Have you been told that osteoporosis is just about aging or low calcium?

In this eye-opening conversation, I’m joined by renowned integrative gastroenterologist and author Dr. Partha Nandi to explore the true drivers of bone loss—and why they have more to do with gut health, hormone balance, and chronic inflammation than most people realize.

We dive into the hidden connections between digestive dysfunction, estrogen loss, and systemic inflammation, and how these factors silently break down your bones over time. Dr. Nandi shares a holistic, empowering approach to not just preventing osteoporosis—but transforming your overall health from the inside out.

• What your digestive symptoms may be revealing about nutrient absorption
• Dr. Nandi’s 5 pillars of health and how to use them to strengthen bones naturally
• Why you are not your diagnosis, and how to reclaim your healing power

You are not broken—you are ready to heal.
