Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. The osteoporosis book a physician wrote after her own diagnosis, and the one she wishes someone had handed her on day one.When Dr. Lisa Pocius was diagnosed with osteoporosis, she did what any physician would do: she went looking for a clear, evidence-based guide written for patients. She couldn't find one. The materials available were either too clinical to be useful, too alarmist to be trusted, or too vague to act on.So she wrote the book herself.Osteoporosis: The Book I Wish I'd Had When I Was Diagnosed is the definitive patient guide to understanding your bones, your diagnosis, and your options, from a family physician who has lived on both sides of the exam room. It is calm where other books are frightening, specific where others are general, and honest about what we know, what we don't, and what you can actually do starting today.Inside, you'll learn: How to read your DEXA scan and what your T-score and Z-score actually meanHow fracture risk is calculated, including FRAX and the newer FRAXplus tool that many clinicians aren't yet familiar with, and how to bring it up with your doctorWhat a Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) and Vertebral Fracture Assessment (VFA) add to a standard bone density testThe nutrition that genuinely supports bone health, including calcium, vitamin D, protein, and the supplements worth taking (and the ones that aren't)Exercise that builds bone safely, including weight-bearing and resistance training adapted for people who already have low bone densityA clear-eyed walkthrough of every major osteoporosis medication, including bisphosphonates, denosumab, romosozumab, teriparatide, abaloparatide, and hormone therapy, with how they work, who they're for, side effects, and how long to stay on themFall prevention strategies that actually reduce fracturesHow to talk with your clinician, get a second opinion, and advocate for the care you deserveThe emotional side of diagnosis: fear, identity, and rebuilding confidence in your own bodyWho this book is for: Women and men newly diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Anyone with a family history of fracture or low bone density. Adults over 50 who want to protect their bones before a diagnosis forces the conversation. Caregivers, daughters, and partners who want to understand what their loved one is facing. And clinicians who want a resource they can confidently put in a patient's hands.Why this book is different: Most osteoporosis books are written either by clinicians who have never been patients, or by patients without the medical training to separate good evidence from marketing. Dr. Pocius is both. She brings a physician's command of the research, current through 2026 and including the latest guidelines and emerging fracture-risk tools, together with the lived experience of receiving the diagnosis, making the treatment decisions, and rebuilding her sense of strength.The result is a guide that respects your intelligence, refuses to scare you, and gives you a concrete plan for a stronger future.About the author: Lisa Pocius, MD, is a family physician and the author and editor of mybone.health, an evidence-based resource for people living with osteoporosis. A doctor's diagnosis. A patient's journey. The definitive guide to understanding osteoporosis and rebuilding your life and bones - with authority, empathy, and a concrete plan for a stronger future.
