Hope and Happy New Year!

It was a perfect first day to a new year here in New England...absolutely beautiful. The snow was crisp and the skiing exhilarating. I hope you were all able to enjoy the day.

As founder of OsteoNaturals, and someone who has personally battled osteoporosis, I would like to offer you encouragement. And, most of all, hope. I try to live by example and in doing so, maybe, just maybe, I can show you that there truly is hope. So even if you are experiencing fractures and pain...your future can be better.

Struggling with osteoporosis can be difficult, to say the least. I know how dark some of those days can be when that constant fear of breaking a bone just doesn't go away, or that pain in your back from the latest compression fracture is unrelenting, or your most recent DXA scores come back worse than the ones before. OH MY GOD...IS THAT HARD TO DEAL WITH! But I need to tell you...you can turn it around...you can improve...you can get stronger. I know because I did it. It may take some time but you can do it. You just have to stick with it...stick with your healthy diet, your supplements, your exercise. I've given you the guide (The Whole-Body Approach to Osteoporosis), and the supplements (OsteoNaturals), so now it is up to you. Strive each day...and you will eventually succeed.

Now that my skeleton is strong again, I'm so thankful that I can do all the things I do. I'm also thankful that I can offer you hope...hope that is real. You see, it wasn't too many years ago that skiing would have been out of the question for me. Back then I would break a bone with only the slightest of pressure against my body...even just leaning up against a wall could break my ribs. But those dark days are over (thank goodness because I fell three times today!). And as I can now say, dark days lead to brighter ones if you keep on fighting. Don't give up. Go for it...make 2013 your year to better health. Happy New Year to you all.
