Are You Really Digesting What You Eat? The Gut-Bone Connection You Can’t Ignore for Bone Health & Osteoporosis
When it comes to bone health, we often talk about calcium, vitamin D, or strength training — but few people realize that strong bones actually begin in the gut. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explores one of the most overlooked root causes of bone loss and osteoporosis: poor digestion.
Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it’s not just what you eat—it’s what you absorb.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why digestion is the foundation of bone health
- The step-by-step “mouth to bones” process of nutrient absorption
- Signs your digestive system may not be working properly
- How poor digestion and inflammation trigger bone loss
- The role of the gut-bone axis in osteoporosis and osteopenia
- Simple, practical steps to support healthy digestion and stronger bones
Action Steps
- Slow down when eating. Take deep breaths and eat in a calm, mindful state to support proper digestion.
- Chew your food thoroughly. Digestion begins in the mouth—help your enzymes do their job.
- Stay hydrated, but skip large drinks during meals. Avoid diluting stomach acid.
- Add more fiber. Aim for 30 grams daily to support your microbiome and regular bowel movements.
- Consider functional testing. A stool lab can uncover the root cause of poor digestion or nutrient malabsorption.
