Osteoporosis: Weak Bones, Silent Threat
In this episode, we break down osteoporosis, the “silent disease” that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, often without symptoms until it’s too late. We explore what causes bone loss, who’s most at risk (especially postmenopausal women and older adults), and how lifestyle, nutrition, and hormones all play a role in bone health.
We also dive into prevention strategies, including calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercise, and early screening with bone density tests. When is the best time to get a bone density?
Whether you’re looking to protect your bone health or better understand a diagnosis, this episode gives you the tools and knowledge to stay strong from the inside out
