The "OSTEOSOUND Difference": Shifting Our Mindset from Coverage to Care

When it comes to health, Canadians often ask the same two questions:

Does OHIP cover it? and What does it cost?

While these are valid concerns, they reveal a deeper challenge in our collective mindset. We’ve been conditioned to see healthcare as something that happens to us—something the system should cover, repair, or fix when things break. But true health leadership begins long before crisis care.

At OSTEOSOUND, we believe in rewriting this script.

The OSTEOSOUND Difference

Yes, our innovation starts with REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry), a cutting-edge Health Canada authorized bone health analysis technology scan goes beyond the traditional OHIP-covered DEXA scan. Unlike DEXA, REMS is radiation-free, offers earlier detection, and provides insights into bone quality and fragility score not just bone mineral density (TScore)—crucial factors in preventing osteoporosis and fractures and promoting better musculoskeletal health.

But technology alone is not what sets OSTEOSOUND apart. It’s the how and the why.

The founder of OSTEOSOUND, Megan Buhrmester is a veteran sonographer with more than 25 years of clinical experience, ensuring accuracy and trust. She invests in training other sonographers on how to accurately conduct this study so that more people can get access to this game changing diagnostic test in Canada

And just as importantly, we pair every scan with education—delivered by me , a passionate healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience in preventative and integrative health, specializing in the musculoskeletal space. This unique combination ensures patients not only clearly understand their report but also leave with evidence-informed preventative health education and resources on what to do next.

Because data without direction does nothing for your health.

Education as Prevention

Prevention isn’t just about tests—it’s about equipping people with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take action. At OSTEOSOUND, we educate patients, physicians, and even policymakers about REMS and the importance of bone health. Our education comes from decades of hands-on clinical and integrative health expertise, with a focus on the musculoskeletal system as the foundation of overall health.

We’re not just delivering results; we’re starting conversations, shifting perspectives, and lobbying for a healthcare system that values prevention as much as treatment.

We want Canadians to realize that your health is your wealth. Education is an investment, and when you invest in prevention, you’re extending not just your lifespan but your healthspan. We are here to help you Become the CEO of your Health.

The Mindset Shift We Need

This is where mindset comes in. Too often, we wait until our bodies are broken before seeking solutions. We patch things together and hope for the best. But what if we chose to lead ourselves differently?

Self-leadership in health means asking:

• Am I being proactive or reactive?
• Am I waiting for the system to cover me, or am I investing in myself now?
• Am I focused only on what’s free, or on what’s most effective for my long-term health and independence?

The truth is, if you don’t pay for your health now, you’ll pay for your illness later. The cost of inaction—fractures, surgeries, loss of mobility, and loss of independence—is far higher than the investment in prevention.

Healthspan Over Lifespan

OSTEOSOUND exists because Canadians deserve more than basic coverage; they deserve cutting-edge prevention paired with the education to act. The traditional scan has limitations. It doesn’t capture bone quality/fragility score. It can underestimate results for smaller-boned people. It delays action until problems are more advanced. REMS changes that story—offering earlier, safer, more accurate insights that empower you to protect your bones before fractures happen.

That’s the OSTEOSOUND DIFFERENCE: not just technology, but empowerment & transformation.

Acknowledging Reality, Leading with Passion

I recognize that in today’s financial climate, it can feel difficult to find the money for preventative care. As someone deeply passionate about the preventative health movement, my mission is to provide the best access to care for everyone. And while the investment may feel daunting at first, exploring how you’re spending your money and re-allocating it with a focus on health can create a major difference in your future.

That’s why I stand behind the OSTEOSOUND difference—because when you choose prevention and education, you won’t be disappointed.

Your Call to Action

So, what’s your mindset?
Are you waiting for someone else to fix you, or are you stepping into self-leadership?
Are you willing to invest in your health, your independence, and your future, or will you wait until the cost is much greater?

At OSTEOSOUND we’re here to equip you with the tools, technology, and education to lead yourself well. Because prevention is not just healthcare—it’s self-leadership.

Your health is your wealth. The time to invest is now.
