Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Osteoporosis is now seen by many physicians as an inflammatory disease. Managing inflammation becomes critical to control bone loss. Inflammation can be found in various forms within the body, including gut health issues.
The main root causes of bone loss include inflammation, stress (both mental/emotional and biochemical), hormone imbalance, mineral imbalance, acidity, toxicity, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Gut health is crucial because many root causes of bone loss, such as inflammation, mineral imbalances, and toxicity, originate from poor gut health. Improving gut function can significantly impact bone health positively.
Functional labs, such as stool tests, help to uncover root causes of bone loss by providing detailed information on gut health, including bacteria, yeast overgrowth, and digestive capacity. This allows for targeted treatment protocols to improve overall health and bone density.
