I'm 75 years young, was diagnosed with osteopenia about 18 years ago. Ever since, I have been building bone via the approach you recommend. Where I had to research and discover all this on my own, it's wonderful to have everything you describe laid out so clearly and concisely in this video. Great job! Thanks for the excellent presentation!
In 2004 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was a healthy 46 year old who ate whole foods, healthy weight, exercised regularly, never smoked and would have a glass a wine on special occasions. My oncologist blamed my diagnosis on bad genes. At that time she had spoken about studies on effects of taking vitamin d and suggested I take at 3000 iu DAILY. So I’ve been on a regime if vitamin D for 20 years. Five years ago I was diagnosed with “severe osteoporosis “ and recommended I go on meds which I did. However after three rounds of this med my body was telling me to hold off as side effects were horrific. I stopped the meds against the advice of the endocrinologist. I amped up my weight bearing exercises and continued to eat greens and whole non processed foods and added K2 to my supplements. Latest bone density took me out of the severe rating and down to moderate.
@@cynthiacools-lartigue5297 do you mind sharing what meds they put you on? My doc suggested a bunch of pills & infusions but I’d rather control it naturally
In Japan, doctors prescribe 45,000 of K2 MK4 for people with osteosporosis. 100 mcg is too little. You need magnesium glycinate, d3, minerals from real salt, and annatto vitamin e to stimulate osteoclasts. No need for calcium supplements; instead, take living real beef bone supplements and bone marrow. Also make you own bone broth and take it everyday. I hope this helps, God bless
I think you mean to stimulate osteoblasts? not osteoclasts? Also, Life Extension Foundation used to make and sell their "mega vitamin k2" with 45000 mcg of K2mk4... which you can also describe as 45 mg... not a big number at all, really.
I am a retired podiatrist diagnosed with osteopenia with 2.1 on arm and hip and .3 lumbar spine. My doctor started me on 5000 units of vit.d. I also put myself on 90mcg of vit k2 - mk7. I eat whole food plant based and eat no ultraprocessed food and very little processed food. My diet is high in potassium. I exercise 2 to 3 hours a day in the gym because of my osteoarthritis. I would like to do more weight training, but I need 2 shoulder replacements. I agree with almost everything you say. I also take 400mg magnesium, but I do that for my heart and blood pressure. Thank you for the video. You are one of the few doctors who makes a lot of sense. People need to listen to you because there is a lot of misinformation out there.
@jka24529 I walk 2 miles on the track, do 30 min of recumbent bike, 30 minutes of NuStep, 20 minutes of arm machine and do 30 to 40 minutes of back exercises from physical therapist as well as Farmers carry of 5 lb weights walking to improve posture. It is a process, but it works. You just have to be committed. I had to work up to this. I didn't start out that way. I have a really good physical therapist, and my doctor is a health nut. He advises me when I am having trouble with an exercise to use the correct form to reduce pain caused by arthritis. Moving is very important. Just keep moving.

Both had improved bone quality with vitamins, exercise and meat, including red meat. One actually only eats meat, usually a steak a day. I’m still trying to find my balance with food and weights. I also have moderate scoliosis. But the chiropractor did get me in good alignment so my back didn’t hurt anymore. He couidnt removed it but my spine was out of alignment. It does help at least for me it did. He used a little tool to make most of the adjustments. Hope and pray you do well!
Great video! Love how you presented everything and recapped in summary at the end. None of the doctors I have seen for my bones have given me this information. I’ve had osteoporosis for 10 years. All they say is get on a drug….no thanks! Thank you so much for the excellent guidance. Really appreciate this❤️🙏
I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and refused to take bisphosphonates. I am now working on building bone through exercise and supplementation. Those medications have terrible outcomes because they do nothing to build bone, they only slow or stop the natural processes that dissolve bone tissue, leaving the body with brittle bones.
Great info!!! RN here and forner marathon runner, barbell class instructor who suffered a hemirrhagic stroke for an unidentified reason. A scan showed osteoporosis in the keft ( paretic) femur. My doc was astounded given my years of lifting and running. I love the modalities Dr. Clayton gives and will implement them. Thank you!!!!
Right! That's because weight lifting (and now OTHER YT doctors - & YT unfluencers - are also recommending walking/hiking with a weighted vest).... These activities do not stimulate bone growth! Weight bearing activity is good for aging because it helps maintain & even form new muscle tissue, as well as strengthening our connective tissue. It's a myth that everyone seems to want to persist in pushing - that lifting weights stimulates bone growth. Look at the 'studies' - that some in this space keep mentioning. No statistical improvement in bone growth with lifting weights, and especially NO moving the needle in the right direction with walking or running around - donning a weighted vest. Not that these weight bearing activit8es aren't good for cardiovascular abd muscle health - but they do not statistically improve bone health for osteopenia/osteoporosis patients. The latest and most promising exercise (plus the dietary factors mentioned here) is jumping to stimulate bone growth. Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD - exercise physiologist @ -Stanford School of Medicine - is mentioning more & more in her YT interviews, that jumping is where it's at, for stimulating bone growth. She is connected to other female scientists studying womens' health & fitness. One of these women scientists is conducting studies in exercise jumping protocols to stimulate bone health- abd the results look very promising. I neglected to capture that scientist's name or their website the couple of times I heard Dr. Sims talk about jumping studies and how promising they are looking for helping to reverse osteoporosis. I've been meaning to hunt down the information for awhile though @ Dr. Sims website - I'm pretty sure she probably references those studies there because she is mentioning jumping exercises and those studies more and more frequently now in her YT talks.
