Why Your Bone Density Score Is Not Protecting You From Fractures

Dr. John Neustadt

Have you ever watched your bone density number go up on a DEXA scan and felt relieved, only to wonder why nobody is talking about whether that number actually means you won’t fracture? Or are you quietly noticing that getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, or just walking feels a little different than it used to?

 

We cover:

  • Why your DEXA scan score tells less than half the story, and what predicts fractures far more accurately

  • The one functional test you can do at home right now that predicts your risk of dying earlier than expected

  • Which common medications are quietly destroying your bones without anyone telling you

  • How ultra processed foods are wrecking your gut and your bones at the same time and is there any room for some at all?

  • The most underrated nutrient for bone health that almost nobody is talking about
