Doering, D.D.S. • PLLC doeringfamilydental I am Asian and lactose intolerant. I'm worried about osteoporosis, what do you recommend? Thank you. - Maylee Dear Maylee, I am not an advocate for calcium supplementation unless it is from a food source, such as algae, if osteopenia or osteoporosis has been determined. Eating lots of organic greens will supply calcium. It is important to know your Vitamin D3 level as Vitamin D assists calcium into the bone. Also, magnesium is important for absorption of calcium. So, I do recommend additional magnesium if you are osteoporotic. Bone health is dependent upon proper hormone balance. Low progesterone or low testosterone will impede osteoblasts (new bone cells) which replace the old bone. If you find this is the case, taking "Myomin" helps raise progesterone and testosterone levels. Call for additional questions. I had an adrenal stress profile in December. The test shows I have abnormally high levels of cortisol throughout the day. The normal range on the test was 23nM to 42nM and mine was 43! Over the past four years, I've noticed changes in my body composition (especially weight gain around my middle despite an excellent diet and an exercise program). I've managed to reduce stress in my life and my current job is less stressful than my previous position, but I feel I need to take supplements to control my cortisol levels. - Gilbert Dear Gilbert, There are a number of excellent adrenal renewal and support products. Adrenal Health by Gaia and Adrenal Optimizer by Jarrow are excellent. You should take one upon wakening, wait 30 minutes before eating and take another at 3pm sharp! (the adrenals are on a biological clock) To assist in shedding your abdominal fat, I highly recommend "Myomin" which will help raise your testosterone by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which you are producing in your mid section fat.
