Osteoporosis and Nutrition

Osteoporosis affects 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 and 1 in 9 men of the same age group. It is a complex condition involving many different factors such as hormone levels, nutrition and lifestyle. It is, however, a preventable illness, so if you can relate to all or some of the following statements then you may be at risk and could benefit from making dietary and lifestyle changes to avoid this disease.    

  • “Yo Yo” dieter
  • Suffered from an eating disorder
  • Family history of Osteoporosis
  • Irregular periods
  • Never exercise or exercise too much
  • Under/Over Active Thyroid
  • Early Menopause
  • Hysterectomy
  • Suffer from Crohn’s, Coeliac’s disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Post menopausal
  • Becoming shorter with age
  • Heavy consumption of tea, coffee and alcohol

There is no one specific cause or treatment for osteoporosis but more of a combination of nutrient deficiencies and conditions including; eating too much protein from meat, low levels of stomach acid, exposure to large amounts of toxic metals, high intake of coffee, tea and alcohol and excessive consumption of sugar. Osteoporosis can be treatable, preventable and in some instances even reversible, with a good nutrition programme. Working either on its own or alongside conventional treatments.

What our clients say – about nutrition for osteoporosis

Most of my life I have been underweight, anxious and hyperactive with poor eating habits. For several years I have suffered from aching joints and severe back pain. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and prescribed medication. I had several side effects which prompted me to look deeper into this problem.

I contacted Emma Vanlint who I found on the Nutritional Therapy Clinic website in 2008. On my first visit to the Clinic, the receptionist was helpful. During my session with Emma, I felt at ease and found her both knowledgeable and understanding. She introduced me to special diets, complimented by carefully chosen supplements to balance my nutritional intake in order to help the body’s own ability to stabilise and to correct my condition.

Reassuring parts of this treatment are also the tests carried out which are able to monitor the many aspects contributing to osteoporosis.

Thanks to Emma, my back pain has subsided and I am eating healthy food with supplements and I am much less anxious and hyperactive as well as sleeping much better and for the first time ever have lie-ins. In addition to this I now have a fitness regime.

Emma has given me new hope and the strength to cope with this condition.