WOW! This was absolutely the BEST explanation of why we lose bone, and how we can build it back. Thank you for putting all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Awesome video, love it! The exercise your wife was doing is the same one my good friend “M“ 67 years old was doing at one of those places. She was under their supervision, pushed too hard, and it went horribly wrong, popping something in her back and has now had major back surgery. She is still recovering months later. It will take years for her to get back to almost normal. Just a cautionary piece of info. 😢
Same thing happened to me at those gyms with those machines that are specifically for osteoporosis and building bone and strength first day my back went out for weeks I never went back
Very helpful! My mom was just diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have been begging her for years to do resistance training to no avail. : ( She is panicking now and starting to add some resistance training to her walking and yoga practices. I think a big part of it is that her generation was encouraged to be thin and not to be concerned with the long-term consequences. Fortunately, that is changing and many women are now more focused on staying out of the nursing home due to a hip fracture, than having thin thighs.
I’m almost 60 with osteoporosis and my daughter 31 yr old and I signed up for a weight training class 2 days a week in our area in Utah County, Utah. Depending upon your mom’s age and your schedule find a weight lifting class and possibly go with her.
Why are calcium crystals accumulating in my knee meniscus (chondrocalcinosis). I had been taking for years calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and more recently (about one year) K2, as well as multivitamin. I'm 72 and walk and hike a lot but still have osteopenia. What can I do? Thanks
@@sunnyla2835some people have good luck with Apple cider vinegar. It seems to dissolve calcium crystal and aids in absorbing calcium to help it properly hi to the right areas. It also helps decrease inflammation in joints connected to the calcium crystals
@@kfetter9046 Dr. Berg here on youtube has videos about magnesium, and d3 +k2(m7) needing each other (like a co-factor?) to work optimally in the body-in synergy or unity. I think he has a download on his website too-it's free.
Thank you for the information! I found out last year I have osteopenia after breaking my elbow and wrist within 2 months of each other. I'm only 52. I've been incorporating the supplements you mentioned but need to work on the strength training. I have been running on and off for 15 years and thought I was protecting my bones. Just shows you can't outrun a bad diet. Hope my next bone density shows improvement. Thank you for the well informed video!
Great video, very informative, easy to understand and backed up by examples of clinical trials. I have a very similar diagnosis to your wife and my GP didn’t explain any of this but just prescribed me Calcium & Vit D supplements. I did some research and as as result decided not to take them but have improved my lifestyle, diet and exercise. Your video shows clearly what I need to do further so thank you!
Excellent! You may want to check out adding the following:. Glycine, around 6 grams per day, Boron, first months 10 mg/day, then maintenance dose 3 mg/day. Boron helps balancing calcium, magnesium and phosphate. Note: Collagen synthesis is severely diminished in osteoarthritis; thus, enhancing it may help the regeneration of cartilage. This requires large amounts of glycine, proline and lysine.
Thank you for the clearly presented information about bones and how to improve and/or maintain bone health. It is so helpful and brings hope to the many people faced with a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
One component is missing-HRT. In the book "Estrogen Matters" by Dr. Bluming he states "Exercise may improve bone strength and resistance to fracture in premenopausal women, but it does not improve bone strength or resistance to fracture among postmenopausal women who are not on HRT." Could you create a video on bone health and HRT?
I have osteoporosis a big exerciser going 12 miles/ day I fractured my femoral stem had anterior hip replacement found I have osteoporosis. My son a doctor Cardiothorasic surgeon feels I had a stress fracture when I hit the Greater Trochanter in the fall total fracture. I have high D level taking K 2 also. Anyway I wanted HRT Doctor nixed it I read it is about hormones. I have no arthritis. Can you overdue the exercise? I do Natto. My doctor advised Ca 1000 mg. I did dairy gained 15 lbs. Now doing more small fish and salmon.

I started hrt 3 months ago. Bio identical patch and oral progesterone. I started Grow Bone last month and will start algae cal too. I started d3k2 as well. It’s expensive. I take the grow bone and will do algae cal as well for the calcium because oscal and others are ground up oyster shells. We know what those feel like when we rub or step on them. It’s sharp and caused stones.
Cheeses have also vitamin K2, and they taste better than natto (at least for many people). I would also consider boron as a supplement for bone health and bone broth to get some collagen.
