Most women know menopause can bring hot flashes, sleep disruption, and mood changes.

What many don't realize is that one of the most important changes happening during this time is completely silent.

In the years surrounding menopause, women can lose a significant amount of bone density—often without any symptoms at all.

In this episode of the Stable Health Podcast, Sharon explains why menopause is such a critical period for bone health, how declining estrogen accelerates bone loss, and what steps women can take to protect their bones before fractures occur.

You'll learn who may need earlier bone density screening, why strength training becomes increasingly important during midlife, how calcium and vitamin D support skeletal health, and where hormone therapy fits into the conversation.

Sharon also discusses why women who experience early menopause—whether naturally, surgically, or due to medical treatment—deserve special attention when it comes to bone protection and long-term health planning.

Because osteoporosis doesn't begin with a fracture.

It begins years earlier, during a window when prevention has the greatest impact.

Stay stable.
