About this episode
I'm about to share something that completely changed how I think about bone health – and it might shock you, too. For years, I've been getting DEXA scans and feeling confident about my bone health because my scores looked great. Then I discovered a revolutionary new test called REMS (radiofrequency echographic multi-spectrometry), and guess what? Despite my "perfect" DEXA results, I actually have mild osteopenia. This was my wake-up call, and it's why I'm passionate about sharing the complete truth about bone health supplements women over 40 need to know. Here's what no one tells you: traditional DEXA scans only measure bone mineral density – how much bone you have – but they miss the crucial piece of bone quality. You could have normal bone density but still have fragile bones if your bone architecture, turnover rates, and collagen integrity aren't optimal. That's why I'm diving deep into the cutting-edge strategies that go far beyond calcium supplements, including specific exercises that load your spine and hips, the power of creatine for postmenopausal women, and why a simple weighted vest might be one of the best investments you'll ever make for your future self. What you’ll learn: Why waiting until 65 for your first bone density test is setting you up for failure (and when you should really start testing) The game-changing difference between bone mineral density and bone quality – and why you need both for truly strong bones How REMS testing provides a radiation-free, real-time assessment that's revolutionizing personalized aging care The specific exercises that create the bone-building stress your skeleton craves, including the magic of weighted vest walking Why bone health supplements women over 40 should include creatine HCL and how it works synergistically with resistance training The hidden risk factors stealing your bone strength (hint: it's not just menopause) My complete protocol for women 40+ to build and maintain strong bones from the inside out How to overcome anabolic resistance as you age and why protein timing matters more than you think Love the Podcast?
