One in two women over 50 will suffer a fracture due to osteoporosis.

Yet most won’t even know their bones are at risk—until it’s too late.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Han and Dr. Adrienne Bitar, the powerhouse women behind Seen Nutrition, to talk about the silent crisis affecting women’s longevity—bone loss.

From postpartum pain to a shocking osteoporosis diagnosis at 29, Jen and Adrienne turned their personal health scares into a purpose-driven mission: to rewrite what women think they know about calcium, bone strength, and aging. What they discovered? Most supplements don’t work. The wellness industry isn’t telling the whole truth. And bone health is about so much more than brittle bones—it’s about living strong, mobile, and free.

You’ll walk away with myth-busting facts, a brand-new lens on “food as medicine,” and a serious nudge to stop putting your own health last.

Highlights:

04:25 – From Postpartum Pain to Purpose

How a sudden injury sparked a deeper awareness of bone health and led to unexpected breakthroughs in personal care.

08:10 – The Milk Myth and Modern Nutrition

Why plant milks and fortified foods may not be enough—and how to spot the calcium your bones actually need.

13:00 – Creating a Better Solution with Food as Medicine

The birth of Scene Nutrition and a calcium chew made with only four real ingredients for maximum absorption and impact.

17:30 – Rewriting the Diet Narrative

How historical diet fads have shaped our choices—and how to finally break the cycle of misinformation and restriction.

21:05 – Bone Health Isn’t Just a Women’s Issue

Why men should pay attention too—and how we can reframe bone density as a lifelong priority, not a late-stage fix.

25:00 – The Future of Functional Wellness

How education, simplicity, and real food are leading the next wave of proactive, sustainable health.

30:12 – Small Changes, Big Results

Start now, start small. Even a single daily habit can reshape your bone health and quality of life for years to come.

Hilary’s 3HQ™ Takeaway

This episode is your reminder that health doesn’t start in your calendar—it starts in your beliefs.

When you take care of your Head (the knowledge you hold), your Heart (the commitment to prioritize yourself), and your Highest Self (the vision of your long, strong future), you create a powerful ripple effect—for your body and your life.
