What if chronic inflammation, mold exposure, or unresolved emotional stress were silently accelerating osteoporosis or osteopenia?

In this eye-opening episode, functional bone health expert Debi Robinson sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann, a leading functional MD and environmental medicine specialist, to uncover the hidden triggers behind bone loss that most women never hear about.

Dr. McCann explains how mast cell activation (MCAS), mold toxicity, and environmental chemicals can weaken bones, disrupt hormones, and fuel chronic inflammation. Together, she and Debi explore the deeper terrain of bone health—how your immune system, nervous system, and even emotional experiences shape your risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia.

This episode goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D. It’s about understanding the environmental, biochemical, and emotional roots of bone loss so you can build strong, resilient bones for life.


What You’ll Learn

  • How mast cell activation (MCAS) contributes to inflammation that accelerates bone loss
  • The link between mold exposure, toxins, and the development of osteoporosis or osteopenia
  • Why your symptoms may be communication, not malfunction, especially when it comes to bone health
  • How emotional stress, trauma, and dysregulation of the nervous system can weaken bones
  • Practical, actionable ways to reduce toxic load and support bone density
  • How to create balance physically, emotionally, and energetically to strengthen your bones from the inside out


Action Steps

  • Audit your environment: Look for hidden mold, water damage, or chemical exposures that may be fueling inflammation and bone loss.
  • Clean up your kitchen: Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic to reduce toxin exposure that affects bone health.
  • Hydrate and nourish: Drink filtered water and build meals around whole, anti-inflammatory foods to support osteoporosis and osteopenia.
  • Reduce daily toxic load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic bottles, and harsh cleaners that may disrupt hormones and bone density.
  • Calm your stress response: Use breathwork, meditation, or gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system and protect your bones.
  • Seek functional support: Work with a practitioner if you suspect mold toxicity, MCAS, or chronic inflammation impacting your bones.

Debi's Takeaway

Bone health is about much more than nutrients—it’s about your environment, your stress levels, and how your body communicates with you.

As Dr. McCann reminds us, inflammation, toxins, and emotional stress can erode bone strength just as powerfully as nutritional deficiencies. When you listen to your body, address hidden triggers, and create safety in your inner world, your bones can finally begin to rebuild.

Your body isn’t failing—it’s speaking. The more you listen, the stronger your bones can become.
