Preventive health can make a massive difference when it’s done early and often. This is the philosophy behind regular cholesterol and blood pressure screens starting from a young age. But why don’t we do that with bone health? Especially when we know bone loss starts in our 30s? If you ask Bone Health Technologies | Osteoboost CEO Laura Yecies, she’d point out that we haven’t had a solid intervention to offer people whose screenings were concerning. That is, until now. In our interview with Laura, we learned how BHT’s Osteoboost can be that early bone health intervention for eligible low bone density patients.
