I’m happy to share the recording of my webinar on osteoporosis, which includes 11 videos and a Q&A.

Nearly one in five adults in the world may have osteoporosis, but the good news is that only about 30 percent of osteoporotic bone fracture risk is genetic. In this two-hour webinar, I covered bone mineral density screening, common over-the-counter drugs (like acid blockers that may actually increase fracture risk), how safe and effective the current oral and injected osteoporosis medications are, which foods may help protect our bones, the best type and frequency of exercise, how to reduce fall risk, and more.

All of these individual videos will eventually be up on NutritionFacts.org, but I wanted to share this full webinar with you, including the 30-minute Q&A at the end.

I’m kicking off my 2024 webinars with a four-part How Not to Age book club in January and February. (Stay tuned for more information!) Other webinar topics will include vaccines, osteoarthritis, and anti-aging medications.

    Thank you Dr Gregor for making this Webinar free and accessible. You are the best.
  • @betsykarasik9626
    THANK YOU. So much more informative and nuanced than what any doctor or health column in a newspaper has provided.
  • @kst157
    Brilliant! Thank you Dr. Greger & your team! 👍
  • @naftalibendavid
    You all will be stunned to learn that diet and exercise are better than any other intervention or prevention strategy. Sleep would probably help, too.

    Dr Greger, I hope that the questioner who was struggling with a doc who wanted to push calcium supplements stops and recognizes that MDs are like any other kind of professional - some are forward-thinking and keep up with new information being discovered, and others are less conscientious and content to go with what they think has worked before, whether it's been "put to the test" or not. Thanks for this webinar.
  • Thank you for this very informative presentation regarding a very important geriatric matter. I appreciate your example and sense of humor too. Keep up the good work.
  • This webinar was mentioned a while ago but I wasn't able to watch it. Great to see it now, thanks.
  • Congratulations on CME status! 🎉❤ Fortunate for medical professionals!

    Thanks a lot. Walk and talk test. I have a young neighbor with severe rheumatoid arthritis who can not walk and talk more than 1 hour and have to sit down and talk. Now I see why. I never met with such phenomenon before. God bless!
