24: The Thing Killing as Many Women as Breast Cancer That Nobody Is Talking About. Part 3
from Mornings with Megan · host Megan Pfiffner
Your bones are not just a structural frame. They are a living, metabolically active organ system that produces hormones, participates in glucose metabolism, and communicates with your immune system. And in perimenopause, the hormonal shifts that affect your mood, your sleep, and your body composition are also shifting the balance of your bone remodeling.This is the final episode in the three-part Move pillar series, and it covers: what bone actually is, what happens to it in perimenopause, why osteoporosis and osteopenia are not inevitable, and exactly what the research says you can do about it right now.This is episode 3 of 3 in the Move pillar of the Perimenopause Matrix, a six-pillar framework for understanding and navigating perimenopause.
