Episode Summary
What does your gut have to do with osteoporosis? More than you might think.
In this episode, Debi Robinson welcomes functional medicine pharmacist Dennis Wong to explore the critical connection between digestion, nutrient absorption, chronic stress, and bone health. Together, they explain why healthy bones depend on far more than calcium alone and why optimizing digestion may be one of the most important steps in supporting healthy aging.
They also discuss stomach acid, digestive enzymes, elimination, neurotransmitters, and practical lifestyle habits that help your body absorb and use the nutrients needed for strong bones.
