Excellent book!

i bought this book upon learning that I had osteopenia and found it to be a helpful resource. It helped me to change my lifestyle in hopes of ridding myself of osteopenia. I highly recommend it!

very informative book

I have read a few of Dr. McIlwain's books over the years and have found them all to be so informative. I bought this book after my mom was diagnosed with osteoporosis so that I could learn about preventing it for myself. It is so easy to read and explained everything I needed to know in great detail. My bone density has improved after taking his suggestions!

Great book on osteopenia!

This book is a must read for all mom's and for women that want to prevent osteopenia and osteoporosis. The book walks you through the steps of preventing a disease that many assume just happens. I have completely changed our diet. Easy to follow and good information.

Great Information on Osteopenia

I had never even heard the term osteopenia until my doctor informed me I had it. I immediately purchased this book, received it, and read it cover to cover. I then felt I knew a great deal on the condition.
