Age Better with Barbara Hannah Grufferman
The Truth About Calcium Supplements: Dr. Jennifer Han’s Real Food Solution for Bone Health EP 166
02 Sep 2025
"Calcium from food is the ideal source." — Dr. Jennifer Han Learn more about SEEN Nutrition: https://www.seennutrition.com If you’ve been with me for a while, you know bone health is one of my biggest passions. I’ve worked with the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation for over 10 years, and I’m always on the lookout for innovations that can truly make a difference. That’s why I’m so excited to share this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Han. She’s a dual residency–trained, board-certified clinical pharmacist, functional medicine practitioner, and co-founder of SEEN Nutrition — the company behind the first calcium chew made entirely from real food. Dr. Han’s personal story is remarkable. After a rare bone disease fractured her back just two months after giving birth, she set out to completely rethink calcium supplements — and what she’s created could change the way we all think about supporting our bones. In our conversation, we cover: Why osteoporosis can affect women at any age — not just later in life Why most calcium supplements fall short, and what makes food-based calcium different How small, simple dietary changes (yes, even eating prunes!) can support bone density The importance of regular DEXA scans for tracking bone health Why it’s never too late — or too early — to start caring for your bones Dr. Han’s message is one I want every listener to hear: bone health is a lifelong commitment, and with the right knowledge and tools, you can protect your strength, mobility, and independence for years to come.
