11. Food Freedom for Bone Health with Ashlee Williams, RD
EPISODE OVERVIEW:
This is a special conversation I had with Ashlee Williams, a registered dietitian, functional medicine practitioner, and Director of Development & Community Support inside The OsteoCollective, founded by Dr. Doug Lucas. Together, we unpack what food freedom really means in the context of osteoporosis: eating to support your bones without fear, rigidity, or constant second-guessing.
We talk about why “discipline” can be fear in disguise, how all-or-nothing food rules backfire, and what it looks like to build calm, sustainable structure instead. We also tackle common stress triggers—like oxalates and other anti-nutrients, strict tracking with apps, and the pressure to do everything perfectly—so you can focus on what actually moves the needle for bone health.
If food feels confusing, stressful, or loaded with pressure right now, this episode is for you.
