Do you have brittle bones? This week we're talking about osteoporosis, the health condition that weakens bones and makes sufferers more prone to breaks. We've all got our own experiences to share, but to give us expert information on the topic, we're joined by endocrinologist, Dr Mark Vanderpump. We also hear from Gillian's first female Ping Pong partner, Pauline Jones, who, when we spoke to her, was expecting to undergo an amputation due crumbling bones in her foot. That may all sound pretty depressing, but there is an optimistic end to this episode, we promise..
Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.
