Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video about Powerful Practitioner Pearls for Bone Health. You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.
Here are some of the things we’ll be discussing:

Omg thank you so much tracy for sharing your knowledge. I enjoyed how you brought all the interconnectedness between bone health, immune system, endocrine and hematologic system and effects of supplements we prescribe to CV system due to lack of the need knowledge. Truely inspired to dive deeper.
Thank u.
My take home from the talk was to look at blood markers especially alkaline phosphatase levels. Zinc and magnesium and B12 have important roles in bone and immune health.
Thankyou. Great presentation
Its amazing how much I learn from Tracey’s pearls in just one hour.
It was fascinating to hear the connection how inflammatory cytokines trigger bones to release nutrients on purpose. Also helpful to understand how calcium by itself can actually be problematic if not assisted by other nutrients that ensure it gets into bone.
Thank you Tracey!

The relationship between inflammatory cytokines and osteoclast/osteoblast activity was completely new to me and very relevant for my practice. It really drives home why it’s so important to assess & quell gut inflammation as part of any bone building program.
I loved to know about the fact that bone loss is an immune process. Powerful to know. Thank you always Tracy!
This was an awesome topic, and I learned so much! Something basic that is a good reminder to me is the problem of excessive calcium and the effect on many areas of the body. For example, effect on the pineal gland which can cause problems with melatonin levels and poor sleep. Food based calcium is best, but if supplement needed, the more bioavailable form is calcium citrate.
Thanks for the informative lecture!
I’ m a PA. As you describe, bone health is more complicated than we often think and requires balance like most things in the body. Bone health (like all health) starts in the gut. Probably the most interesting thing that stood out to me in this lecture is that bone flexibility is important, not just density, which is what we focus on in allopathic medicine. Keeping bones flexible is our job.
Hi, I enjoyed your webinar today! I was surprised to find out that there is fat in bone and that osteoclasts are derived from monocytes and additionally, that they respond to inflammation by breaking down bone for use in the immune response!
Inflammation causes a shift to increased levels of osteoclasts. The body breaks down bone to free up calcium(T-regulatory cells and T helper cells need a surge of calcium to function) and phosphorus(required to support increased ATP and the sympathetic nervous system mode) and in so doing promote survival.
I was inspired by the revelation of meditation as helpful to bone health and dis-ease. I did not know this!
Always amazed by interconnectedness of the body…especially how low stomach acid can start the cascade. Also suprising is the lead stored in bone issue…Wow!
I had no idea that chronic inflammation and LPS could promote bone dis-ease! It makes perfect sense however, as Tracy broke it down. NO idea that it was part of immune health as well. Bone is broken down to have available calcium and phosphorus to support TP to support SNS mode, need more calcium for T and T reg cells. Im in 202, and was just able to make so many connection. So grateful.
Thank you! I loved the pearl that our body will break down bone during high stress in order to fuel the flight or fight response. So powerful!!
One key insight I received was the necessity for mitigating the effects of long-term steroid use. I have been on Prednisone for the last 12 months and have great concern.
So interested in learning more about the progesterone decline which can decline osteoblasts. Thanks for bringing this point forward. Also the thyroid issues yes a full panel is needed. Can 3rd party labs do these for patients?
so much good information. so much more to learn.
I’m blown away by the interconnectedness of inflammation and bone loss, which means that so many root causes of inflammation can also be root causes of bone loss. I also was so interested to learn that osteoclasts are derived from the immune system and break down bone on purpose as part of cleaning up.
Clients simply not exercising enough could lead to falling. Simple reasoning.
Thank you for the wonderful FB live about bones health.
My favorite tip is about the role of inflammation in the loss of bone density and that inflammatory cytokines shift the balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. The body breaks down bones on purpose as a response to inflammation, to free calcium and phosphorus to help body stay alive while fighting in a SNS state.

Bones need to be FLEXIBLE too!!
The idea of fatty bone was not shocking but a new one. I have also really enjoyed this sneak peak into the pearls and can’t wait for the deep dive! I am super interested in the cortisol connection especially on the long term eventual drop to low cortisol and how we can support clients that have been dealing with stress for so long that it their cortisol curve is flat!
