Lotus Blossom Clinic, in Fort Myers, is launching a new concept—classes that combine a book club meeting with dietary advice. Practical and useful information for preventing bone loss and building better bones from Dr. R. Keith McCormick’s recently released book Great Bones, Taking Control of Your Osteoporosis and food-as-medicine tips and delicious samples will be provided from 1:30 to 3 p.m. every third Saturday of the month.

 Great Bones, which recounts how McCormick, who competed in the 1976 Summer Olympic Games, was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis in his mid-40s, also contains cutting-edge information on testing and lifestyle changes in dealing with the condition that is helpful for both the public and medical personnel. Studies have shown up to 50 percent of women and 20 percent of men will sustain at least one osteoporotic-related fracture in their lifetime. “For overall health and well-being, it’s important to share knowledge, ideas, and have open discussions about possibilities and solutions,” says Deb Martin, at the clinic. “Also, it’s essential to find a supportive group to help bring balance and harmony to our health journeys.”
Cost: $10.
Location: 6710 Winkler Rd., Ste. 2. For more information, call 239-277-1399 or visit LotusBlossomClinic.com. The book is available on Amazon or OsteoNaturals.com.
