19: Bone Health in Midlife with Mairi Thompson

It's the silent symptom of perimenopause:Bone loss.Losing bone can lead to a condition known as osteopenia, or if more advanced, osteoporosis.So, as estrogen declines in perimenopause, our bone mass deteriorates.But there are things you can do to preserve bone mass, and either prevent these conditions, or slow these conditions from progressing.That's why I've invited Mairi Thompson on the podcast.Since her own diagnosis of osteopenia in her mid-forties, Mairi is helping bring awareness to bone health in midlife and helping women build more muscle and stronger bones.Enjoy the episode!DebbieMairi Thompson is passionate about helping women- and herself- through the perimenopause/menopause years with stronger bones, a healthy body, and a positive mindset.With a degree in Sport Science and 20 years clinical experience as a massage therapist and Pilates instructor, she’s supported, championed, and inspired many people to look after their physical and mental wellbeing in a holistic way.Now with a personal diagnosis of osteopenia, and her own perimenopause symptoms, she’s motivated to lead herself and others through the menopause years with as much mental and physical strength as necessary to live a life to the fullest in good health and happiness.To connect with Mairi:Website: https://www.bodymindbones.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mairimacthompson/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mairi.maclarenThanks for listening!If you'd like to know more about working with me, visit me at www.debbieharbeccoaching.com or @debbieharbec on Instagram.Or book a time to talk with me: https://calendly.com/debbie-harbec-coaching/free-consultationMusic Credit:Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/sunnyLicense code: 8IEJIZYHBOCC8EWB
