Ep. 88: Lisa Cherry: Her Story - Reversing Osteoporosis
Welcome back to the Her Story: Osteoporosis series of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast. Join us as we dive into the world of bone health with women with a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia sharing experiences, insights, and strategies for leading a stronger life and taking control of their bone health.
In today's episode host Debi Robinson welcomes Lisa Cherry to discuss her incredible journey of improving bone health through natural methods. Lisa has successfully transitioned her bone condition from osteoporosis to osteopenia by embracing lifestyle changes, and she shares her inspiring story with us.
Lisa Cherry, from Huntsville, Alabama, was diagnosed with osteopenia and later osteoporosis after a DEXA scan ordered by her gynecologist. Uninformed about her diagnosis for years, she decided against medication like Fosamax. Instead, Lisa pursued alternative methods to strengthen her bones, including OsteoStrong sessions, a varied exercise routine, and significant dietary changes. Her commitment led to remarkable improvements in her bone quality and overall health, and she joins Debi to share the details of her transformative journey.
Join Debi and Lisa as they discuss the importance of a balanced lifestyle, incorporating exercise without it dominating your life, and the benefits of yoga for flexibility and mental wellness. Lisa’s story highlights the power of taking control of your health and making informed decisions, encouraging listeners to explore natural methods for reversing bone loss and strengthening their bones.
