About the Author

R. Keith McCormick is a board-certified chiropractic physician in the states of Massachusetts, Colorado, and California, and has been in clinical practice since 1982. Dr. McCormick earned his bachelor’s degree in human biology at Stanford University and his doctorate at the National College of Chiropractic. He is an instrument-rated commercial pilot and a U.S. Army veteran.

Sports have always played a vital part in Dr. McCormick’s life. At Stanford, he competed on the varsity cross-country and fencing teams. As a junior, he was the silver medalist in the 1973 Modern Pentathlon World Championships. Two years later he won the North American Championship and in 1976 was a member of the United States Olympic Modern Pentathlon Team that competed in the XXI Olympiad in Montreal. He is the former U.S. record holder (1976) for most points scored in a pentathlon competition. Dr. McCormick continues to compete in triathlons of all distances and has completed six Ironman competitions — five of them after recovering from multiple osteoporosis-related fractures.

“To build better bones, you’ll need to do way more than pop calcium pills and take walks. Now you can get inside information from the bone health guru. If you are planning on living a long life, you will need great bones. Don’t hesitate—grab this book and take action!”

JJ Virgin, Ph.D.

CNS, CHFI, nutritionist, fitness expert, and author of The Art of Losing It

“A savvy and practical self-help approach to osteoporosis. This necessary manual is crafted by a healer keenly attuned to the subtle interdependencies between bone health and exuberant, whole-body health.”

David Abram

Author of The Spell of the Sensuous

“Who would have thought that a reference guide on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis could be such a page-turner? This delightful gem of a book is truly a masterfully crafted, informative, and deeply satisfying read. It is most certainly destined to become a classic in the field of bone health.”

Martha Stark, MD

Clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School

“McCormick has written a clear and concise guide to achieving optimal bone health. You will come away with a deep understanding of the complex causes of osteoporosis. Most importantly, the wide variety of practical tools and solutions he provides will empower you to live your very best life.”

Liz O’Dair, MD, MPH

Integrative medicine physician at Northampton Wellness Associates in Northampton, MA

“McCormick has done a masterful job at informing the reader about the ‘big picture’ of maintaining optimal bone health. Control of the osteoporosis epidemic will require more than reflexive prescribing of osteoporosis medications and calcium supplements. His recommendations, including advice on medications, nutritional supplements, diet, and lifestyle, are right on the money.”

David M. Brady, ND, DC, CCN, DACBN

Director of the Human Nutrition Institute and associate professor of clinical sciences at the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, CT

“Having traversed the wilderness of osteoporosis himself, McCormick now provides us with an invaluable guidebook in a very accessible format. I have no doubt many individuals with osteoporosis and their clinicians will benefit greatly from the wisdom presented here.”
