Strong bones are foundational to leading an active life, yet bone health is a topic that’s often overlooked or ignored until age 60 or beyond. At the same time, women are at a higher risk of developing osteoporosis than men, making them more susceptible to fractures and other bone-related issues. Prioritizing bone health helps prevent osteoporosis and contributes to overall well-being and quality of life. Luckily, there’s a lot we can do to improve our bone health and reduce bone loss actively. Today I’m joined by the Bone Coach™, Kevin Ellis, who is passionate about helping people improve their bone health. In this episode, Kevin and I discuss his osteoporosis diagnosis, why we need to think about bone density and quality, different types of bone medications and how they work, common causes of osteoporosis, and more. It's never too early or too late to work on your bone health, and Kevin shares many insights and resources you can apply right now. Enjoy the episode!
