Celeb*tchy grrls know their vitamin D and Osteoporosis

Celeb*tchy (ok... where I lurk for laughs...): Gwyneth Paltrow has vitamin D deficiency may develop osteoporosis


Gwen, get some:

1. vitamin D 5000 IU daily in the morning
2. sunshine sans sunscreen

3. vitamin K2 100mcg daily (and/or fermented foods, dairy, CLO)

4. Magnesium (citrate, malate, taurate (since you don't eat much MEAT), chelate, etc) 500-1000mg daily or more

5. BONE BROTH w/grassfed bones + REAL FOOD + FAT D*MN IT

6. Worried, melanoma? Don't. Consume real food/antioxidants proven to prevent UV damage (selenium, iodine, NAC (glutathione presursor), vitamin C + natural E tocopherol, proanthocyanidins (wine/grape seed), pycnogenol, thyroid, maca, plant/animal polyphenols, etc)

7. repeat bone mineral density (BMD) in 2-3 yrs -- will be improved...?normal probably

8. avoid bisphosphonates which make a brittle bone matrix, not crosslinked correctly (like an unstable dense house on sand) -- which are drugs highly linked to spontaneous fractures, poor gum/bone healing, jaw osteonecrosis, inflammation and atrial fibrillation (=strokes/mortality/lifelong-warfarin/etc)
9. lower your serum insulin (basal, postprandial)

10. minerals + hormones: pregnancy leaches minerals and bone-protective hormones (omega-3, vitamin D) vertically to the baby unless mom is totally replete. Birth control especially progestins (ALL) lower bone mineral density compared with placebo (Depo-Provera, the worse, because injected; pellets and IUD and orals, TOTALLY bone degrading)

***Comments crack me up from: cheekemunkey, MightyMouse (no it's not me, I'd be batgrrrl) *haa aha*

Sounds like evo/paleo hunter-gatherer grrrrls.


Peter initiated... *haa*



Hyperinsulinemia and Metabolic Syndrome (which is a high insulin syndrome) are highly associated with bone degradation, bone fractures and osteoporosis. Consider also a grain-free, soy-free, lower carbohydrate diet... to prevent trigging all that insulin that grows inflammatory belly fat which breaks down bone.



Osteoporosis Resources:

o The Standard, Guilliam PhD

o Vitamin D 5000 IU daily normalizes 25OHD PTH in 12 months and improves BMD as good/better than a bisphosphonate (thanxxx Neo!)

Healthy bones [and clear arteries without calcifications, see Rotterdam and HERE] require as evident in this recent study:
--25OHD ~50 ng/ml
--PTH < 20 pg/ml

--[optimal thyroid (TSH FT4 FT3 rT3) -- not discussed, important and ultimately vital for the intimately inter-related network of endocrine organs: parathyroid, thyroid, kidneys, adipose, gonads, marrow... B-O-N-E-S ]
