Imagine being told as a young adult that you're suffering from
osteoporosis so advanced that your bones are that of an
80-year-old. That's what happened to Mira Calton while living what
she thought was a healthy life in New York City. She tells
listeners what happened next and how she recovered.
She and husband Dr. Jayson Calton discuss
Mira and Jayson Calton are authors and founders of Calton
Nutrition. They are experts in
weight management strategies and micronutrient therapies. Their
latest book, Rebuild your Bones, specifically addresses
bone health tips and effective ways to pair
bone health vitamins and other micronutrients.
Their past book addresses micronutrient deficiency effects overall.
Mira and Jayson met each other after her advanced osteoporosis
diagnosis. While researching her condition, which doctors said was
irreversible, she received a recommendation to see nutritionist Dr.
Calton. Together, they delved into the world of micronutrients, an
under-discussed topic in the supplement community. Dr. Calton was
able to navigate the science behind what Mira had started to
learn.
For example, he explains how calcium and magnesium, both
bone-building nutrients, share a similar receptor site and actually
compete when introduced together. "They're like two screaming kids
in a car," adds Mira, preventing each other from progressing. If
they're separated, however, they can give their best. He began
separating such natural competitors for her and this was the
beginning of their micronutrient therapy.
They've spent years researching every micronutrient competition
that can take place and how to formulate them to prevent this
competition. In fact, their formulation is the first and only
multivitamin granted a U.S. patent for formulation. Eventually,
micronutrient therapy worked to heal Mira's osteoporosis and
they've helped numerous clients since. They also discuss ways
medications hurt nutrient absorption and how diet effects these
issues, such as suggestions for micronutrient rich foods and how
each diet has micronutrient weaknesses and strengths.
