Be Bone Strong. Because strong bones don’t happen by accident.
Of everything I’ve learned from fifteen years of interviewing the world’s top health experts, here’s the fact that changed my life the most: your bones are living tissue, and what you do — starting today — determines whether they carry you strong through the decades ahead. That’s why bone health isn’t just a topic I cover. It’s the cause I work for.

BE BONE STRONG WALKING CLUBS
Don’t run? Walk
You don’t need to run a marathon to build stronger bones. You just need to keep moving.
That’s why I launched the Be Bone Strong Walking Clubs—free community walking groups that combine bone-building exercise with friendship and support. What started in Virginia Beach is growing across the country.
Here’s the best part: you can start one. The Be Bone Strong Walking Club Playbook gives you everything — how to register your club, where to walk, how to grow it, and how to keep it going.
THE FACTS ABOUT BONE HEALTH
10 Million Americans have osteoporosis and another
44 million have low bone density.
1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis — and up to 1 in 4 men will, too.
For women, osteoporosis-related fractures strike more often than heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer combined.
A combined 2 million broken bones every year are caused by this disease, and it’s largely preventable.
Scary numbers — with a hopeful truth behind them: bone loss can be slowed, strength can be built, and it is never too late to start. That’s the whole point of Be Bone Strong.
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation is where the science, screening guidance, and support live. Explore everything they do at BHOF.
