Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis

Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis by Neustadt, John. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780578356969.

A woman is just as likely to get an osteoporosis fracture as she is to get breast, uterine and ovarian cancer and every 30 seconds someone with osteoporosis breaks a bone. In fact, people spend more time in a hospital because of osteoporosis than for diabetes, heart attacks and breast cancer. But the conventional approach is woefully inadequate. It focuses almost exclusively on improving bone density, even though a bone density test only predicts 44% of women and 21% of men who will break a bone. It doesn’t have to be this way. Fracture-Proof Your Bones contains two decades of Dr. Neustadts research, teaching and clinical experience helping patients naturally grow stronger bones and reduce their fracture risk. This book will teach you: How to FIND AND ELIMINATE hidden dangers that cause osteoporosis and fractures. How to CREATE a holistic plan using diet, lifestyle, exercise, and dietary supplements to protect your bones. How to TALK to your doctor about medications and osteoporosis to make sure you get the best possible care. "This book should be required reading for all medical professionals and patients as a guidebook for dealing with an osteoporosis diagnosis. Dr. Neustadt writes with compassion and clarity in a compelling way that instructs and empowers the reader. The number is growing quickly and the holistic options he delivers are invaluable.” - Penelope Wasserman, Founder of Million Dollar Bones
