   "Looking Beyond the T-Score: What an Integrative Approach to Osteoporosis Really Means" with Anne Lemons

   PendingIn this fascinating and informative talk, Anne outlines what integrative bone health is and what it is not. She clarifies that it's not about never taking drugs or disagreeing with the medical community. "It's not about deviating from traditional medicine, but instead getting a fuller picture. It's about expanding the conversation so we can have better care for our bones. The goal isn't to have just a better DXA but it is to build a body and a lifestyle that supports strong and resilient bones." This talk will really enhance your understanding of what it takes to enhance your bone strength and feel more confident in your body.

She practices with clients nationwide. After experiencing osteoporosis herself, Anne became passionate about helping women look beyond the T-score and understand the many interconnected factors that can influence bone health. Her approach recognizes that bone health is not simply about calcium, vitamin D, or bone density, but about the bigger picture—including nutrition, gut health, hormones, metabolic health, sleep, stress, exercise and movement, and other lifestyle factors. Anne is BoneFit™ trained through the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation and a certified Buff Bones® instructor, with additional training in functional medicine, gut health, SIBO, and HeartMath. Through her practice, Anne helps women move from fear and confusion after an osteoporosis diagnosis to greater knowledge, confidence, and agency, while developing a deeper understanding of how the different systems of the body work together to support stronger bones.

   "All Questions answered about Menopausal Hormone Therapy" with Dr. Amanda Clark

   This incredibly comprehensive presentation given by Dr. Amanda Clark explores the menopause transition and its profound impact on women’s bone health and overall well-being. Drawing on landmark research, including the SWAN study and Women’s Health Initiative, Dr. Clark explains what happens hormonally during perimenopause and menopause and why this is a critical period for bone loss. She reviews the different forms, doses, and regimens of estrogen and progesterone and how women and their clinicians can approach individualized hormone therapy decisions. The presentation examines the benefits and potential risks of hormone therapy, including its effects on breast cancer, cardiovascular health, diabetes, cholesterol, dementia, and bone mineral density. Particular attention is given to preventing and managing menopause-related bone loss and developing long-term strategies to preserve bone strength. She also discusses vaginal estrogen and its role in treating genitourinary symptoms, providing women with an evidence-based framework for making informed decisions about their health. A highly informative Q&A will follow the presentation. Dr. Clark is Professor Emerita at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and a Senior Affiliate Investigator at the Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) Center for Health Research.

   "The Future Role of Bone Health Medications" with Dr. Mary Bouxsein, Prof Harvard Medical School

   OsteoBoston is proud to host Dr. Mary Bouxsein, a renowned osteoporosis expert and the lead researcher of the groundbreaking SABRE Study. In this talk, Dr. Bouxsein clarifies how the study has revolutionized bone medication development by changing its core definition. Instead of undergoing lengthy trials to prove they prevent fractures, new medications can now be approved based on improved bone mineral density (BMD). By establishing BMD as the FDA’s first surrogate endpoint for osteoporosis, this historic shift has dramatically accelerated drug development, unlocked new funding, and already triggered a wave of new lab openings and FDA submissions.

A summary of this program: This talk by Dr. John Neustadt focuses on a more integrative and “whole-person” approach to osteoporosis and fracture prevention. Looking beyond bone density scores alone and focusing on actual fracture risk and bone quality. The idea that many fractures occur in people whose DEXA scans are not in the osteoporosis range. Discussion of lifestyle and medical factors that weaken bone, including poor sleep, inflammation, acid-blocking medications, SSRIs, inactivity, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal changes. Emphasis on nutrition — especially adequate protein intake, Mediterranean-style eating, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin K2 (particularly MK-4). A review of exercise, muscle strength, balance, and fall prevention as critical parts of bone protection. Discussion of hormone health and how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone can influence bone remodeling. Cautions about relying only on medications without addressing underlying contributors to bone fragility. Encouragement for patients to become educated advocates for their own bone health plans. Dr. Neustadt also emphasized that osteoporosis develops gradually over decades and that improving bone health requires combining medical evaluation with nutrition, movement, sleep, and metabolic health strategies.

   "The Future of Osteoporosis Treatment" by Dr. Marc N. Wein, MD., PHD

   In this program, Dr. Wein, MD, PHD of Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School will be discussing new treatments under investigation used to treat osteoporosis. These advancing potential new osteoporosis therapies will be accelerated due to the FDA’s approval of Bone Mineral Density as the primary endpoint for new medications based on the SABRE recommendations. Previously, approval was based on fracture prevention, which prolonged drug development and hindered innovative research into new medications. This is an exciting change for osteoporosis research. Here is the link to the Wein Laboratory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZgVEWaRSe8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZgVEWaRSe8) (where some of the latest technology is currently taking place.) 3/2026 Here is a link to an article printed about the new oral medication currently under testing, SK-124 https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/973616#:~:text=Wein%20and%20his%20colleagues%20generated,%2C%20and%20Radius%20Health%2C%20Inc (https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/973616#:~:text=Wein%20and%20his%20colleagues%20generated,%2C%20and%20Radius%20Health%2C%20Inc).

   "Nutrients for Bone Health" Liam Fouhy, Research Scientist, Biostatistician, Professor U. of Mass.

   Take a listen and learn how eating a holistic, whole foods diet (any one of the 3 he mentions) can create real changes to your bone health. Diet may even prevent stress from affecting your bones! Today we visit with Liam Fouhy, as he presents "Nutrients for Bone Health". I learned about Liam’s work from reading about the study he did on Calcium-Magnesium ratios. In this podcast, Liam shares how everyday lifestyle and nutrition choices influence bone health as we age, and why focusing on one's overall diet—matters greatly for bone strength. He will also highlight how chronic stress may quietly undermine bone health and offer some practical guidance that will you to shape bone improved outcomes. Liam Fouhy is a Research Scientist and Biostatistician as well as an adjunct Biomedical and Nutrition Sciences professor with a focus on public health, nutrition, and disease prevention. His work examines how lifestyle factors—such as diet, physical activity, and metabolic health—influence bone strength and overall aging outcomes. Liam is especially interested in translating scientific research into practical, evidence-based guidance that people can use in their everyday lives. He enjoys working with community groups to help make complex health topics understandable, actionable, and relevant.

[…] And so every medical organization that has looked at the data has correctly concluded that fracture risk depends on factors largely other than bone density because Bone strength is really not determined as much as we used to think just by the minerals in bone. […]
