Summary: Our UW Radio guest is Dr. John Neustadt. The doc is a super-nerd with a ridiculous amount of knowledge on bone health and osteoporosis! He and I are pretty excited to bring you a ton of info that you'll likely never hear at your doctor's office. For example: Did you know that calcium and Vitamin D supplementation reduces fracture risk by just 16%? Not bad. But we'll show you something MUCH better. Did you know that 20% of those who fracture a hip die within a year? Did you know that the vitamin K and magnesium oxides typically used in bone health supplements are barely absorbed and do NOT increase bone mass? Did you know that prolonged use of prescription bone drugs like Fosomax actually INCREASE risk of fracture? Oh yeah, it's ON!! Hosted by Sean Croxton of Underground Wellness.
