that food could change and renew bone quality. That an alkaline-dominant diet, the right supplements, daily movement, and sunshine could actually improve strength, flexibility, and healing of porous, brittle bones.

A New Mantra…
I have found a new mantra that helps me maintain my resolve to eat only healthful, bone-building foods: “No one puts food in my mouth, but me.” At work when the faculty and staff lay out a covered dish luncheon, complete with fried foods and sugar-laden dishes, I repeat: “No one puts food in my […]
We loved Costa Rica!
We’re back! Let me tell you, visiting Costa Rica was a true adventure! We stayed in Nosara, a town on the Pacific west coast, where there is an “American project” near the beach. The older part of the town is where the “Ticos”, or natives, live. The newer part near Playa Guiones (a great beach!) […]
Adventure!
I can hardly believe it! I’m flying to Costa Rica tomorrow to visit the city of Nosara! Nosara is a surfing hub located on the Pacific Ocean in Central America, and from what I hear, it’s highly Americanized. My husband, who loves to surf, can hardly wait to hit the waves. Meanwhile, I’ll be boogie […]