I agree with the retired podiatrist. This is a simply explained, backed by research description of how to improve our bone density. I’m a 72 yr old active woman with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. My last bone density test showed I had jumped from 2.5 to 2.9. I have recently stopped taking prescribed calcium and am increasing my input of the right foods. I now really understand the need to work with weights. Thank you very much
Join Osteo strong if there is one near you..reversed osteopenia to normal in six months. Had both hips replaced at 68..doctor said my bones were good. I do take D3k2..magnesium, now 70 about to take another $exa scan.
I can’t believe her doctor didn’t address this 6 years ago to ensure she could halt or slow the progress! I hope she has success addressing this. Healthy bones are critical for when we get older
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I'm 69 and have osteoporosis. I am already doing resistance strength training but will look more into the supplement links that you have provided. Thanks again, Dr.
Better than weighted squats because it's as effective, weighting the arms, legs, core, and spine --- . but it's safer. The coaches make sure that you are always in correct alignment.
If I could do the other weightlifting exercises other than the squats I think I could handle it. I tried to do squats as an exercise before and I lost control of the bladder. I unfortunately have interstitial cyctitis and also have hormonal issues related to weak pelvic area. But I can do almost everything else. Thank-you so much for the best informative video on this subject. You are right about getting the information out there , so many can have a clear plan of what to do!!!
I’m a 27-year-old male who was diagnosed with osteoporosis (T-score of -2.9) last month. We conducted comprehensive analyses and bloodwork, including checks for vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, hormonal imbalances, and celiac disease. Surprisingly, all results came back normal. My parents both did the scan and don’t have osteoporosis, which makes this even more perplexing for my doctors and me. It’s a puzzling situation as there doesn’t seem to be an obvious cause.
I have recently been diagnosed and while researching discovered that certain medications such as steroids, epilepsy meds, cancer meds, and SSRIs interfere with bone metabolism. My doctor also did a blood test for Protein Electrophoresis to check for monoclonal protein , which may indicate myeloma. Mine was fine.
This is one of the best and easy-to-follow videos on how to build bones. I appreciate the explanations to validate I am moving in the right direction with my workouts and supplementations. Thank you!
Excellent presentation, thank you for only giving relevant information and doing it concisely. Many presenters have us married to our phones or computers for 35+ minutes and still never get to the point...but wait now, that's in another video!!
Double thumbs up to you. This video came in when I’m just diagnosed with osteopenia. I’ll follow the vitamin dosage and of course the exercises for the bones. I’m doing the same just walking. I’ll try light weights and resistance. Thanks a ton.
Just happy to see your channel and discussing about the same bone issues I have for so long, and the doctors I’ve seen before, never cared about the good supplements needed for us to take. And watching your videos helped me understand the right supplements needed and I even went on the website to buy your supplements which I knew will be the better choice I made for the improvement of my bone health. I have subscribed to be notified for more healthy informations. Thank you for sharing your research and knowledge.
Thank you for this very insightful and informative video. As a nurse practitioner age 64 did not realize the importance of K2 in bone health and preventing buildup of calcium in the arteries until 2 years ago. They make formulations of vit D which contain K2. I use a weighted vest while walking to put more weight on my skeleton. Yes also lift weights!!
Thanks! I was dxd with Ostio last year, started taking alaecal, mk-7, milk basic protien, doing 100 jumps a day, and will be starting the Liftmore program in California soon. Check out the Bone Clinic (Australia) they are licensing thier Onero program around the world now, and there are 4 in California. You have to be a PT to provide it safely. No drugs for me!
@@flameofthewest6196 thank you for posting this and I hope readers will read it. You can take as many supplements as you want, but bone growth is led by stressing the bone and the Onero program is the only sensible weight lifting and impact training out there. This sort of exercise must be supervised by trained physical therapists because older people often have a range of other co-factors that impact movement. The program also develops balance and improves posture. Good luck with it. I’m hoping the US starts taking up the program across the country.
Also -Dr. Fishman’s 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis showed good evidence in a study. - Sarah Meeks method - Light march, stomping, heal drops - body weight jumps with stiff-legged landing; and aerobics with load > 4 times body weight. ✌️🦴
Dr. Dave was my primary care doctor at Scripps Clinic at Carmel Valley, San Diego. He had me on Crossfit and a Paleolitic diet in those days. I visited his new gym, but I moved to Oceanside. That's 30 to 45 minutes each way down to Sorrento Valley where his gym was (is). I'm glad that Dr. Clayton posted some links for natto. I bought a pressure cooker to make my own natto. But it's a lot of work. Dr. Dave is a great doctor and coach.
I had osteopenia and was put on D3 for 25yrs but not given any advice on diet or exercise or K2. I now have very serious osteoporosis and have cracked my spine and crushed a rib.
Calcium is not the answer! Calcium will harden on your arteries and cause a heart attack. We need D3, K2,3, Boron, Magnesium, Trace minerals. No Calcium!
Green leafy vegetables yes, but not spinach (as featured on the video) as we cannot absorb the calcium in it, and it also interferes with calcium absorption generally.
