Is There a Relationship Between Osteoporosis and Vision?

So today I'm going to take a question from a listener, and she wants to know if there's a relationship between osteoporosis and vision? In my somatic training, I learned that bone health is related to so many things in our body. When we talk about bone health, we talk about the relationship between our ability to have weight-bearing exercise, whether it's lifting weights or doing functional fitness, that's a very important factor in keeping your bones healthy. But this connection between the eyes, and osteoporosis is not really talked about very much, even though I've seen it in my practice for a long time. Enjoy the show.

So today I'm going to take a question from a listener, and she wants to know if there's a relationship between osteoporosis and vision? Well, this is a great question, because in my somatic training, I learned that bone health is related to so many things in our body. And before I get to the vision question, one of the fascinating things that I learned when I studied a modality called continuum movement, my teacher and mentor, Emily Conrad, she told me that in continual movement, because part of the modality is using sound, as we make certain spiral and wave and pulsating movements, that sound is one of the best ways to increase bone health. And she mentioned that she had a number of people in her studio that were suffering osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. And their history was is that as children, they were told to keep quiet, don't speak, speak in a monotone. And the voice is such a resonator for our bones, that if we have a very narrow range in our voice, capability, or we have a tendency to just be very inward iced and introverted, that this eventually can cause a weakness in the bones. And we also know that in bone health, of course, we talk about the relationship between our ability to have weight bearing exercise, and how that stress, whether it's lifting weights or doing functional fitness, that's also another very important factor, and keeping your bones healthy. But this connection between the A eyes, and osteoporosis is not really talked about very much, even though I've seen it in my practice for a long time. And there was a study that was put out in one of the medical journals, and I will include the link. And they asked this very question, what's the relationship between osteoporosis and dry eye syndrome. And in the article, they actually discussed that there is a very strong relationship, especially with women who have osteoporosis, that they also suffer dry eye syndrome. And in this particular study that they the researchers looked at, and of course, they were, you know, looking at the decrease in bone mass. They were also seeing this visual disturbance of dry eye syndrome.
