A practical step from the short lessons
Build a food-first foundation
Include calcium-rich foods, protein, and a personal vitamin D plan.
Use food labels to estimate one day's calcium, then use the reference below to prepare questions about any gap. A gap is not a supplement dose.
Know what progress can tell you
Connect your training record, DXA reports, and treatment plan.
Bring your original DXA reports, training notes, and one question about exercise or treatment to your next visit.
