#166 Is Your Gut Causing Bone Loss? What Most Osteoporosis Plans Miss w/ Steven Wright + BoneCoach™ Osteoporosis & Osteopenia

Still losing bone even though you’re taking calcium?

Struggling with bloating, IBS, or digestive issues alongside osteoporosis?

Wondering if your gut could be quietly impacting your bone density?

Then this episode is for you.

I sat down with gut health specialist and HealthyGut.com founder Steven Wright, who overcame severe IBS after years of navigating both conventional and alternative medicine, and we explored the connection between gut health and bone remodeling.

We discuss how poor digestion, low stomach acid, microbiome imbalance, chronic inflammation, and low levels of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate may contribute to bone loss, and the foundational steps that may help restore balance.
