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.

In this episode, we cover

  • Why bone health starts in the womb and peaks by your 20s
  • Why menopause causes rapid bone loss of 10 to 20 percent
  • Why osteoporosis is a silent disease until a fracture happens
  • How diabetes and other conditions quietly raise fracture risk
  • The three pillars: load, nourish and protect your bone rhythms
