Today’s episode is titled “Prevention is Power: Protecting Bone Health in Perimenopause”. Rebekah Rotstein & Dr. Jennifer Han focus on the holistic and practical strategies for bone health during perimenopause, shifting the conversation from doom-and-gloom to actionable steps. The discussion highlights the critical role of community and support in managing an osteopenia or osteoporosis diagnosis, the importance of movement, resistance training, and essential nutrients like calcium and Vitamin D (stressing the difficulty of getting enough from diet alone), and the benefit of complementary therapies (like acupuncture and yoga) alongside traditional medical treatments.
