Know Your Bone Health Now—Protect Your Mobility and Your Life
Bones are living tissue. They’re constantly breaking down and rebuilding. If breakdown wins, bones thin and fracture risk rises—often without symptoms until something snaps.
Why this matters
- Hip fractures are serious. They can steal independence and shorten lifespan.
- You can lower your risk by knowing your numbers and taking action early.
Step 1: Measure Bone Breakdown with the CTX Test
- What it is: A simple fasting morning blood test that measures how fast your bones are being broken down.
- Why it helps: High CTX = higher bone loss. Tracking it lets us see if your plan is working now, not years later.
- Great for: Women in perimenopause/menopause, men over 50, anyone with low vitamin D, long-term steroid use, thyroid issues, or a family history of osteoporosis.
Step 2: Keep Vitamin D in the Sweet Spot
- Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium and supports the cells that build bone.
- We’ll check your level and personalize a safe dose for you.
Special Offer: Get 50% off our Vitamin D oral replacement when you complete a CTX test with us.
Step 3: Ask About Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- For appropriate patients, HRT can help preserve bone by slowing bone breakdown after menopause.
- It’s not for everyone—we review your history, goals, and risks to decide together.
Your Action Plan (takes minutes)
- Book your CTX test (fasting, morning).
- Review results with our team—get a clear plan.
- Start your bone-strong routine: Vitamin D, protein, resistance training, smart hormones when appropriate.
- Recheck CTX to confirm your plan is working.
Don’t wait to break a hip.
Reduce your risk now and protect your independence.