WOW! This knowledge is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been taking the D3 and k2 for at least 20 years now but still have osteoporosis. I think I am lacking phosphate and potassium. I am eating foods containing potassium but it's not enough. I will try to understand and get what you are recommending here and see my bone health in a year. I hope it works for me.
@@luv2travel2000 Hi This is Anjum, I have been taking it for 20 years but never consistently. well, In 2004 I started it D3 ( 400 IU) and K2 ( 50 mcg) and also because sometimes I wouldn't buy the vitamins for money issues, at the time. I was a single mom bringing up 2 kids and didn't think too much about my health. I had burning mouth syndrome and graves disease at the time so I started to take care of my self, a little bit. But from 2018 I moved in my son's house and didn't have to pay rent so I started taking care of my self and took D3 ( 1000 IU) and K2 (100 mcg) and did well. I also took selenium and coconut oil on my toast. That helped with my Thyroid ( graves) problems and I don't have it any more.I don't have Burning mouth any more. But I did have high blood pressure on and off ( fluctuating ) for last 7 months and my doctors prescribed medicine that I never picked up from the pharmacy. I refuse to take any drugs. I managed to control my blood pressure for the last 2 months. It still fluctuates but not too high. It's 136/84 to 130/83 . I am happy and don't even want to go to the doctors. I have tooth issue now ( one of my molar chipped and the food keep sticking in there which is hard to clean) and I am trying to find a natural remedy for that.
This information is outstanding. The skeleton placement is noteworthy! 😉Thank you so much for all of your studies and diligence in getting this information to us, Dr. Clayton! If possible, I would love to hear your thoughts on copper intake and what benefit, if any, Olive Oil has on cardiovascular health. I'm hearing info that low copper (and subsequently high iron levels), is an enormous reason for a lot of sickness and disease due to the lack of nutrients in our foods. As for Olive Oil, is it really as beneficial as some report? I've done some research, but I am only a novice when it comes to nutrition. Thanks again for all of these great health videos. You are a blessing!!
This was explained so well ! Thank you ! I also have osteoporosis, which has worsened in my lumbar spine. Do have a recommended supplement that has all these necessary vitamins and minerals in one pill.
What this Dr is suggesting should be much cheaper than most doctors or influencers suggest . Calcium as he recommends (mostly through diet) and D as he suggested ((or depending maybe through sun exposure) would be much less expensive than most supplements that often contain higher doses than are needed. I'm not informed about other supplements. But I truly understand your point and sympathize w. your frustration but maybe someone else might benefit from this point.
@@ChrissieSM They're cheaper than broken bones and lifetime of walking with a walker, if you can walk at all. I watched my late mil go through that; it's horrific.
I just looked up the cost of a good supplement that combines vitamins d3 and k2. £11 for a month's supply, £21 for two months supply. If that's your idea of expensive, then you may have your priorities messed up.
@@edennis8578 , I don't know where you get these from. Anyway, there is no need to be condescending. What about if I was poor and could not afford these supplements at those prices you quoted?
Nothing we eat can change the pH of our blood. That is strictly regulated by our lungs and kidneys and it always stays between 7.35 and 7.45. The blood is what determines our body’s pH, not urine. The pH of urine in a healthy human being can range between 5 and 8 and should do so to prevent infections. Chris Kresser did a 2 part video series on this
I am having Osteoporosis now. My care provider wants me to take Forsamax and I said no I want to try natural way I am taking calcium, magnesium ( Glycinate) ( not the same time) and a fews more vit.

Thanks for such an informative video. Unfortunately had my first Prolia injection before I discovered how harmful it is. Not going for my 2nd but go with goid diet supplements and exercise.
Thanks for the video! ❤ I know calcium carbonate is not good for you, but I was wondering if it makes a difference if it’s in food form? I recently noticed my almond milk has calcium carbonate in it, should I ditch it or would it still be beneficial?
I was taught that phosphorus blocks the absorption of calcium hence excess phosphorus in the diet causes osteoporosis ...OH!! that why we use potassium (bicrarbonate and chloride)... plus collards have lost of potassium BTW I was taught that milk is very acid forming so I eat at least 2 lbs of collards every day .... Also please let us know how her next dexa scan turns out!!! THANK YOU !!!
Hi Dr. Wow your video comes at such perfect time in my life. 62-year-old female with osteopenia. Have been taking the calcium supplement with the D3 for quite some time now. At one point I had also added a D plus K2 supplement but 90 days later the blood work showed my Vit D was too high so I stopped taking that supplement. It's also confusing. I would like to start getting the K2 back into my system but really don't know what to purchase so that I'm not overdoing the vitamin D. And is there a difference between D3 and just D?
