The Woman Who Beat Bone Loss(And how you can too)

Updated: July 8, 2025

When Lara Pizzorno was diagnosed with low bone density, she wasn’t surprised. After all, bad bone health runs in her family. 

But here’s what is surprising. She didn’t just find a way to stop her bone loss. She found a way to reverse it. And in this exclusive interview, Lara shares how she did it — and how you can too.

Lara has spent the last 30 years researching what really works for bone health. She’s a best-selling author, a medical editor, and has been published in dozens of peer-reviewed medical journals. Her story will give you real hope — because if she could rebuild her bones with every odd stacked against her, imagine what’s possible for you.

In this conversation, she opens up about:

  • The bone-destroying mistake that even good doctors make and why it’s making your bones weaker (even when you’re doing “everything right”)
  • How she reversed “irreversible” bone loss using an all-natural solution most people have never heard of.
  • Why chronic stress literally dissolves your bones from the inside out and the best way to beat it.
  • It leaches bone-destroying chemicals into your food, yet most people have 6-8 of them in their kitchen right now!
  • The 3 things to do in your first 48 hours after diagnosis that can mean the difference between fractures at 65… or dancing at your grandkid’s wedding at 85.

This is a must-watch for anyone who’s worried about low bone density, especially if it runs in your family.

Because Lara’s story proves that bone loss isn’t a life sentence. It’s a challenge you can overcome.

    I have a question about Strontium.
    I was taking it for a few years and then found out I had a small kidney stone, so I stopped taking it.
    I’ll take the AlgeaCal I said today,plus the vitamin D at lunchtime and the fish oil I am up for it.
    Will, I still be able to get good results without the strong boost?
    And now that I haven’t been taking it for a few months, I think I should start taking one tonight?

    Great information.
    However Lara mentions it’s important to eliminate plastics as much as possible. However all Algae Cal products are in plastic containers.

    Thank you for your comment, Barbara, and great point! We currently offer AlgaeCal supplements in plastic bottle packaging. This is to ensure that your supplements arrive in good condition, as glass bottles are more susceptible to damage while in transit to you!

    Our manufacturing team is always trying to stay at the forefront of different packaging innovations, and if ever we decide to change our packaging, we’ll be sure to let our community know via our newsletter. 🙂 Any questions, please don’t hesitate!

    Does Algaecal help/stop artheritis and demineralization of shoulders ?

    Thank you for your question, Jan. AlgaeCal calcium formulations are specifically designed to support bone health and increase bone mineral density, which can be beneficial in addressing bone demineralization. However, while AlgaeCal provides the essential minerals and nutrients needed for stronger bones, it is not formulated as a treatment for arthritis.

    That said, AlgaeCal Collagen does contain bioactive collagen peptides (FORTIBONE®, VERISOL®, FORTIGEL®) that are clinically supported to support joint health, regrow joint cartilage, and improve joint flexibility. Many of our community members have shared that they notice improvements in joint comfort and mobility when adding collagen to their routine.

    While AlgaeCal products can support bone strength and joint health, it’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive approach if you’re managing arthritis or specific joint issues like shoulder demineralization. And for more personalized support, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). We’re always happy to help! 🙂
