Hearing 'osteoporosis' can feel like a verdict. It wasn't for Nicole, and it doesn't have to be for you.

Before OsteoStrong

Nicole is an Austin woman in her 60s who had been living with an osteoporosis diagnosis. Like many women, she didn't love the idea of being dependent on medication forever and didn't know what else she could actually do to move her DEXA in the right direction.

The diagnosis, and what it felt like

The word 'osteoporosis' is the kind of diagnosis that sits on your shoulders. It reframes how you think about stairs, curbs, grandkids, and travel. Nicole wanted proof that something was working before she accepted the verdict.

What she tried — and why she chose OsteoStrong

Nicole looked for options beyond 'take the pill and hope.' Most exercise programs weren't built for someone trying to measurably rebuild bone. OsteoStrong was different because it had a way to measure whether the work was actually doing anything.

Why OsteoStrong can say what we say.

More than 100 Austin-area physicians refer patients to OsteoStrong. 8 out of 10 members who follow the weekly protocol see measurable bone density improvements on follow-up DEXA.

The plan she followed

  1. Book a free Bone Health Roadmap Call. Fifteen minutes by phone or Zoom. We read your DEXA with you and listen. No pressure.
  2. Come in for a guided first session. A certified coach walks you through four supported devices in street clothes. Never rushed, never unsafe.
  3. Track your force output week after week. Fifteen minutes, once a week. Your numbers rise. Your balance returns. Your next DEXA tells the real story.

The weekly rhythm

For three years — 'three years and three years in one month' — Nicole came in weekly. After fifteen months she asked for a follow-up DEXA, not to prove OsteoStrong worked, but to see whether it really did.

The outcome

Her spine was no longer osteoporotic. Her spine density had improved by 12.8%, her hip by 10.5%, and her femoral neck by 8.8%.

My name is Nicole Danison and I've been coming to OsteoStrong for three years and three years in one month, I guess. After 15 months I decided I should get a bone density test done to see whether it was really working. To my surprise, I found out that my spine no longer was osteoporotic. I improved my bone density by 12.8%, and my hip had improved by 10.5%, and the femoral neck had improved by 8.8%. So anyway, I can highly recommend OsteoStrong for helping me to overcome the osteoporosis. Thank you very much.

What was at stake if she hadn't acted.

What doing nothing looked like
  • Watching her bones thin year after year while waiting for a fracture
  • Accepting that 'postmenopausal and osteoporotic' meant life had to shrink
  • Relying on medication as the only path forward
