Josi Clary
Integrative Nutrition Health Coach · certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2021)
Josi is a health coach who cares, deeply, about helping ordinary people understand their bodies well enough to advocate for themselves. Her focus on bone health grew out of a simple conviction: that most people are handed a single number — a bone-density score — and far too little of the context that actually decides whether a bone breaks.
She completed her training as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2021. Her approach leans toward whole-person, root-cause thinking in the tradition of integrative and functional medicine — while staying honest about where the evidence is solid and where it is still being argued over.
What coaching does
- Help you understand your own bone-health picture in plain language
- Help you organize your history, medications, and past results before an appointment
- Help you prepare clinically useful questions to ask your own doctor
- Point you to evidence-graded, well-sourced education
- Encourage the layered, whole-picture approach she believes in (density + quality + risk + root causes)
What coaching doesn't do
- Diagnose osteoporosis or any medical condition
- Interpret your DXA, REMS, labs, or imaging for you
- Prescribe, adjust, or recommend specific medications, supplements, or doses
- Order tests or override your clinician's judgment
- Provide urgent or emergency care
Coaching is education, not medical care
A health coach is not a licensed medical provider. Josi is not a physician, nurse, dietitian, or densitometrist, and nothing on this site — or in a coaching conversation — is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for your own clinician. When a question needs medical judgment (interpreting a scan, choosing a medication, evaluating symptoms), the right answer is a referral to the appropriate licensed professional — an endocrinologist or osteoporosis specialist, a registered dietitian for nutrition, a physical therapist for exercise programming, or a pharmacist for medication questions. Josi will say so plainly rather than step outside her lane.
