🦴 Strong Bones, Strong Future 🌿

Today is World Osteoporosis Day, and I want to shine a light on something that deserves more attention — the connection between women's hormonal health and bone health.

Did you know that around 1 in 2 women over 50 will experience a fracture related to osteoporosis during their lifetime?

As oestrogen levels decline around menopause, bone loss accelerates. Yet many women aren't aware of this until much later in life.

The good news? There is plenty we can do to support our bone health! 💚

💪 Strength and weight-bearing exercise

🥗 Good nutrition, including adequate protein, calcium and vitamin D

🌿 Healthy lifestyle habits

⚖️ Understanding our hormones and the role of HRT where appropriate

🩺 Knowing our individual risk factors and when to seek advice

Bone health is particularly close to my heart because of my own experience of premature menopause, being diagnosed with osteopenia when I was 28 and navigating hormone replacement from a young age.

I believe that understanding what's happening in our bodies gives us the opportunity to make informed choices about our health.

It's never too early — or too late — to start looking after your bones.

Swipe through for some important facts and practical ways to support your bone health.

And if you know a woman who might benefit from this information, please share it with her. 💚

I went through menopause in my late 20s.

At the time, I understood that I needed hormone replacement. What I didn’t fully understand was the bigger picture — why replacing those hormones mattered for my long-term health, or all the other things I could do to support myself alongside medical treatment.

Over the years I’ve learnt much more about the relationship between hormones, bone health, strength, cardiovascular health, nutrition, sleep and stress.

And perhaps most importantly, I’ve learnt that premature menopause is a different conversation from reaching menopause at the usual age.

This is one of the reasons I’ve become so interested in women’s hormonal health and healthy ageing, both personally and professionally.

There’s a lot I wish I’d known in my 20s. So I thought I’d start sharing some of it here. 🌿

This is general health information, not individual medical advice. Hormone treatment should always be discussed with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Sources:
NICE. Menopause: identification and management (NG23) — POI guidance recommends sex-steroid replacement, unless contraindicated, until at least the natural age of menopause and notes bone protection.
British Menopause Society. Premature ovarian insufficiency – Consensus Statement (reviewed 2024) — covers bone, cardiovascular and wider health implications, hormone replacement and lifestyle management.
International POI guideline (ESHRE/ASRM/CRE-WHiRL/IMS, 2024) — updated international recommendations covering bone, cardiovascular, psychological, sexual and reproductive health.

A little introduction — and a bit about why I’m here 👋
I’ve worked in health and wellbeing for over 20 years and as a chiropractor for the last 12, but my own health journey has shaped my interests just as much as my professional experience.
Over the years I’ve become increasingly interested in women’s hormonal health, healthy ageing and the things we can do in everyday life to support our long-term health.
This page is where I’ll be sharing more of that — evidence-informed health information, things I find fascinating, practical ideas you can actually use, and some of what I’m learning along the way.
There’ll be plenty of chiropractic and movement too, plus nutrition, sleep, stress, skincare, nature and probably the occasional dog! 🐶
No perfection. No fearmongering. Just useful information and realistic ways to support our health now and for the future.

Tamanu Balm by Tropic is a miracle multipurpose balm that soothes and heals
even the most sensitive and reactive of skin.
I recommended it to a patient recently who had an itchy tight surgical scar that had completely healed. I showed her how to massage and apply Tamanu Balm to nourish, rehydrate and improve the scar tissue. She was thrilled with the results and reported the itching has gone completely and the skin is feeling more elastic and hydrated again.
It's important to wait until the scar has completely sealed and healed before massaging and applying any product. Healing time will vary from person to person so if in doubt check with your surgical team.
If you would like to try the product message me directly or order from my online shop: https://www.tropic.com/pages/beckystopp

🌿 Head, hands and heart 🌿

This weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Satish Kumar at the beautiful Being Peace retreat centre in the Forest of Dean.

Satish is one of those rare people who radiates wisdom, warmth and hope. He will be 90 next year and is still teaching, travelling and sharing his deep love for nature, the world and one another.

One of the students asked him:

“What is your secret to a long, happy and healthy life?”

Satish replied that there was no secret—and that luck plays a part—but one thing that has helped him is not worrying too much about the things he cannot control.

Instead, when he sees something he doesn’t like, he asks:

“How can I make it better? What can I do to help? What can I do with my own head, hands and heart?”

Such a simple but powerful way to live: focusing our energy on what we can influence, rather than becoming overwhelmed by everything we cannot.

He also spoke about walking in nature every day and his love of gardening.

“Gardening is my temple.”

At almost 90, Satish is a beautiful reminder that healthy ageing is about so much more than simply living longer. It is about continuing to move, learn, contribute, connect and find meaning in the world around us.

I came away feeling inspired, hopeful and very grateful to have spent time in his presence. 💚

Perhaps the question for all of us is: what can I do today, with my own head, hands and heart?

🌿 A new chapter... welcome to Becky Stopp Wellness.

Some of you have been following me since my Pro Recovery Movement Therapy days, so I wanted to let you know about a little change.

Over the last few years, my work has evolved. My husband and I now run Narberth Chiropractic Clinic together, and I'm continuing to grow my knowledge through Functional Wellness training.

The more I've learnt over the past 20+ years, the more I've realised that good health isn't about just one thing.

It's about looking after the whole person.

So this page is evolving too.

Here I'll be sharing the things I'm most passionate about...

✨ Whole-person health
🌿 Healthy ageing
💚 Hormonal health
🦴 Movement and strength
🥗 Nutrition and lifestyle
😴 Sleep and recovery
🧴 Skin health with Tropic
🌊 Nature, surfing and everyday wellbeing

My hope is that this page inspires you with simple, practical ways to help you...

Feel well • Live well • Age well.

Whether you've been here for years or you're new here, thank you for being part of the journey. 💛

Love,

Becky x
