🦴 Hormones & Bone Health: What Every Woman Should Know 🦴
Did you know that women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the years surrounding menopause?
Estradiol plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bones. As estradiol levels decline during perimenopause and menopause, bone breakdown begins to outpace bone formation, increasing the risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures.
Signs of declining bone health often go unnoticed until a fracture occurs, which is why prevention is so important.
Ways to support bone health:
✔️ Optimize hormone levels when appropriate
✔️ Prioritize protein intake
✔️ Engage in regular strength training
✔️ Ensure adequate Vitamin D and magnesium levels
✔️ Consume sufficient calcium through diet and supplementation when needed
✔️ Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
✔️ Consider bone density screening if you are at risk
