In the last episode in May, which is NATIONAL OSTEOPOROSIS AWARENESS & PREVENTION MONTH, I’m joined by Claire Gill, CEO of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF), to bring you an exclusive look at the latest research and expert insights from the Interdisciplinary Symposium on Osteoporosis (ISO)—the premier bone health conference in the country.
I’ve served as a longtime trustee of BHOF and currently act as Special Advisor, helping expand our Be Bone Strong™ Marathon Teams and Walking Clubs around the country. Even though I couldn’t attend this year’s ISO in Washington, D.C., Claire was there front and center, and she's here to share what every woman over 50 must know to stay strong, mobile, and independent.
From new technologies to the power of strength training—and the glaring gaps in diagnosis and treatment—we cover the biggest issues and the most hopeful breakthroughs in bone health today.
What You'll Learn:
Why exercise is medicine when it comes to bone health
The powerful role of strength training at every age
How to be proactive—not reactive—about your bones
What the osteoporosis treatment gap means for you
Why diagnosis often comes too late, and how to catch it early
The vital role of primary care doctors in managing bone health