GThankyou. A little white vinegar ( 1-2 tsp ) lemon juice, brown sugar ( as much as you need to consume the ingredients) , bicarbonate of soda, (and if you want to, Rooibosch tea (SA) with it ) . Long time before you see acidity symptoms again Jerk seasoning ( herbs & spices together) with food prevent acidity forming, when consuming Jesus Told
Thank you so much. I have had kidney calcium phosphate stone, and I couldn't get that much information about it other than taking high vitamin C. Please make a video about calcium phosphate kidney stone.

bio phosphates...
I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis and refused to take bisphosphonates. I am now working on building bone through exercise and supplementation. Those medications have terrible outcomes because they do nothing to build bone, they only slow or stop the natural processes that dissolve bone tissue, leaving the body with brittle bones.
Great info!!! RN here and forner marathon runner, barbell class instructor who suffered a hemirrhagic stroke for an unidentified reason. A scan showed osteoporosis in the keft ( paretic) femur. My doc was astounded given my years of lifting and running. I love the modalities Dr. Clayton gives and will implement them. Thank you!!!!
Right!
That's because weight lifting (and now OTHER YT doctors - & YT unfluencers - are also recommending walking/hiking with a weighted vest)....
These activities do not stimulate bone growth! Weight bearing activity is good for aging because it helps maintain & even form new muscle tissue, as well as strengthening our connective tissue.
It's a myth that everyone seems to want to persist in pushing - that lifting weights stimulates bone growth.
Look at the 'studies' - that some in this space keep mentioning.
No statistical improvement in bone growth with lifting weights, and especially NO moving the needle in the right direction with walking or running around - donning a weighted vest. Not that these weight bearing activit8es aren't good for cardiovascular abd muscle health - but they do not statistically improve bone health for osteopenia/osteoporosis patients.
The latest and most promising exercise (plus the dietary factors mentioned here) is jumping to stimulate bone growth.
Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD - exercise physiologist @ -Stanford School of Medicine - is mentioning more & more in her YT interviews, that jumping is where it's at, for stimulating bone growth.
She is connected to other female scientists studying womens' health & fitness.
One of these women scientists is conducting studies in exercise jumping protocols to stimulate bone health- abd the results look very promising.
I neglected to capture that scientist's name or their website the couple of times I heard Dr. Sims talk about jumping studies and how promising they are looking for helping to reverse osteoporosis.
I've been meaning to hunt down the information for awhile though @
Dr. Sims website - I'm pretty sure she probably references those studies there because she is mentioning jumping exercises and those studies more and more frequently now in her YT talks.
WOW! This was absolutely the BEST explanation of why we lose bone, and how we can build it back. Thank you for putting all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
Awesome video, love it! The exercise your wife was doing is the same one my good friend “M“ 67 years old was doing at one of those places. She was under their supervision, pushed too hard, and it went horribly wrong, popping something in her back and has now had major back surgery. She is still recovering months later. It will take years for her to get back to almost normal. Just a cautionary piece of info. 😢
Same thing happened to me at those gyms with those machines that are specifically for osteoporosis and building bone and strength first day my back went out for weeks I never went back
Wow thank you for the warning as I was thinking this was the one thing I haven't been doing!
Very helpful! My mom was just diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have been begging her for years to do resistance training to no avail. : ( She is panicking now and starting to add some resistance training to her walking and yoga practices. I think a big part of it is that her generation was encouraged to be thin and not to be concerned with the long-term consequences. Fortunately, that is changing and many women are now more focused on staying out of the nursing home due to a hip fracture, than having thin thighs.
Sounds like you're doing a great job pushing her in the right direction. Thanks for sharing!
I’m almost 60 with osteoporosis and my daughter 31 yr old and I signed up for a weight training class 2 days a week in our area in Utah County, Utah. Depending upon your mom’s age and your schedule find a weight lifting class and possibly go with her.
@@kimwestra2961 yes, I actually recommended that to her.😊 I'm happy to hear you and your daughter are sharing the weight lifting experience.
Why are calcium crystals accumulating in my knee meniscus (chondrocalcinosis). I had been taking for years calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and more recently (about one year) K2, as well as multivitamin. I'm 72 and walk and hike a lot but still have osteopenia. What can I do? Thanks
@@sunnyla2835some people have good luck with Apple cider vinegar. It seems to dissolve calcium crystal and aids in absorbing calcium to help it properly hi to the right areas. It also helps decrease inflammation in joints connected to the calcium crystals
Magnesium glycinate is important too- especially when taking larger doses of d3k2(m7).
Would you please explain why? Thank you.
@@kfetter9046 Dr. Berg here on youtube has videos about magnesium, and d3 +k2(m7) needing each other (like a co-factor?) to work optimally in the body-in synergy or unity. I think he has a download on his website too-it's free.
It helps it absorb better.
@@pionus3651 I take magnesium taurate mainly for heart health would this still do the job do u think?
Thank you for the information! I found out last year I have osteopenia after breaking my elbow and wrist within 2 months of each other. I'm only 52. I've been incorporating the supplements you mentioned but need to work on the strength training. I have been running on and off for 15 years and thought I was protecting my bones. Just shows you can't outrun a bad diet. Hope my next bone density shows improvement. Thank you for the well informed video!
