Increase Bone Density 8% In 1 Year? Or Is DEXA Flawed?

Sandra Iuliano

Have you ever been told you have osteoporosis, and told to just take calcium, and sent on your way with zero other questions asked? Would you like to hear what a bone researcher who specialises in nutrition and exercise has to say about this?

 We cover:

  • Why “I eat tons of dairy and still have osteoporosis” isn’t the gotcha people think it is

  • What your bone density score can’t see, and what matters even more

  • How much of your bone strength is genetic, and how to max out the range you were given

  • How I rebuilt 8% bone density in under a year, and what Sandra says really drove it

  • Calcium, vitamin D, and K2: which forms your body can actually use, and when supplements just become expensive urine 

Dr. Sandra Iuliano is a nutritionist and internationally renowned researcher from the Department of Medicine at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Her research focuses on nutrition and exercise across the lifespan; specifically, to improve musculoskeletal health including studying the effects of exercise and calcium in bone growth in children, vitamin D supplementation to prevent bone loss in adults and food-based approaches to prevent falls, fractures and malnutrition in older adults in aged-care. Former World Age Group Triathlon Champion. Over 50 years of competitive sport participation.
