Avoid osteoporosis, frailty and immobility, with Dr Vonda Wright


Listen Later

With one in two women expected to have an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Vonda Wright reveals the steps to take now to protect ourselves from this reality - and instead age with power.


Liz and Vonda discuss how we can invest in both our physical and mental resilience to avoid osteoporosis, immobility, joint pain and bone fractures in later life, plus how motherhood, menopause, vaping and smoking impact our bones.


Vonda shares the major exercise change to make to improve our strength, and the foods to prioritise to ensure you're getting enough calcium and protein (plus other essential nutrients you need) for your bones and muscles.
