In this podcast episode, I have a great discussion with the Bone Coach, Kevin Ellis and we review the root cause factors for bone loss and osteoporosis and how to prevent bone loss naturally.
Are you aware that osteoporosis isn’t just about calcium deficiency? In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Jockers’ Functional Nutrition Podcast, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Kevin Ellis, The Bone Coach, to uncover the hidden causes of bone loss and share actionable strategies to build stronger, healthier bones.
