In this must-listen episode of Women Mastering Midlife, host Victoria Byrd sits down with Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, to unpack the often-overlooked topic of bone health in perimenopause and menopause. Together, they explore the critical connection between estrogen and osteoporosis, the surprising risks of low BMI, and why midlife is the perfect time to start strength training—not just to build muscle, but to protect your bones, prevent fractures, and maintain your independence for decades to come.
Dr. Moore shares her personal and professional journey into bone health and cancer rehab, revealing how her own osteopenia diagnosis shifted the course of her career. She delivers actionable insights on:
Why osteoporosis is a silent disease and how to know if you're at risk
What osteopenia really means (and why it's your wake-up call)
The powerful role estrogen plays in bone remodeling and collagen production
Why "strong and stable" matters more than "small and skinny" in midlife
The truth about weighted vests, DEXA scans, and the real exercise prescription for your bones
Her go-to formula: protein-forward nutrition, anti-inflammatory eating, sleep as medicine, and functional movement
The evidence-based strength training approach that actually improves bone density even if you're a beginner
If you're a midlife woman who wants to stay active, vibrant, and fracture-free for the long haul, this episode is your essential guide to taking charge of your bone health starting now.
