Irma Jennings: All About Bone Health | The Healing Grove Podcast

The Healing Grove Podcast

This week I am thrilled to introduce you to my new friend, Irma Jennings.
Irma is a Holistic Bone Coach, but I like to think of her as a "bone whisperer," because she really understands the deepest desires of our skeletal scaffold. Moreover, she is really, really expert at explaining things in ways that are simple, clear, and medically accurate.
With over 13 years of specialized experience in bone health, she provides comprehensive, evidence-based education to her coaching clients so that they are well-informed about osteoporosis management and prevention. She also has a vast network of practitioners with whom she works--people she trusts to "do bones right," as it were--and literally travels to visits with her clients to their bone doctors, where she offers support and advocacy during medical consultations.
