Episode #65 - Bone Health in Perimenopause: The Truth About Calcium, Hormones & Strength Training

Welcome to episode 65 of Antigravity Wellness!Bone health in perimenopause isn’t just about calcium—it’s about three key pillars: nutrition, hormones, and stimulus (strength training). In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith breaks down what women need to know about preserving bone density and preventing osteoporosis before it starts.She explains that women begin losing bone mass as early as age 30, and this process accelerates during perimenopause due to declining estrogen levels. While walking is beneficial for overall health, it is not enough on its own to build or maintain bone density. Progressive strength training is essential for creating the stimulus your bones need to stay strong.Dr. Nicole emphasizes that true prevention is a full-body approach, including optimizing hormones, improving nutrition, managing stress, prioritizing sleep, and incorporating resistance training into your weekly routine.The goal is not just stronger bones—it’s maintaining independence, strength, and quality of life as you age.Freebies: Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!
