Foundations of Resilient Health: The Bone-Body Connection

Foundations of Resilient Health: a Wellness Series with Elizabeth Greenfield

Part 2: The Bone-Body Connection: Building Strength from the Inside Out

This talk covers how gut health, inflammation, and hormones all influence bone density. We’ll also discuss nutrients beyond calcium and safe, sustainable ways to support bone strength – whether you’re looking to prevent future issues or address early bone loss.

Key topics:

• How bone health is influenced by gut health, hormones, and inflammation
• Beyond calcium: the role of magnesium, vitamin K2, boron, and protein
• Early warning signs your bones may need support
• How toxins, medications (like PPIs), and inactivity impact bone strength
• Strategies to build and preserve bone density naturally

Common concerns this addresses:

• Wanting to protect bone health before problems start
• Hesitation around starting medications for osteopenia
• Interest in staying active, strong, and injury-resistant
• Curiosity about how hormones, gut health, or inflammation affect bones
• Concern about future fractures or family history of osteoporosis
