I would like to express my thanks for the benefits experienced from recent consultations with Dr Sandra Cabot McRae specifically to address advice on bone density.

I come from a family with chronic osteoporosis on my mother’s side with four siblings, including two younger brothers, currently on Prolia injections.

At age 45 I was the first in my family to be diagnosed with osteopenia and started bio-identical hormone treatment which kept my bones fairly stable for 19 years.

In 2021 at age 64, a biennial bone density test showed my spine had deteriorated to osteoporosis (T-Score -2.6).  I contacted Dr Sandra Cabot McRae, who adjusted my bio-identical hormone treatment and recommended a program of the following vitamins and supplements to increase bone density:

Additionally, Dr Cabot suggested a gluten-free diet and recommended exercise. I commenced the Onero Exercise Program for Osteoporosis (developed by Griffith University, QLD), attending 2 classes weekly for weights, balance and core exercises, to this day.

After one year on Dr Cabot’s recommended program, the T-Score for bone density in my spine increased by 0.2, returning to osteopenia.  Doctor Cabot suggested a yearly bone density test and this year the T-Score increased a further 0.1.

I am grateful to Dr Sandra Cabot McRae for her evidence-based approach which has  successfully improved my bone density, and for providing advice on overall well being, promoting good health.

With thanks,
