Learn about the Gut-Bone Axis and why prunes are a promising functional food bone health. What other foods are the best for bone health? Is milk (dairy) good or bad for bones? What are the best supplements to take for healthy Bones? What exercises should you do?

  • @gloriablair1978
    I'm thrilled to find a Dr of natural medicine than all of these other doctors who have no clue about natural solutions. I was told years ago from my wonderful Indian Doctor that I must go all natural, because of terrible side affects from all drugs. He also said that I have arthritis through my lower back and spine and also my chiropractor took a x-ray of my spine and it showed a crooked spine and other problems. What has helped me for many years is doing a light bounce on a rebounder and also on a vibration machine. Many people can't do a lot of exercise but could jump on a rebounder, which is fantastic for the whole immune system. I hope this will help many precious people especially if they have fatty liver issues jumping on a rebounder is fantastic for this health issue besides diet. I don't expect a responce but I can tell you that these things work for your health etc.
  • @patangel1652
    This was the best explanation of osteoporosis I have seen. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis before menopause when I was 48. I am binge watching all your videos.
  • @gm7304
    1st time here. This video is a keeper. Thank You. I'm 58 and do 100 jumping jacks at least twice a week. I eat a whole food diet now. I'm 4 years off drugs and alcohol and cigarettes. I can whip a jump rope, hopefully I can learn some cool jump rope moves with my feet before I croak. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My goal is 100 loops un interrupted.Right now 75 makes me proud. Cheers to bone health and bone density. 1st time in my life I care about me.
