Real Women. Real Numbers. Reviewed.
Case Studies: women over 50 whose DEXA, balance, and fracture risk moved in the right direction.
These are real OsteoStrong members from Austin and Georgetown whose follow-up DEXA scans, FRAX scores, or balance tests changed on the record. We publish findings only — never raw imagery — and every story links to the exact verification standard we hold ourselves to.
If you were just told "your bones are thinning," you are not alone. Every woman below sat where you are sitting. The numbers next to her name are what happened next.

I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis

I was just diagnosed with osteopenia
Osteopenia is the window most women are told to wait out. These members didn't wait.
My doctor recommended medication and I'm hesitant
Members who wanted a non-drug plan to pair with — or in some cases, help reduce — their physician's prescription. Always in consultation with the doctor; never instead of.
My fracture risk is high and I want to move the number
FRAX scores and fracture-risk trajectories that moved in the right direction, with real numbers.
I'm postmenopausal and want to get ahead of this
Members who came in trending the wrong direction and chose not to wait for the diagnosis to arrive.
- Nicole Danison Spine +12.8%, hip +10.5%, femoral neck +8.8% — no longer osteoporotic.
- Abby Hemphill Five years of weekly OsteoStrong sessions. Two follow-up DEXAs that kept going up.
- Deborah Byrd A decade-long slide in the wrong direction, reversed in just over two years.
- DeeDee Mongrain A Georgetown member whose follow-up DEXA looked unlike anything she expected.
- Dora One of the largest documented DEXA gains at OsteoStrong Austin.
- Angie The kind of DEXA result that reclassifies a diagnosis.
- Kaye The diagnosis she came in with is the diagnosis she walked out of.
- Ann St. Clair Spine, hip, and femur all moving in the right direction.
I have a history of falls and want to prevent the next one
Balance wins: women who came in scared of their own feet and left catching themselves on trips that used to send them to the hospital.
I had a fracture and want to prevent the next one
Members with a prior fragility fracture history who re-learned how to trust their own body.
I'm a cancer survivor with thinning bones
