Continue your professional development with our Mastering bone health: An integrative framework for osteoporosis prevention and management
This course will take a deep dive into the multifactorial nature of osteoporosis, exploring bone as a dynamic and responsive tissue affected by diet, hormones, stress, exercise, and more. Through a functional lens, it gives practitioners a clinical framework for working with bone density across the lifecycle, especially during menopause and ageing.
Many practitioners may not recognise contributing factors and early signs of knowledge or lack confidence in interpreting bone scans and tests, advising on suitable nutrition plans, exercise or supplements, or personalising support for bone loss in the presence of gut, autoimmune, or hormonal issues and other conditions.
This course provides clarity, structure, and case-based insight to help practitioners avoid common pitfalls and develop impactful, evidence-informed plans in any case beyond menopause.This course will walk through diagnostic tools like DEXA, REMS and other tests, benefits and limitations, then explore the root causes of bone loss using a functional approach.
It will cover key nutrients, lifestyle and exercise interventions, fasting and popular diets, hormonal influence, and trauma/stress links.
