Did you know your bone health is directly connected to your brain health? Emerging research shows that osteoporosis and cognitive decline share many of the same risk factors and that stronger bones may help reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s.

Today, I interview Kevin Ellis, “The Bone Coach”, to uncover the surprising link between osteoporosis, gut health, and cognitive function. We break down the key nutrients for bone strength, why weight-bearing exercise is critical, and how chronic stress accelerates both bone loss and brain aging.

Kevin shares actionable strategies to build stronger bones, prevent fractures, and support long-term brain health. If you’re looking for ways to protect both your mind and body as you age, this episode is a must-listen!

“Sometimes, you just try things and they don't work out. You put all your faith into it and you just hope it's gonna work and it doesn't...Be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself, and if you approach things with curiosity instead of expectation, your disappointment will disappear.”

~ Kevin Ellis