Best video on osteoporosis that I’ve seen yet!
New sub❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you!
Great video, very informative, easy to understand and backed up by examples of clinical trials. I have a very similar diagnosis to your wife and my GP didn’t explain any of this but just prescribed me Calcium & Vit D supplements. I did some research and as as result decided not to take them but have improved my lifestyle, diet and exercise. Your video shows clearly what I need to do further so thank you!
All of this knowledge should be taught at schools, the same as nutrition, normally we are looking for information when we are already with a problem.
Excellent! You may want to check out adding the following:. Glycine, around 6 grams per day, Boron, first months 10 mg/day, then maintenance dose 3 mg/day.
Boron helps balancing calcium, magnesium and phosphate.
Note: Collagen synthesis is severely diminished in osteoarthritis; thus, enhancing it may help the regeneration of cartilage. This requires large amounts of glycine, proline and lysine.
@@rredding how about vitamin c's role in cartilage replacementt/maintenance.
@@marybusch6182 yes, you are correct!
I wrongly omitted that one, I use 1000 mg per day.
Thanks for sharing this video. Please keep us updated on how your wife is doing and what she finds most helpful in addressing her bone health issues.
This is the best video I have seen explaining the supplements and what they do to promote bone building!
Thank you for the clearly presented information about bones and how to improve and/or maintain bone health. It is so helpful and brings hope to the many people faced with a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
One component is missing-HRT. In the book "Estrogen Matters" by Dr. Bluming he states "Exercise may improve bone strength and resistance to fracture in premenopausal women, but it does not improve bone strength or resistance to fracture among postmenopausal women who are not on HRT." Could you create a video on bone health and HRT?
I have osteoporosis a big exerciser going 12 miles/ day I fractured my femoral stem had anterior hip replacement found I have osteoporosis. My son a doctor Cardiothorasic surgeon feels I had a stress fracture when I hit the Greater Trochanter in the fall total fracture. I have high D level taking K 2 also. Anyway I wanted HRT Doctor nixed it I read it is about hormones. I have no arthritis. Can you overdue the exercise? I do Natto. My doctor advised Ca 1000 mg. I did dairy gained 15 lbs. Now doing more small fish and salmon.

@@ThreeGreenthumbs I’d challenge that based on the Liftmor trials conducted in 2018.
I started hrt 3 months ago. Bio identical patch and oral progesterone. I started Grow Bone last month and will start algae cal too. I started d3k2 as well. It’s expensive. I take the grow bone and will do algae cal as well for the calcium because oscal and others are ground up oyster shells. We know what those feel like when we rub or step on them. It’s sharp and caused stones.
Thank you for this.

Thanks!
Super grateful for your support! Thank you!
Cheeses have also vitamin K2, and they taste better than natto (at least for many people). I would also consider boron as a supplement for bone health and bone broth to get some collagen.
Many in non Asian countries yes. ; ) Billions love it. Me not so much.
I agree with the retired podiatrist. This is a simply explained, backed by research description of how to improve our bone density. I’m a 72 yr old active woman with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. My last bone density test showed I had jumped from 2.5 to 2.9. I have recently stopped taking prescribed calcium and am increasing my input of the right foods. I now really understand the need to work with weights. Thank you very much
Join Osteo strong if there is one near you..reversed osteopenia to normal in six months. Had both hips replaced at 68..doctor said my bones were good. I do take D3k2..magnesium, now 70 about to take another $exa scan.
I can’t believe her doctor didn’t address this 6 years ago to ensure she could halt or slow the progress! I hope she has success addressing this. Healthy bones are critical for when we get older

Thank you so much for your very informative video. I'm 69 and have osteoporosis. I am already doing resistance strength training but will look more into the supplement links that you have provided. Thanks again, Dr.
Sorry to hear about your wife's situation. Thanks for the info on promotion of healthy bone building
Very helpful! Thank you!🎉
Thank you. This is very doable. I feel better already.
This is why I go to Osteo Strong! And I use a MOVE vibration plate.
I go to psteosyrong also. Lots of sun n hopefully more walking hiking eyc
Better than weighted squats because it's as effective, weighting the arms, legs, core, and spine --- . but it's safer. The coaches make sure that you are always in correct alignment.
This is a wonderful video! It has graphics and visuals that kept me watching it.
Thanks for your work, it’s helping a lot of people and me. 🙏💙
Thank you 🙏
If I could do the other weightlifting exercises other than the squats I think I could handle it. I tried to do squats as an exercise before and I lost control of the bladder. I unfortunately have interstitial cyctitis and also have hormonal issues related to weak pelvic area.
But I can do almost everything else.
Thank-you so much for the best informative video on this subject. You are right about getting the information out there , so many can have a clear plan of what to do!!!
