How Does an Integrative Doctor Test and Treat Osteoporosis? With Kim Millman, MD
When faced with the diagnosis of Osteoporosis, the initial reaction is often fear and uncertainty. The thought of what comes next can be overwhelming. However, hope comes from understanding the disease and its treatment. This knowledge, coupled with the expertise and holistic approach of integrative doctors like Dr. Kim Millman of The Millman Clinic, empowers us to take control of our health.
This enlightening episode delves into the unique methods that set integrative doctors apart from traditional practitioners who only treat symptoms. Dr. Kim Millman presents four compelling case studies of post-menopausal women diagnosed with Osteoporosis at different stages of life. These case studies are crucial in understanding the disease and its treatment, and each patient had additional health conditions that may or may not directly impact their Osteoporosis healing journey.
Discover the essential tests and treatment protocols for each participant and witness the profound impact of Dr. Millman's innovative healing protocol that serves as a beacon of hope for all of us.
Uncover a path to healthier bones and a brighter future in today's Happy Bones, Happy Life podcast episode!

    Beef, eggs, butter. That and other animal based foods are the most important and should the biggest components of your diet. No gluten, legumes, seed oils, processesed foods, white potatoes (nightshade), or added sugar. Its not what you add its what you remove from your diet that matters, and how much animal based protien and fat you are getting.

      Hi! Yes- if you are over 40 - that number can indicate hyperparathyroidism. I would recommend getting this further evaluated.I would listen to this podcast with Dr. Deva Boone ( a parathyroid surgeon) - ua-cam.com/video/JrM4E2fuT0g/v-deo.html . Dr. Boone has a great tool to put your blood work values in and help assess your risk of parathyroid disease. www.southwestparathyroid.com/app - . After each summit I had - 20 people found out they had hyperparathyroid disease and that was a major root cause of their osteoporosis and bone loss. The good news is that this can be corrected and bone loss from this cause stops.

    That's very interesting, thank you. I was told by my rheumatologist yesterday that the increase in my TBS score over 14 months was not of any significance. My DEXA had deteriorated by 4.9% in that timeframe. Hormones were not an option and I should take bisphosphonates or "the tension between her and I" won't improve!!

    I havent heard many doctors ever talk about PROGESTERONE. Having enough Progesterone without any man made progestins ( like MPA or levonogestrel) is ABSOLUTE KEY to building strong bones and reversing osteopenia and osteoporosis. What do MPA or levonogestrel progestins do that is damaging? They are tenacious blockers of Progesterone receptors including the health and number of osteoblast cells which are the bone building cells. So these man made progestins do not help a woman build good bones even if she takes progesterone. Progestins can actually make bone density even worse. REMEMBER: PROGESTERONE BLOOD LEVELS FALL BY UP TO 80% IN MOST WOMEN THE CLOSER SHE GETS TO MENOPAUSE AND AFTERWARD. WITH ENOUGH PROGESTERONE; DEXA SCORES COULD IMPROVE BY +0.50 TO 0.75 PER YEAR ASSUMING ADEQUATE NUTRITION AND HIGH ENOUGH VIT D3 AND K2

    As soon as I heard him quote the government dietary fat guidelines as a valid percentage to follow, I stopped watching the video. There's zero human clinical trials behind the lower fat mostly carbohydrates seed oils dietary guidelines. It was a wild guess, at best. That level of carbohydrates causes extreme chronic oxidative stress & you're not going to effectively counter that level of starch/sugar/seed oils. They'll get diabetes & more problems even if they have strong bones from his amazing supplement product.

    I did a home sleep apnea test that came back moderate. The pulmonary doctor put me on CPAP. I’m getting less sleep now because of the noise of the machine, the weight of something on my face, the moisture inside the nasal pillow, and the different sensations, like a tickle, inside the pillow. The mask gives me a headache too. I’m on my second mask type and it’s been since 5/23. I’m an extremely light sleeper! I’m hoping that somehow I will adjust to all the obstacles that have messed up my sleep.
