“Bone loss! You can’t be serious?”
That was my reaction when my doctor made the diagnosis of 1% bone loss due to age-related osteoporosis. Although 1% is totally in the normal, acceptable range for a woman my age, yet, considering the amount of repetitive impact exercise I do like running and strength training, I was offended. How could I have any bone loss at all?
What was prescribed? Keep calm, take calcium supplements… and carry on. But, that was too basic for me, because, well, I’m extra. So, here’s the bio-hacks I found to get me from bone health point A to point B more efficiently.
You know that I’m about that pro-aging life. Taking care of myself so that I can actually enjoy getting old, instead of being afraid or denying the inevitable and the natural; but, that takes work.
READ: What’s the best calcium supplement? Johns Hopkins Medicine Weighs In
Oz Garcia, my go-to-guy for pro-aging solutions, is a nutritionist, and the bestselling author of four books, including Redesigning 50: The No-Plastic-Surgery Guide to 21st-Century Age Defiance (HarperCollins); he was my first stop in my quest to maintain bone strength. Garcia’s advice to me was to begin a premium calcium supplement called Osteo-Vi-Min; these are chewable tablets made from a hypoallergenic, vegan formula. Even though I am not vegan, I’ve never been a fan of calcium supplements derived from horse hooves or pig knuckles, which is the base ingredient of a lot of mass-market formulas. However, Johns Hopkins Health says that the “best form of calcium supplement is none” but rather, women over 19 years should get a recommended daily dose of 1000 milligrams of calcium, and for women over 50 years, 1200 milligrams is recommended daily – and this intake should come from a calcium-rich diet. Dude, I don’t know about you, but I cannot guarantee that I can eat that many almonds, dark green leafy veggies or drink enough milk all day, every day. Or can you?
Chewable Osteo-Vi-Min, packed with vitamins C and D3, taken twice a day, is my skeleton’s new best friend.
Performance enhancement and recovery gym, OsteoStrong, is the latest in fitness when it comes to improving bone density. Garcia, who is almost 70 years old, still works full time, running multiple marathons yearly; he swears by this restorative regime for his own bone health. At Garcia’s suggestion, I met with Elaine Gonzales, owner of the Manhattan branch of the national chain, OsteoStrong, to chat about the science behind the technique. Elaine, a mother of 3 boys, all under 10 years, besides being a practicing dentist (her dental practice is housed in the same building), runs the gym with her husband, Vincent. The couple invested in the business to help Elaine improve her postpartum bone strength and reverse the toll that being a working dentist had taken on her posture.
