Bone Health in Canada Is Changing And People Need to Know

As a Registered Massage Therapist with 30+ years in musculoskeletal health, and founder of Preventative Health Awareness Month/Movement (PHAM), I’ve spent the last 3.5 working alongside Megan Buhrmester, Founder of OSTEOSOUND, brining the REMS bone scan technology to Canadians, supporting nearly 4,000 scans and educating patients and practitioners.

Recent OHIP changes now:

➡️ Require FRAX scoring

➡️ Extend DEXA testing to 3–5 years for many patients

At a time when prevention should be increasing, access to monitoring is decreasing.

Here’s the reality:

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will fracture

Bone loss is often silent… until it’s not

But this doesn’t have to create fear, it can create action.

Bone quality and fracture prevention is influenced by many of our lifestyle decisions which are IN our control:

💪 Progressive Resistance/Strength training

🥩 Protein intake

🌱 Vitamins and Minerals

😴 Sleep

🧠 Stress & hormonal health

And with newer tools like REMS, we can now measure more than density, we can track bone quality.

I received a call last week from a physician who believes in the PHAM movement and has been closely watching my posts and reading my blogs over the last 4. years.

She is concerned about these new OHIP changes and how they reduce the access to DEXA and this prompted an engaging and interesting conversation around early detection, prevention, lifestyle medicine, patient education/empowerment and the gap that REMS can fill for physicians like her who want to monitor their patients safely and accurately.

I wrote this blog in response to this conversation as I want to help Canadians understand what’s changing and what they CAN do about it.

Let’s shift the conversation from reaction → prevention → empowerment.

As a Registered Massage Therapist with over three decades in clinical practice, my lens has always been grounded in one core belief: Musculoskeletal health is the foundation of overall health. Bones are not just structures. They are living, dynamic tissues that reflect how we move, how we age, and h...

Sitting in gratitude this morning, reflecting on what the PHAM movement has brought into my life.

I think, at our core, most of us hope to leave a meaningful mark on this world.

We all carry a unique set of gifts, experiences, and perspectives that are ours alone and life is far too short and precious not to share them.

But here’s the truth, being authentic and bold is vulnerable.

It opens the door to criticism, to naysayers, and sometimes the loudest voice of all, the one in your own head:

Who are you to do that?
You don’t have the time.
You don’t have the skills.

I’ve learned something powerful on this journey:

If you feel called to do something, something others don’t yet see or fully understand,
do it anyway!

Going out on a limb can feel very uncomfortable, even unstable at times.

But that “limb” is often where growth happens. It’s where purpose lives.

When you quiet the noise, lean into the work, and commit to building the “thing” you feel called to create, something incredible happens.

You don’t just change your own life—
you give others permission to do the same.

This morning, sitting in my sun-filled family room, I watched a squirrel, focused, determined, completely committed to its path.

No hesitation. No overthinking. Just action.

And it reminded me…

Purpose doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.
Impact doesn’t come from playing small.

My “why” is simple:
To create a ripple effect of awareness, empowerment, and preventative health—so more people feel informed, capable, and in control of their well-being.

My mission:

To help individuals Become the CEO of their health, and to bring professionals, businesses, and communities together to create real, lasting change.

If you’ve been feeling that pull, that quiet nudge to do something bigger

This is your reminder.

Step out on the limb.
Trust yourself.
The world needs what only you can offer.

Grateful for the opportunity to join Mary Dilly on Savvy Seniors to share a message I care deeply about:

We all have the ability to become the CEO of our own health.

As a Consultant in Aging and Founder of PHAM (Preventative Health Awareness Movement), I believe that vitality isn’t reserved for a certain age, it’s something we can cultivate across the lifespan through education, awareness, and proactive choices.

This conversation is about shifting from reactive care to empowered, preventative living, because everyone deserves to age with strength, resilience, and dignity.

Ask yourself honestly…

Are you living strong , or just getting by?

So many people are running on empty,
thinking that’s just “life.”

But here’s the truth:
You can’t lead your family, your business, or your life if your health is an afterthought.

Strength isn’t about extremes.
It’s built in the basics:

• Movement
• Breath
• Sleep
• Consistency

Small daily actions → powerful long-term outcomes.

Because the life you want requires the body and mind to support it.

Prevention is the legacy you leave.

Are you ready to lead yourself differently?

Join Us for a Spring Reset, Spinal Rejuvenation Weekend

There is nothing I believe in more than collaboration in healthcare because when we bring brilliant minds together, we create something far more powerful than working in silos.

This is exactly what the Preventative Health Awareness Movement (PHAM) is all about.

And this upcoming weekend is a perfect example.

I am incredibly excited (and truly honoured) to be part of this Spinal Rejuvenation Weekend alongside PHAMbassador Dr. Vineeta Ahooja, remarkable cardiologist, functional medicine practitioner, and Ayurvedic expert whose depth of knowledge is nothing short of extraordinary.

This is an unbelievable opportunity for:

✔️ Healthcare professionals looking to expand their toolbox
✔️ Individuals ready to take ownership of their health
✔️ Anyone curious about integrative, preventative approaches to longevity and resilience

What makes this so unique?

This is where ancient wisdom meets modern science.

✨ELDOA myofascial decompression techniques
✨Traditional yoga practices
✨Nervous system regulation & breathwork
✨Preventative health tools you can actually apply

I’ll be there sharing some of the practical, real-life preventative health strategies I use every day in clinic and through PHAM. Tools that empower you to become the CEO of your health.

And learning ELDOA?
Let me tell you… it’s going to be epic.

Most people wait until something breaks to pay attention to their health.

Burnout. Stress. Feeling off, but pushing through anyway.

What if you didn’t have to live like that?

This is about something different.
A smarter, more intentional way to understand your body, build habits that actually stick, and take control before problems start.

The CEO of Your Health Learning Hub was created for exactly that.
Not just a hub, a community of people committed to showing up for their health, together.

Because community matters.
Support matters.
And doing this alongside others changes everything.

I’m incredibly honoured and proud to have Dr. Kristy Prouse as Chief Medical Advisor of the HUB, ensuring this work is grounded in both clinical insight and real-world application.

And behind the scenes, I’m actively advocating for insurance coverage so preventative health support like this becomes more accessible to more people.

Real guidance from & access to diverse healthcare professionals. Real tools. Real-life application.

If you’ve been looking for a way to feel more in control, more energized, and more aligned with your health, this is for you.

What if men treated their health the way they treat a game?

📊 Knew the stats.
🎯 Trained with intention.
🏆 Played for longevity, not just survival.

On this episode of PHAMCAST, I sit down with Dr. Dave Harper for a real, no-fluff conversation about men’s health, prevention, and what it truly means to be fit for life.

Because here’s the truth,

Most men don’t lose the game because they’re weak.
They lose because they’re not tracking the score.

We talk about:

✔️ The statistics men can’t afford to ignore
✔️ Why prevention is the ultimate performance strategy
✔️ How to start treating your body like it actually matters
✔️ Shifting from reactive “sick care” to proactive, empowered living

This isn’t about fear.
This is about ownership.

Because when you understand the numbers,
you change the way you show up in the game.
