Bone health is a critical part of wellbeing for women, so for Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month, Mary sat down with Dr. Diane Schneider ‘75, who has dedicated her career to finding solutions for bone health–the most common issue affecting older women. Osteoporosis is a silent disease that often goes unnoticed until damage has occurred. Bone density and strength is something we need to pay attention to our entire lives. In this conversation, Dr. Schneider gives us proactive measures to improve the quality of our bones, no matter our age. She highlights common misconceptions about calcium sources, the necessity of weight-bearing exercises, and practical tips for improving balance and overall bone health. We’ll talk about the ABCDs of bone health and how we can take action to strengthen our bodies– and those of our loved ones–today.
