When to see a dietitian for your bone health
If you’ve been diagnosed with low bone density (osteopenia or osteoporosis), you
may be wondering if you need to see a dietitian as well because you’ve already been put on a medication to help improve your bone density or maybe told to just
monitor your bone density in another 2 years at your next DEXA scan if the diagnosis was osteopenia.
This is exactly the time to see a dietitian!
If you’re on a medication for your bone health, including a nutrition and exercise
plan alongside it can help you build your bone density more efficiently.
If you have been told you have osteopaenia and to monitor your bone density in 2
years, this is the time to really focus on an appropriate nutrition and exercise plan to build your bones back up.
A dietitian can help turn your bone density results into a plan to help you build up
your bones by helping you make better food choices that contain enough protein,
calcium and other nutrients for your bone health, and also review your supplements to make sure they are working to support your bone health.
