Are Vegans Doomed To Get Osteoporosis?

Sym Blanchard is a 70-year-old thru-hiker who completed America's Triple Crown hike in 2023! He's section-hiked all the sections of the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail!

Sym Blanchard has been a vegan for the last 10 years. He just got diagnosed with osteoporosis. 

Although I still encourage veganism and vegetarianism, his tale emphasizes the importance of carefully watching your nutrition.
