Rebuild Bone Density After 60: Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein's Plan EP 204
"A wrist fracture is a marker of increased risk for a hip fracture later in life. I tell women: that is a wake-up call. Don't wait until you're 65 to have your bone density checked." — Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I'm replaying my conversation with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein — orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at Duke University and author of The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan — because since it first aired, I've received more questions about bone density, joint pain, and osteoporosis than about any other topic. This episode answers them.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Why bone loss accelerates after menopause — and why it's never too late to build bone, at any age
The landmark LIFTMORE trial: how women in their 60s and beyond gained bone density in just eight months of heavy lifting
How heavy is "heavy"? The difference between lifting that builds bone and lifting that doesn't
Can you jump if you have arthritis? Dr. Wittstein's surprising answer — plus her simple swelling rule
What your DEXA scan may be missing, and the one add-on test to ask about
The truth about calcium: why spinach doesn't count, and the best non-dairy sources
Prunes, vitamin K, magnesium — which supplements and foods have real evidence behind them
Why a wrist fracture in your 50s or 60s is an early warning sign you should never ignore
Dr. Wittstein's top three daily habits for stronger bones and joints after 60
Aging isn't the problem. Losing strength is — and that's something you can change.
