I highly recommend.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, New York Times bestselling author Includes over 100 recipes, worksheets, and tools to help create a personal nutritional plan! Drugs that claim to prevent or redress bone loss can actually cause bones to crumble and break. Calcium supplements, fortified processed food, and pasteurized dairy don’t work because the calcium in them doesn’t reach our bones. It’s a grim picture, but The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook can help. Coauthors Dr. Laura Kelly and Helen Bryman Kelly, daughter and mother, have a firm grasp on the disciplines concerned with bone health, including nutrient absorption and bone metabolism. They offer readers a natural, effective, and safe approach to conserving bone mass and building healthy bones by creating a personalized nutrition plan that includes eating the right foods in the right combinations. The authors’ quest for a natural, effective, safe way to prevent and treat bone loss began after 20 years of frustration, during which Helen tried supplements and several popular dietary approaches to arrest bone loss, only to see her bones continue to deteriorate year by year. Drawing on her knowledge of metabolic science and a rigorous examination of current research, Laura created a unique diet-based approach to bone health that allowed Helen’s body to absorb the nutrients that are naturally present in whole foods. Helen has been following her personal nutrition plan for four years and has stopped her bone loss completely—without taking any pharmaceuticals. Part One of the book begins with a primer on bone metabolism, including the roles of individual vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that can help build strong bones. Building on this knowledge and more, the authors provide a framework and worksheets so readers can use the recipes and work with their doctors to create their personal nutrition plan for skeletal health. The book includes more than 100 bone-health recipes ranging from sauces and small plates to soups, salads, and main dishes, drinks and desserts. The authors also explain how to make staple ingredients such as ghee and bone health vinegar and how to grow shiitake mushrooms—an important source of vitamin D. Readers can count on their personal nutrition plans and the Kellys’ recipes to provide food that helps calcium reach, and potentially strengthen, their bones.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781603586245","publication_date":"20160712","publisher":"Rizzoli","slug":"the-healthy-bones-nutrition-plan-and-cookbook","subtitle":"How to Prepare and Combine Whole Foods to Prevent and Treat Osteoporosis Naturally","title":"The Healthy Bones Nutrition Plan and Cookbook"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"HEA039100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Musculoskeletal Disorders","score":0.8345,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HEA039080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Heart Disease","score":0.7905,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HEA039090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Immune System Disorders","score":0.7825,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"HEA039100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Musculoskeletal Disorders","score":0.8345,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HEA039080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Heart Disease","score":0.7905,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HEA039090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Immune System Disorders","score":0.7825,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HEA006000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Diet Plans","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HEA017000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Health & Wellness","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HEA039100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Musculoskeletal Disorders","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Musculoskeletal Disorders","score":0.8345,"slug":"musculoskeletal-disorders"},{"label":"Heart Disease","score":0.7905,"slug":"heart-disease"},{"label":"Immune System Disorders","score":0.7825,"slug":"immune-system-disorders"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Musculoskeletal Disorders","Good for readers who enjoy Musculoskeletal Disorders and Heart Disease."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jocelyn Wittstein MD","Sydney Nitzkorski MS RD"],"book_id":"9781682689417","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781682689417.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":17.4315,"title":"The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781682689417"},{"authors":["Ann Crile Esselstyn","Jane Esselstyn"],"book_id":"9781583335581","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781583335581.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.9094,"title":"The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781583335581"},{"authors":["Joel Fuhrman M.D.","Joel Fuhrman"],"book_id":"9780062249364","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062249364.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.8939,"title":"The End of Heart Disease","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062249364"},{"authors":["America's Test Kitchen"],"book_id":"9781954210097","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781954210097.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.5103,"title":"The Complete Anti-inflammatory Cookbook","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781954210097"},{"authors":["Joel Fuhrman M.D.","Joel Fuhrman"],"book_id":"9780062080646","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062080646.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.4866,"title":"Super Immunity","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062080646"},{"authors":["Natasha Campbell-Mcbride MD"],"book_id":"9780954852016","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780954852016.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.0984,"title":"Put Your Heart in Your Mouth","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780954852016"},{"authors":["Mickey Trescott NTP","Angie Alt","Mickey Trescott"],"book_id":"9781623367299","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781623367299.jpg?v=20260417T232332Z%3A2026-04-17T23%3A23%3A32Z","score":16.0962,"title":"The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781623367299"},{"authors":["Jill Weisenberger","David Katz","David L.
