A woman is just as likely to get an osteoporosis fracture as she is to get breast, uterine and ovarian cancer and every three seconds someone with osteoporosis breaks a bone. In fact, people spend more time in a hospital because of osteoporosis than for diabetes, heart attacks and breast cancer.

But the conventional approach is woefully inadequate. It focuses almost exclusively on improving bone density, even though a bone density test only predicts 44% of women and 21% of men who will break a bone. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Blessed to have Dr. John Neustadt on the show today to talk about osteoporosis and how to actually fracture proof your bones. Dr. Neustadt is a naturopathic doctor, internationally recognized researcher, and best selling author of Fracture Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide To Osteoporosis.

Dr. Neustadt is also the founder of Nutritional Biochemistry (NBI) dietary supplements as he couldn't find formulas needed for his patients. After interviewing Dr. Neustadt, I could tell quality and the correct ratios of certain vitamins was hugely important to him, and I would definitely recommend his brand to anyone especially his Osteo-K formula for bone health.

Dr. Neustadt is giving my listeners 30% off all his supplements and his book for free if you order. Just head to the page for Hacked Life listeners only.
