osteoporoseOsteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone isn’t able to keep up with the removal of old bone.  Bones then become weak, brittle, and painful — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses like bending over or coughing can cause what is known as a “fragility fracture.”  Our guest is Dr. Keith McCormick. He’s the author of The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis and shares his experience as both a patient who overcame 12 fragility fractures, and an osteoporosis expert who’s developed a nutrition based prevention and treatment program.
