PROTEIN POWDERS
Finding a clean protein powder can be a challenge. Most, at least that I’ve seen, are loaded with Antinutrients, artificial flavors, legume-based proteins such as soy, pea, etc., or non-organic and/or non-grass-fed/non-pasture-raised ingredients with yet more antinutrients. Some have sugars or artificial sweeteners, such as the example below: (Note the Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose, bothContinue reading “PROTEIN POWDERS”

Aluminum’s Effects On the Bones
Impact of Aluminum on Bone Health Aluminum accumulation in bones can lead to oxidative damage, affect blood vessel tone, and cause apoptosis of heart muscle cells, potentially impacting bone and cardiovascular health.

What Do Your Bones Really Need?
I see this often, usually in other osteoporosis (OP) groups, but there are NO osteoporosis “specialists”. Some are told to see a Rheumatologist, who mostly specializes in “internal medicine.” Some are seeing endocrinologists, who specialize in hormones and the endocrine system. A few have had it suggested to see an osteopath, and some just seeContinue reading “What Do Your Bones Really Need?”
