Understanding Osteoporosis Through Emma's Experience

Osteoporosis can be a complex and challenging condition. That's why I’m eager to share a video from my channel featuring R. Keith McCormick, DC, where we dive into a case study of Emma, focusing on her journey with low TSH, menopause difficulties, and digestive issues. This case study offers valuable insights into the nuances of bone health.

What We Learned from Emma's Story

In our discussion, we cover several key aspects:

• Emma’s Background: We start by introducing Emma’s case, discussing the role of anabolic drugs in improving bone density.
• Understanding Bone Density: Here, we talk about the importance of follow-up treatments after anabolic therapy and delve into the technicalities of measuring bone density, especially in the hip neck.
• Testing and Medication: This part includes a fascinating discussion about a Columbia University Medical Center study on depression, SSRIs, and their impact on bone density. We also explore how blood tests can reveal bone activity and quality, along with the use of bioidentical hormones for osteoporosis.
• Personal Protocol and Gluten Sensitivity: Dr. McCormick shares his personal medication protocol for osteoporosis and discusses gluten sensitivity and testing methods.
• Q&A Session: We conclude with a Q&A session, where we answer various questions from participants, including those about medication use and testing methods.
