Opt to Thrive…for Midlife Women
The Silent Bone Crisis Affecting Midlife Women - A Bone Health Conversation All Women Need to Hear
This week’s episode took a turn I didn’t expect.
After seeing a string of unexpected bone density results in women in their 50s and 60s, I knew I had to hit pause on my planned topic and talk about something far more urgent: the silent bone crisis unfolding in midlife women — long before most of us think we’re at risk.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why early bone loss is becoming so common
- The types of fractures most women never hear about
- Who should consider getting a bone density scan
- Advocating for yourself with your own GP to get a referral
- The lifestyle factors that quietly weaken bones
- The simple, science-backed steps that protect them
If you’re in your 40s, 50s or 60s, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.
Please share this important episode with ALL the women in your life.
