Bone Health and Menopause: What's the Connection?

October is National Menopause Awareness Month, an opportunity to educate

women about changes that can occur in the body during this phase of life.

The average age of menopause is 51 and can bring on hormonal fluctuations

and hot flashes, among other things. During this time, declining estrogen

levels can cause bone loss, in turn increasing your risk of osteoporosis.

In this episode, we are pleased to be speaking with Dr. Sharon

Allison-Ottey about the connection between bone health, menopause and

osteoporosis.
