Personalized Bone Health & Functional Wellness Programs

Helping you build stronger bones, move safely, and improve long-term health. The Smart of Living is here to help through personalized, science-based lifestyle coaching.

Founded by Dr. Risa Potters, an expert in bone health, safe movement, and holistic nutrition, The Smart of Living provides individualized coaching designed to improve bone strength, mobility, resilience, and overall quality of life.

A Whole-Person Approach to Bone Health

Because bones form the structural foundation of the body, we often begin there — especially for those concerned about osteopenia, osteoporosis, injury prevention, or long-term mobility.

But bone health never exists in isolation. Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, inflammation, posture, and overall lifestyle all influence how well your body functions.

That’s why we look at the whole person, not just one diagnosis. Together we create a safe, effective plan that supports your specific needs, goals, and life stage.

Clients frequently report not only stronger bones, but also:

  • Less pain and inflammation

  • Improved strength and flexibility

  • Better balance and posture

  • Increased energy and resilience

  • Greater overall well-being

1. Nutrition & Micronutrient Support

We help you build sustainable nutrition habits that support bone strength and whole-body health, including:

  • Nutrient-dense, whole-food nutrition

  • Micronutrient optimization

  • Gut microbiome health

  • Inflammation management

  • Personalized supplementation when appropriate

Personalized Support That Complements Medical Care

Our approach integrates functional medicine principles with practical lifestyle science to support your existing medical care — not replace it.

We provide:

  • Guidance between medical visits

  • Clear explanations of health information

  • Individualized coaching and accountability

  • Ongoing support as your needs evolve

  • Most importantly, we take time to truly understand each client so recommendations are realistic, sustainable, and aligned with real life.

Individualized Programs — Not One-Size-Fits-All

Every program is customized around:

  • Your health history and goals

  • Current challenges or diagnoses

  • Lifestyle factors and preferences

  • Progress over time

    Plans include structured goals while remaining flexible enough to adapt as your health, priorities, and circumstances change.
