This is an extremely informative episode for women in midlife and beyond. We speak with Claire Gill, CEO of the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Many women don't know how important bone health is as we age.
Did you know that Osteoporosis is 90% genetic?
Did you know that your bone mass is at its peak at age 25?
Do you know your bone density or why it is important to know that answer?
Claire states "For women at menopause, we lose bone because of our estrogen loss so when we cease our menses, estrogen drops... and then we can lose up to 20% of our bone mass in the first 5-7 years post menopausal."
Learn the answers to the above questions and more on this episode.
