Imagine stepping off a curb and snapping your ankle—not from a hard fall, but because your bones were quietly hollowing out beneath the surface. This is the hidden reality of osteoporosis and osteopenia, the “silent thief” that steals bone strength without symptoms until the first unexpected fracture. In this episode of Healing Beyond Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West reveals why bones—dynamic, living tissues that rebuild themselves every decade—sometimes fail. You’ll discover why calcium alone isn’t enough, how hormones, gut health, and lifestyle shape your skeleton, and which foods, habits, and therapies can make or break your future independence. With real patient stories, practical prevention strategies, and the Nx Bone Protocol, this masterclass will show you how to protect your silent foundation—and live stronger at every age.
And remember: you are not your diagnosis.

Welcome back to Healing Beyond Diagnosis. I’m Dr. Jason West, and today we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated conditions in modern medicine: Lyme disease.
Lyme isn’t always loud. It’s sneaky. It mimics chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, and even mental illness—leaving patients in diagnostic limbo while their lives fall apart.

The truth about co-infections like Bartonella, Babesia, and mold toxicity
Why antibiotics alone aren't enough—and what to do when they fail

And why the terrain inside you matters more than just killing bugs
