When most people think “bone health,” they think calcium… maybe a chewable tablet or a glass of milk.

In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, our dietitians Melanie and Britni explain why bone is actually more protein than calcium, why the form of calcium matters, and why healthy fats and vitamin D + K2 are just as critical as the mineral itself.

We share a mini bone-health reset and the story of how Melanie went from severe osteoporosis to almost normal bone density using real food, movement, and targeted supplements.

A cavity is not a fluoride deficiency. 🦷

Think of your mouth as a mineral dashboard for your whole body. If you’re seeing “mystery cavities” — one child with lots while the others have none, decay popping up during pregnancy or nursing, or new cavities along the gumline even though you brush and floss — that’s often a sign your mineral status and absorption need attention, not just your brushing routine.

Here’s what’s really going on 👇

When your body is short on minerals, it will always prioritize your heart, brain, and vital organs over your teeth.

Minerals get pulled out of your teeth, creating tiny weak spots.

Bacteria move in, make more acid, and those weak spots turn into cavities.

Fluoride was designed to make teeth more resistant to acid, but it doesn’t fix the root problem:
👉 Why are minerals leaving the tooth in the first place?

If you want to understand how your teeth and gums can act as a powerful window into your overall health, listen to our Dishing Up Nutrition episode with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

You do not have to love milk to meet your calcium needs. 🥛❌

Real-food all-stars like sardines, canned salmon with the bones, leafy greens, broccoli, chia seeds, tahini, almonds & blackstrap molasses can add up quickly to support strong, healthy bones. Think crunchy salads with broccoli and almonds, creamy tahini dressings over kale, or a simple salmon salad made with canned salmon (bones included!) for an easy calcium boost at lunch or dinner.

Not sure which calcium supplement is right for you? 🤔🦴

Think of calcium supplements as back-up for your plate, not a replacement for real food like leafy greens, broccoli, almonds, and canned salmon with the bones. Here’s a quick guide to help you match your needs:

💪 Key Osteo Plus – Great if you’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis and want a comprehensive bone-support formula. It combines calcium with vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium + other key nutrients in easy AM/PM packets.

➕ Activated Calcium – A simple add-on if you’re already taking vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium, and just need a well-absorbed calcium boost.

🧘‍♀️ Activated Cal-Mag – Ideal if you want both calcium and magnesium together, plus vitamin D3 and phosphorus to support bone mineral density, bone remodeling, and muscle function.

🍫 Activated Chewable Calcium – Perfect if you only need a smaller amount of calcium or don’t love swallowing pills. It delivers a gentle 300 mg in 3 chocolate-flavored chewables using a highly absorbable form of calcium, plus a little magnesium and vitamin D.

And because strong bones are about more than supplements…

What if the healthiest part of your salad was actually…the dressing? 🥗✨

You don’t need a fancy recipe or a long ingredient list to make it happen. In fact, you can shake up a delicious, real-food dressing in about 30 seconds with our simple formula: 2 parts healthy fat + 1 part acid + your favorite flavors. Think extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil, a splash of lemon or vinegar, and a little garlic, herbs, or mustard. That’s it.

Once you learn this basic ratio, you can stop stressing over sketchy store-bought bottles with damaged oils, added sugars, and mystery ingredients—and start drizzling something that actually supports your health and makes those veggies crave-worthy. 🌿

If you’ve ever felt like salads are “rabbit food” or you’re bored of the same old bottle in your fridge, this is your sign to upgrade. 🕵️‍♀️💚

That quote is heavy — and it’s exactly why we’re talking about bones now, not “someday.”

Your bones aren’t just a number on a scan. They’re what let you:
• get up off the floor or the toilet on your own
• carry groceries, grandkids, and suitcases
• stay active, mobile, and independent as you age

In our upcoming 28-DayBone Health Challenge, we’ll focus on simple, doable habits that actually feed your bones: real-food protein, collagen support, and everyday routines you can stick with — not perfection, not restriction.

If that quote made you pause, take it as your nudge. Your bones are worth protecting. 💪🦴

GLP-1 medications can change how hungry you feel, but they don’t change what your body needs.

When appetite drops, it’s easy to accidentally under-eat protein, veggies, and healthy fats — and that can mean: muscle loss, lower bone density, more constipation, fatigue, and a slower metabolism over time.

If you’re using one of these medications, nutrition support matters more, not less. Making every bite count is key to protecting your long-term health, not just the number on the scale.

Want help building GLP-1–friendly, real-food meals? Our dietitians work with clients on and off these meds every day.
