The Hidden Danger of PPIs: Hip Fracture Risk

Dr. Vikki Petersen warns that long-term use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) can increase the risk of osteoporosis and hip fractures by reducing calcium and magnesium absorption. Women over 50 are particularly vulnerable due to decreased estrogen levels.

To protect your bone health, Dr. Petersen recommends: stopping PPIs by addressing acid reflux root causes, optimizing vitamin D levels, balancing estrogen, strength training, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, and reviewing medications that may contribute to osteoporosis.