I’m a 27-year-old male who was diagnosed with osteoporosis (T-score of -2.9) last month. We conducted comprehensive analyses and bloodwork, including checks for vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency, hormonal imbalances, and celiac disease. Surprisingly, all results came back normal. My parents both did the scan and don’t have osteoporosis, which makes this even more perplexing for my doctors and me. It’s a puzzling situation as there doesn’t seem to be an obvious cause.
It may relate to your microbiome or a genetic snip. Guy Daniels and Dr Nasha Winters may give you some helpful hints
@@samed.z same for my brother in law
Bone is about a third protein
I have recently been diagnosed and while researching discovered that certain medications such as steroids, epilepsy meds, cancer meds, and SSRIs interfere with bone metabolism. My doctor also did a blood test for Protein Electrophoresis to check for monoclonal protein , which may indicate myeloma. Mine was fine.
@@tonywong8134and cartilage. And vitamin c is needed for cartilage.
Thank you sir for explaining so nicely your program is very informative
This is one of the best and easy-to-follow videos on how to build bones. I appreciate the explanations to validate I am moving in the right direction with my workouts and supplementations. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for this great summation! Brief and to the point.
Excellent presentation, thank you for only giving relevant information and doing it concisely. Many presenters have us married to our phones or computers for 35+ minutes and still never get to the point...but wait now, that's in another video!!
Double thumbs up to you. This video came in when I’m just diagnosed with osteopenia. I’ll follow the vitamin dosage and of course the exercises for the bones. I’m doing the same just walking. I’ll try light weights and resistance. Thanks a ton.
Just happy to see your channel and discussing about the same bone issues I have for so long, and the doctors I’ve seen before, never cared about the good supplements needed for us to take. And watching your videos helped me understand the right supplements needed and I even went on the website to buy your supplements which I knew will be the better choice I made for the improvement of my bone health. I have subscribed to be notified for more healthy informations. Thank you for sharing your research and knowledge.
I also add 5 grams of creatine monohydrate daily to help build muscle and bone and many other great benefits! Thanks for your informative video 😊
@@Linda5904-d8j didn’t know it helped with bones
Thanks for great information , please advise if ACV is ok to take having been diagnosed with osteoporosis ❤
Thank you for this very insightful and informative video. As a nurse practitioner age 64 did not realize the importance of K2 in bone health and preventing buildup of calcium in the arteries until 2 years ago. They make formulations of vit D which contain K2. I use a weighted vest while walking to put more weight on my skeleton. Yes also lift weights!!
Thanks! I was dxd with Ostio last year, started taking alaecal, mk-7, milk basic protien, doing 100 jumps a day, and will be starting the Liftmore program in California soon. Check out the Bone Clinic (Australia) they are licensing thier Onero program around the world now, and there are 4 in California. You have to be a PT to provide it safely. No drugs for me!
Sounds like a great plan. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
I live in Orange County California do you know if they have one of these programs in Orange County?
@@flameofthewest6196 thank you for posting this and I hope readers will read it. You can take as many supplements as you want, but bone growth is led by stressing the bone and the Onero program is the only sensible weight lifting and impact training out there. This sort of exercise must be supervised by trained physical therapists because older people often have a range of other co-factors that impact movement. The program also develops balance and improves posture. Good luck with it. I’m hoping the US starts taking up the program across the country.
So grateful for this amazing explanation Dr ❤ I’m going to implement a lot of what you say to help bone health.
Even resistance bands help. Pilates is excellent and so is just using your body weight in a plank and if your bones are still ok, squat jumps.
Great suggestions!
Also
-Dr. Fishman’s 12 yoga poses for osteoporosis showed good evidence in a study.
- Sarah Meeks method
- Light march, stomping, heal drops
- body weight jumps with stiff-legged landing; and aerobics with load > 4 times body weight.

I have back pain, so I can’t lift too heavy. 😢
Fantastic video, comprehensive simple explanation of issues and solutions. Thank you doc.
Glad it was helpful!
Dr. Dave was my primary care doctor at Scripps Clinic at Carmel Valley, San Diego. He had me on Crossfit and a Paleolitic diet in those days. I visited his new gym, but I moved to Oceanside. That's 30 to 45 minutes each way down to Sorrento Valley where his gym was (is).
I'm glad that Dr. Clayton posted some links for natto. I bought a pressure cooker to make my own natto. But it's a lot of work.
Dr. Dave is a great doctor and coach.
Thanks for the props Bill! Hope you're doing great - I do miss the old gym! Best wishes
Thank you for breaking it down in easy to understand and do action.
Glad it was helpful!
I had osteopenia and was put on D3 for 25yrs but not given any advice on diet or exercise or K2. I now have very serious osteoporosis and have cracked my spine and crushed a rib.
Thank you, that was very clear and specific.
Osteoporosis is often caused by a boron deficiency.
I feel so much better taking borax diluted solution down to 6 mg in water!! Since taking boron supplements tore up my gut...
@@b.a.6362 A small pinch(100mg) of borax dissolved in 1-2 liters of clean water = 11mg boron.
