In this segment Jeff Langmaid explains that chronic stress, systemic inflammation, poor sleep patterns, and elevated cortisol—conditions present in the majority of patients—drive the body toward bone loss, contributing to osteopenia and osteoporosis. He argues that while calcium intake and exercise are beneficial, they are often insufficient because clinicians and patients overlook the long‑term impact of these stress‑related factors. He emphasizes the need to assess and address chronic stress, inflammation, and sleep quality when evaluating bone health, noting that most practitioners are unaware of this connection.
