The questions a scan result leaves unanswered
A DEXA scan result or a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis raises practical questions that a GP appointment rarely has time to answer in full:
-
How bone health works, explained in everyday language
-
What your test results mean for your bone health
-
Whether your diet is working with or against your medication
-
Which changes are worth making, with the least disruption to daily life
The Bone Health Practice, a specialist osteoporosis nutritional therapy clinic, supports you through those decisions by reviewing your scan result, health history, medication, diet and daily routine together. We then turn those details into a structured plan you can act on between medical appointments.
If you want to understand where nutritional therapy fits in osteoporosis care, this page explains what it focuses on and how it supports decisions alongside your medical treatment.
Who this service is for
Where you are in the process shapes what support looks like.
/ DIAGNOSIS /
Diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis
You have had a scan result in the last few months and want to understand what your nutrition should look like from here.
/ EARLY CONCERN /
Borderline bone density or an earlier concern
Your scan came back borderline, or you have been told your bone density is lower than expected without a formal diagnosis.
/ PREVENTION /
Family history or approaching menopause
Osteoporosis runs in your family, or you are approaching menopause, and want to know which nutrition changes to make now.
Specialist osteoporosis nutrition practice
My practice focuses entirely on bone health and osteoporosis. Consultations are built around your medical history, current test results, and any treatment already in place, with ongoing check-ins to adjust the plan as your situation develops.
For you, this means:
One-to-one consultations tailored to your case
Ongoing guidance with check-ins as needed
Online, scheduled around your availability
Confidence in your nutrition decisions
Guidance based on your scan results, blood markers, and medical history
Build more sustainable eating habits
Practical changes that account for what is realistic in your diet and daily routine.

Recommendations aligned with your existing treatment and current medication
A plan that fits how you actually eat
Guidance specific enough to act on without turning every meal into a decision
What we work on together
Consultations cover the specific factors that influence bone density in your case: what you eat, how well you absorb key nutrients, what your blood markers show, and how your nutrition sits alongside any medication or existing conditions
