Ep. 51 | Menopause Bone Health: Your Roadmap to Calcium, Collagen, and Stronger Bones
Nobody talks about bones until something breaks. Or until you get that first bone density scan and the numbers aren't what you expected.
But here's what most women don't realize: bone loss accelerates significantly during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen plays a major role in keeping your bones strong — and when it declines, your bones feel it. Fast.
The good news? There's a lot you can do right now to protect and strengthen your bones. And it goes way beyond drinking milk.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why bone health becomes critical during perimenopause and menopause — and why waiting until you have a problem is too late
The truth about calcium sources — why dairy isn't the only option and how to get what your bones need through a variety of foods
Collagen: the unsung hero of bone strength — why it matters, what the research says, and how to incorporate it
The essential nutrients your bones need beyond calcium — vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K, and why they work as a team
Why weight-bearing exercise is one of the most powerful things you can do for bone density after 40
Lifestyle factors that impact bone health — including things that may be quietly working against you
Understanding bone density scans — what they measure, when to get one, and how to read the results
The latest research on gut health and bone strength — a connection most women haven't heard about
Practical tips for fall prevention — because protecting your bones isn't just about building them, it's about keeping them safe
Your bones have been supporting you your whole life. Now it's time to return the favor — with the right nutrition, the right movement, and the right information.
