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.

In a time when the watchdogs of the health of our nation’s children decry the obese, junk food junkies that increasingly inhabit our classrooms, today I saw hope for the future. A young lady named Lily, a student in my 3rd period Algebra 1 Honors class, stated in front of her peers yesterday that she […]
Does Osteoporosis Hurt?
The quick answer is “no.” Having low bone density in itself doesn’t hurt at all. However, here’s the catch: If your bones start to fracture because of low bone density or other factors, that can hurt plenty! Compression fractures in the vertebrae can be extremely painful and may even require surgical intervention to find relief. […]
