[00:40] About Kevin Ellis and His Osteoporosis Diagnosis
- Kevin’s father passed away two months after he was born.
- Later, Kevin ended up getting diagnosed with osteoporosis in his early 30s.
- Kevin was devastated about his diagnosis.
- At the time, Kevin had gut health issues, poor energy, wasn’t sleeping well, and had high stress.
- So, Kevin knew he had to address everything to fix his health.
- Finally, Kevin got the right plan for his health and bones.
[06:10] The Answer To Your Health Problems Won’t Come From The Pharmacy
- Kevin always thought that the answer to his health problems would come from a pharmacy or a doctor.
- Throughout his life, Kevin took sleeping pills, antidepressants, antibiotics, and countless other medications to help address the signs and symptoms of his condition.
- However, he never really received a complete resolution of those issues because he was just covering up the cause.
- Kevin just wanted to divest himself from thinking that the solution to his health was in a pill.
[09:20] The Importance of Gut Health For Your Overall Health
- Your body and your bones are like plants. To grow, they need nutrients and the right conditions.
- Most people focus on nutrients like salads and smoothies. They’re not considering the soil.
- Our gut is like the soil; it is where we absorb almost everything.
- To absorb anything, you need roots in your soil. Our roots are called villi. They're these tiny little hairlike projections that cover our small intestine.
- The villi will shuttle nutrients into your bloodstream so they can travel where they are needed in your body.
- When you have poor digestion, you won’t be able to break down food properly.
[13:45] Gut Health: Testing Your Stomach Acid and Other Options
- First, figure out where your stomach acid is; there are a few different tests that you can do.
- If you have low stomach acid, you can supplement with betaine HCl.
- You could also use some digestive enzymes to help break down your food.
- You need a digestive stool test to understand what is going on inside your microbiome.
- Then, you will work with a practitioner to build a protocol.

[15:50] Do I Have To Stop Drinking Coffee If I Have Gut Issues?
- Do I have to stop drinking coffee?
- The answer is no.
- The big concern is caffeine when it comes to coffee.
- Caffeine is going to vary slightly to increase calcium excretion.
- Most people don’t need to avoid coffee. Instead, drink less.
- If you've got caffeine intakes greater than 300 milligrams a day, calcium excreted in the urine will increase.
[17:30] When Should I Get My First Bone Density Scan?
- The earlier, the better when it comes to getting your first bone density scan.
- Around 30 or 40 would be an excellent time to get your first scan.
- Get a scan now so you can understand where you are at.
- Maybe you will find out something that you can start addressing now.
- You can build bone strength at any age. It just gets more challenging as you get older.
[22:30] Finding A Functional Medicine Practitioner For Postmenopausal Women
- Primary osteoporosis is typically related to the decrease in estrogen in postmenopausal women.
- When estrogen levels decrease as they do during menopause, it's going to cause an increase in the activity level of cells that break down bone.
- You need to have conversations with a functional medicine practitioner or a naturopathic physician to determine if hormones will be right for you.
- Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy could be the right choice.
[28:00] Spinach and Kale Could Be Causing Digestive Problems
- Oxalates are an antinutrient.
- Antinutrients can cause problems for people who have digestive issues.
- People eat a lot of spinach. If you can’t break down the oxalates, you will have some issues.
- Instead, you should eat arugula; it is super low in oxalates.
[30:10] Why Kevin Is A Massive Fan of Coconut Oil
- Coconut oil is good for energy, weight, brain function, heart health, memory, skin, hair, and teeth.
- Coconut oil can be helpful in the protection against bone loss.
- Plus, it’s great because it is full of MCT; they go straight to the liver.
- Lastly, coconut oil has antimicrobial effects.
[37:40] The Importance of Having A Strategy When It Comes To Bone Health
- If you rely on a single supplement, you may lose more bone because you didn’t have a strategy.
- Kevin will develop a strategy that addresses root cause issues.
- You have to get to the underlying issue!