Calcium is not the answer! Calcium will harden on your arteries and cause a heart attack. We need D3, K2,3, Boron, Magnesium, Trace minerals. No Calcium!
@@DawidRoos-y7g Prunes have boron. Apparently 4-5 prunes a day gives the boron you need.
@@b.a.6362 thank you!
Green leafy vegetables yes, but not spinach (as featured on the video) as we cannot absorb the calcium in it, and it also interferes with calcium absorption generally.
And is very high in oxalic acid.
I believe cooking spinach reduces the phytic acid.
WOW! This knowledge is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been taking the D3 and k2 for at least 20 years now but still have osteoporosis. I think I am lacking phosphate and potassium. I am eating foods containing potassium but it's not enough. I will try to understand and get what you are recommending here and see my bone health in a year. I hope it works for me.
Hello. You have been taking D3 & K2 for 20 years. Do mind saying how much D3 and how often (I assume daily)? I'm very curious about the dosage.
@@luv2travel2000 Hi This is Anjum, I have been taking it for 20 years but never consistently. well, In 2004 I started it D3 ( 400 IU) and K2 ( 50 mcg) and also because sometimes I wouldn't buy the vitamins for money issues, at the time. I was a single mom bringing up 2 kids and didn't think too much about my health. I had burning mouth syndrome and graves disease at the time so I started to take care of my self, a little bit. But from 2018 I moved in my son's house and didn't have to pay rent so I started taking care of my self and took D3 ( 1000 IU) and K2 (100 mcg) and did well. I also took selenium and coconut oil on my toast. That helped with my Thyroid ( graves) problems and I don't have it any more.I don't have Burning mouth any more. But I did have high blood pressure on and off ( fluctuating ) for last 7 months and my doctors prescribed medicine that I never picked up from the pharmacy. I refuse to take any drugs. I managed to control my blood pressure for the last 2 months. It still fluctuates but not too high. It's 136/84 to 130/83 . I am happy and don't even want to go to the doctors. I have tooth issue now ( one of my molar chipped and the food keep sticking in there which is hard to clean) and I am trying to find a natural remedy for that.
What about protein? Any recommendations for osteoporosis?
So good thanks. I appreciate the positive attitude and information to empower people to improve their health.❤
You are so welcome!

This information is outstanding. The skeleton placement is noteworthy! 😉Thank you so much for all of your studies and diligence in getting this information to us, Dr. Clayton! If possible, I would love to hear your thoughts on copper intake and what benefit, if any, Olive Oil has on cardiovascular health. I'm hearing info that low copper (and subsequently high iron levels), is an enormous reason for a lot of sickness and disease due to the lack of nutrients in our foods. As for Olive Oil, is it really as beneficial as some report? I've done some research, but I am only a novice when it comes to nutrition. Thanks again for all of these great health videos. You are a blessing!!

This was explained so well ! Thank you ! I also have osteoporosis, which has worsened in my lumbar spine. Do have a recommended supplement that has all these necessary vitamins and minerals in one pill.
Problem is with us seniors on fixed incomes can’t afford the supplements everyone is selling.
What this Dr is suggesting should be much cheaper than most doctors or influencers suggest . Calcium as he recommends (mostly through diet) and D as he suggested ((or depending maybe through sun exposure) would be much less expensive than most supplements that often contain higher doses than are needed. I'm not informed about other supplements. But I truly understand your point and sympathize w. your frustration but maybe someone else might benefit from this point.
@@moiraflint , indeed, D3, K2, zinc, to name a few, are not cheap here in England.
@@ChrissieSM They're cheaper than broken bones and lifetime of walking with a walker, if you can walk at all. I watched my late mil go through that; it's horrific.
I just looked up the cost of a good supplement that combines vitamins d3 and k2. £11 for a month's supply, £21 for two months supply. If that's your idea of expensive, then you may have your priorities messed up.
@@edennis8578 , I don't know where you get these from. Anyway, there is no need to be condescending. What about if I was poor and could not afford these supplements at those prices you quoted?
Nothing we eat can change the pH of our blood. That is strictly regulated by our lungs and kidneys and it always stays between 7.35 and 7.45. The blood is what determines our body’s pH, not urine. The pH of urine in a healthy human being can range between 5 and 8 and should do so to prevent infections. Chris Kresser did a 2 part video series on this
I am having Osteoporosis now. My care provider wants me to take Forsamax and I said no I want to try natural way I am taking calcium, magnesium ( Glycinate) ( not the same time) and a fews more vit.

Also please let us know how her next dexa scan turns out!!! THANK YOU !!!
Hi Dr. Wow your video comes at such perfect time in my life. 62-year-old female with osteopenia. Have been taking the calcium supplement with the D3 for quite some time now. At one point I had also added a D plus K2 supplement but 90 days later the blood work showed my Vit D was too high so I stopped taking that supplement. It's also confusing. I would like to start getting the K2 back into my system but really don't know what to purchase so that I'm not overdoing the vitamin D. And is there a difference between D3 and just D?
