If you have several bone health risk factors, or a few strong factors, you may be concerned about your bones ability to stay strong throughout your life. And given the potentially debilitating consequences of fractures physically and financially its no wonder youre anxious!But understand this: you may have the same bone density and fracture risk as another woman, and one of you will fracture and one of you wont. So what accounts for these differences, and what can you do to improve your bone health without taking a drug?
Its simple: The presence of risk factors doesnt determine whether or not you will suffer from weak bones, but how you respond to those risk factors does. So take control of the factors you can change, and start building better bones.
Whats your bone burden?
In their natural state, your bones are fully capable of supporting you throughout your life. But factors like hormonal imbalance, insufficient nutrition, certain medications, and an acid-forming diet place an overwhelming burden on your bones. Without enough support to compensate, the result is thin bone, weak bone, or both.Fortunately you can reduce the demands on your bones. When you combine this approach with support for bone-building cells, you can balance your bone metabolism and strengthen your bones.
A natural approach supports bone metabolism
Women to Women has partnered with Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD, published author and the worlds leading authority on natural bone health, to create the Personal Program for Better Bones. Dr. Browns revolutionary approach has helped thousands of women for over 25 years at the Center for Better Bones and is the basis of our Personal Program, which is designed for women to use right at home.
The Personal Program for Better Bones reduces the demands on your bones while increasing the support to your bone-building cells. Our natural approach:
supplies balanced, therapeutic amounts of 16 essential bone-building nutrients, including calcium and vitamins D and K, in medical-grade form;
restores pH balance to your body, freeing mineral reserves to build and strengthen bone;
helps you minimize factors that interfere with bone building or contribute to excessive bone breakdown;
teaches you simple dietary and lifestyle changes that help build bone and increase your overall sense of wellness.
The Personal Program for Better Bones provides unmatched, comprehensive, natural bone health support. And because every aspect of the Program also supports your general health, you can expect to feel a genuine improvement in your overall sense of wellness while youre making progress towards better bones. Members of our Program report better energy levels, clearer thinking, and more stable mood, just to name a few.Build strong bone, cell by cell
The advantage of a natural approach to bone health is that it helps restore balance to your bone metabolism, rather than halting the bone breakdown thats necessary for repair. Healthy bone continually dissolves old, weak bone and replaces it with new, stronger bone. This self-repair process helps maintain bone strength and resilience, which is ultimately more important than bone density. Even dense bones can be brittle if the quality of the bone is not maintained.A natural approach gives your bones the support they need to do what they do best: build strong bone, one cell at a time.
Your pH no longer a silent thief
When you join the Personal Program, you will go through an initial healing phase, during which you will establish an alkaline pH level that reduces the burden on your bones. An alkaline pH level allows your bones to use their minerals for building density and strength, rather than fighting systemic acidosis.Youll be able to watch your pH level normalize using the pH test kit included in your Program. When your pH reaches its ideal level, youll know that the burden on your bones is measurably less. For most women, this happens within 2-4 weeks of starting their Program.
Its never too late to change
No matter where you are on the spectrum of bone health, you can use the Personal Program to improve the strength and condition of your bones. The wonderful thing about bone health is that every day counts, and its never too late nor too early to support your bones.Weve seen this approach help thousands of women, and now its your turn.
