Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk

Bone health and menopause

Season 3, Ep. 4

Another important topic to cover and one which many of us ignore, to a certain extent, until something untoward happens…often out of the blue.

We chat through the importance of looking into and taking preventative measures from as early an age as possible, very much taking a holistic approach.

What are your bone cells actually up to as you move around day in, day out – there’s a lot going on! We explain the different terminology and why something like osteoporosis is classed as a silent disease.

What are the risk factors…ones that you can’t avoid and ones which you can do something about.

Then there’s the role estrogen plays and the role HRT can play. Lots of food for thought but essentially be aware of what we can all do for ourselves, take action and get that healthy lifestyle sorted.
