The problem
You just got your DEXA results. Now what?
You walked out of an eight-minute appointment with a printout you didn’t fully understand and a prescription. Then you sat in your car and pulled out your phone.
Weeks of searching, Facebook groups, and YouTube videos later, you are more confused than when you started. Everyone contradicts everyone else, and you feel stuck between taking the medication and trying to do it naturally and hoping for the best.
You are not broken. You don’t need another book that explains osteoblasts and osteoclasts. You need someone to tell you what to do tomorrow morning, with what you have.
Inside the book
Six steps, in order. Not 47 things at once.
The whole book is organized around the Bone Resilience Roadmap: six steps that build on each other, written in plain language with nothing left out.
Step 1Bone Building QuickStart
The three-step quickstart that gets you into action today, before you have everything figured out.
Step 2Feed the Skeleton
The diet and supplement protocol, with the exact forms and doses, from a pharmacist who understands absorption and drug interactions.
Step 3Load, Impact & Balance
Resistance, impact, and balance training: the three-part movement protocol that signals your bones to rebuild, and what to avoid.
Step 4Unblock the Bones
The hidden obstacles working against you: medications, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle factors most people never connect to bone loss.
Step 5Send Strong Signals
The advanced layer that amplifies everything else: muscle-building training, myokines, and hormones.
Step 6Measure & Maintain
How to track your progress, read your DEXA results, and keep your gains for life, including what to do when your numbers plateau.
Also inside
The supplements, forms, and doses that work, and the ones that don’t
The exercise protocol that builds bone, and what could hurt you
An honest medication guide from a pharmacist who won’t dismiss your concerns
How to read your DEXA results, and what to do when they head the wrong way
About the author
Ray Hinish, Pharm.D.
“I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy in 2000 and have spent 25 years where clinical pharmacology meets integrative medicine. I saw early that the medication conversation and the natural health conversation were happening in two separate rooms, and my patients were caught in the middle.”
“I wrote Strong Bones Forever because the women I see are brilliant and motivated, and still getting it wrong, because nobody gave them a complete, honest, step-by-step roadmap. This book is that roadmap.”
Founder of the OsteoCoach Center for Strong Bones in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Hope for osteoporosis patients!
He delivers the material in an easy going, conversational style that makes it appear as though he is talking to you specifically (no dry academic type of writing).
“I found 3 books at my local library on osteoporosis that were OK … but Dr Hinish’s book was by far the best of the bunch!”
