When I found out I had osteopenia while I was in my early 40s, I was shocked. I was a personal trainer, after all. I exercised. I ate healthy. I thought I was doing everything right. So I set out on a mission to learn everything I could about osteoporosis, and its precursor, osteopenia. And I learned a lot. Since then, I've shared what I know and helped dozens of clients and others. Now I want to share it with you. And no, I still don't have osteoporosis, 15 years later!
Getting an osteoporosis diagnosis can be devastating.
I don't want you to feel the overwhelm that I felt.
If you're like me, you may have these feelings -
​
You feel helpless that it's too late to make your bones stronger.
​
You're devastated that your active lifestyle may have to end.
​
You're worried that you'll break a bone and become debilitated.
​
You know you should be exercising to strengthen your bones, but you don't know what to do, and you don't want to hurt yourself.
You're afraid of becoming - or you already are - isolated from others
because you're afraid to be in situations where you could be hurt.
​
You're afraid that osteoporotic
'hump' is in your future.
​
You're concerned about taking
medication because you've
heard about so many side
effects.
​
And you're not sure what the
future hold for you.
You look 'normal'. You feel
'normal'.
​
All on the outside.
​
But on the inside -
​
Your bones are fragile. You feel different. You feel alone. You feel no one understands your worries.
​
I want you to know - You are not alone. These are common thoughts and fears.
​
Debilitating broken bones, isolation, and your worst fears for your future are not inevitable.
​
I want to give you all the information you need to build strong bones.
It's not too late.
​
Let me share my knowledge and experience with you so you don't have to experience these feelings. I know. I've been there.
​
I will share the facts - risk factors that we have control over, proper nutrition and safe, effective exercises. You will leave this training with the knowledge, and solid action steps to face the future confidently.
I invite you to join me for an
Osteoporosis Masterclass
I will teach you how to strengthen your bones and live a full, active life with this silent disease.
​
This information filled two hour class (including a Q and A period where I will answer your specific questions!) will give you the knowledge to feel confident you're doing everything to improve your bone health.
