Gabriel challenges conventional calcium-only approach: bone health requires MULTIPLE nutrients working synergistically plus weight-bearing exercise.
Gabriel challenges conventional calcium-only approach: bone health requires MULTIPLE nutrients working synergistically plus weight-bearing exercise. Protocol: 1) Optimize Vitamin D (critical—optimal level 60-80), 2) Vitamin K2 (directs calcium into bones, out of arteries—CRITICAL nutrient most people lack), 3) Magnesium, boron, trace minerals, 4) Adequate protein (builds bone matrix), 5) Weight-bearing and resistance exercise (MOST IMPORTANT), 6) Reduce inflammation and acidity, 7) Optimize hormones (bioidentical if appropriate), 8) Heal gut (absorption). Bisphosphonates have serious risks—natural approach builds healthy bone.
Standard Treatment
Bisphosphonates (Fosamax, Boniva, Reclast—first-line), Denosumab (Prolia—RANKL inhibitor), Hormone replacement (estrogen), Calcitonin, Teriparatide (Forteo—anabolic), Romosozumab (Evenity—newest), Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation.
The Problem
Bisphosphonates: reduce fracture risk but build POOR quality bone (suppress natural remodeling), serious side effects: osteonecrosis of jaw (rare but devastating), atypical femur fractures (with long-term use), esophageal irritation, musculoskeletal pain, difficult to stop (rebound bone loss), Prolia: even worse rebound bone loss if stopped (can't stop safely), doesn't address root cause (nutrient deficiencies, lack of exercise, hormonal factors), calcium supplementation alone insufficient (needs cofactors), doesn't emphasize resistance exercise (most important intervention), vitamin K2 completely overlooked (directs calcium into bones).

Adequate protein (1-1.2g/kg—critical for bone matrix, elderly often deficient), calcium-rich foods (dairy if tolerated, sardines with bones, leafy greens, sesame seeds), vitamin K2 foods (fermented foods especially natto, grass-fed butter, egg yolks, liver), magnesium-rich foods, alkaline diet (vegetables, fruits—reduce acidity), bone broth, avoid excessive salt (increases calcium loss), limit soda (phosphoric acid), moderate caffeine, adequate vitamin C, organic.
Weight-bearing exercise and resistance training CRITICAL (stimulates bone formation—nothing else does this), impact exercise (jumping, running if appropriate), quit smoking (major risk factor), limit alcohol (>2 drinks/day increases risk), avoid chronic steroid use, careful with PPIs (reduce calcium absorption—use only if necessary), fall prevention (strength, balance, vision, home safety), sunlight exposure (vitamin D), healthy weight (being underweight increases risk).
Mind, Body & Spirit
True healing requires addressing all dimensions of health. These evidence-based practices complement physical treatment protocols.
Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation and prevents fractures.
Tai Chi and balance exercises reduce fall risk and improve bone health.
Overcoming fear of movement and fracture to engage in bone-building activities.
Reclaiming physical power and independence through strength building.
Sun avoidance may increase all-cause mortality
Vitamin D RDA may be too low for optimal health
Sunscreen blocks vitamin D production essential for health
Calcium supplements may increase heart attack risk without vitamin K2
HRT timing matters - early use protective, late use harmful
Calcium supplements may calcify arteries without vitamin K2
WHI timing and formulation were wrong—early bioidentical HRT is protective
Corticosteroids suppress adrenal function and cause multiple serious side effects
Bisphosphonates cause jaw necrosis and atypical brittle bone fractures
Dietary acid load affects bone and kidney health despite stable blood pH
Antacids impair absorption of B12, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc
