Felicia Cosman had specialised in osteoporosis for 20 years, but when she had her first bone density scan her levels were lower than any patient she'd ever treated. In her years in the field she had learned that despite conventional treatment precedence, medical therapy for pre-menopausal women is NOT the answer. She argues that every woman should be following a universal, preventive programme, outlined in this book, but that not every woman needs medical therapy. The book tells you how to reduce your risks, showing the importance of diet and exercise and giving the full stories behind conventional medical therapy.
