You Are More Than Your DEXA Scan | Dr. Kimberly Zambito, M.D.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kimberly Zambito, a trailblazing orthopedic surgeon and hand specialist who’s transforming how we think about bone health. We dive into why traditional DEXA scans often fail petite women and how the new REMS ultrasound technology is offering a more accurate and empowering alternative. 

Dr. Zambito shares why “you are more than your T-score” and how we can take control of our bone health through balance, strength training, proper nutrition, and lifestyle changes. She also breaks down how to talk to your doctor without fear and advocate for your wellness. If you’ve ever felt scared or confused after a diagnosis, this conversation will bring clarity, confidence, and hope.
