Dr. McCormick knows what potential dangers lurk for women and men who don't understand the life cycle of bone, who don't realize the role nutrition plays in bone health, who don't know what can happen to bone even when they think they're doing "everything right." In his mission to help readers - women and men, athletes and nonathletes, primary care physicians and specialists - Dr. McCormick explains not just the fundamentals of osteoporosis but also the pathophysiology of bone loss and what it takes to regain skeletal health. If you're a patient suffering from bone loss, Dr. McCormick helps you take control of your osteoporosis; if you're a doctor, he lays out the most up-to date science so you can best serve your patients. Great Bones is a book everyone can use to achieve better skeletal health well into their 70s, 80s, and beyond.
