But for many women after cancer, bone health is no joke. If menopause came early because of treatment, or you’re taking hormone-blocking therapy, your bones may be losing strength faster than you realize. Yet most advice women get stops at “take vitamin D” and that’s just the beginning of what your bones really need to stay strong, prevent fractures, and protect against recurrence risk. In this Halloween-inspired episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, Dr Megan pulls back the curtain on what truly supports bone health after cancer — and how you can rebuild strength, resilience, and confidence in your body again. ⚠️ This is a must-listen if: • You’ve had early menopause or are on hormone-blocking therapy • You’ve ever been told you have “osteopenia” or “osteoporosis” or want to prevent ever hearing that • You’re confused about whether you should be taking calcium • You want to know which nutrients (and habits!) really matter most 💊 In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why bone loss accelerates after cancer treatment — and what you can do to stop it • The spooky truth about calcium supplements (and how too much can backfire) • The full “bone-building team” beyond calcium: vitamin D, magnesium, K2, and protein • How strong bones can actually help protect against cancer metastasis • Conventional medication options worth discussing with your doctor • Real-life strategies for nourishing bones naturally and reducing fracture risk 💡 You’ll leave this episode with: • A clear, research-backed plan to strengthen your bones for the long term • Confidence in how to balance supplements safely and effectively • Practical steps to protect your bones for decades to come • The motivation to see bone health not as a chore, but as a form of empowerment after cancer ✨ Your bones are living, resilient tissue — and just like you, they can rebuild.
