Bone Health & Osteoporosis
bone & muscle health
Strengthen muscle and bone and prevent osteoporosis and osteopenia
Dr. Booth, DC, AFMC specializes in personalized, data-driven functional medicine protocols for patients with a suspected or confirmed autoimmunity diagnosis.
As we age, we naturally begin to lose muscle and bone; the severity of which can be impacted by lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition to osteoporosis and disease, medications like GLP-1s, and expected physiological changes like menopause. We won’t wait for discouraging DEXA Scan results or a fracture. By taking a proactive, multifaceted approach we are able to prevent bone loss through exercise, nutrition, supplementation, and adequate testing.
The Approach
Treatment for the entire body
No matter the diagnosis, functional medicine principles encourage us to step back and examine the interconnected systems of the entire body. Once we identify the root cause of your symptoms and disease, we are able to support your body’s innate ability to heal itself through nutrition, supplements and herbs, and lifestyle choices. We layer this support on top of Western medicine modalities and testing to provide more complete care.
