Protecting Your Bone Bank
Why do women lose up to 20 percent of bone density in the first five to seven years after menopause? Dr. Linsey Gani explains bone health as a lifelong "bone bank," built from the womb through childhood, peaking in the late teens and twenties, and quietly shaped by daily habits in adulthood. She explains why osteoporosis is a silent disease with no symptoms until a fracture occurs, who is most at risk, and the three pillars that protect bones at any age: load, nourish and protect your rhythms.
