Click to Text Thoughts on Today's Episode

According to the CDC, 19.6% of women over 50 have a prevalence of osteoporosis. That’s nearly 1 in 5. I’ve been learning about osteoporosis lately and once my eyes were opened to this diagnosis, I knew I needed to bring on an expert in bone health to help us understand it. Dr. Doug Lucas joins us today to help us understand what osteoporosis is, risk factors, how genetics play a role, hormones and bone loss, and so much more.

We discuss:

• Risks for osteoporosis
• How to achieve strong skeletal strength
• Hormones and hormonal changes effects on bone health
• Birth control pills and bone health
• How muscle mass effects bone density
• Dietary and supplementary changes one can make to improve bone health
