Can you prevent osteoporosis during perimenopause and menopause?
Yes. Bone loss can often be slowed—and in some cases improved—through a combination of resistance training, adequate protein and nutrient intake, appropriate hormone therapy when indicated, and personalized medical evaluation. The earlier you begin supporting bone health, the greater your opportunity to preserve strength and reduce future fracture risk.
Most women don't realize they're losing bone long before they're ever diagnosed with osteoporosis.
By the time a bone density scan shows a problem, years of silent bone loss may have already occurred.
In this episode of The Ageless Woman Podcast, Dr. Cindy Grow explores the science behind bone health in perimenopause and menopause, explaining why estrogen is only one piece of the puzzle.
You'll learn how muscle, nutrition, hormones, inflammation, resistance training, protein intake, nutrient deficiencies, and even GLP-1 medications can influence bone strength and healthy aging.
We also discuss why many women unknowingly lose bone while focusing only on cardio and weight loss, the importance of building lean muscle, and why the timing of hormone therapy matters for protecting long-term health.
Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, this conversation will help you better understand how to protect your bones before fractures happen—and why prevention is one of the most powerful tools in women's healthcare.
In this episode:
• Why bone loss begins years before osteoporosis is diagnosed
• The relationship between estrogen and bone health
• Why resistance training is essential for strong bones
• Protein, minerals, and nutritional deficiencies that impact bone density
• How GLP-1 medications may affect muscle and bone health
• The role of advanced testing and personalized medicine
• Lifestyle habits that accelerate—or slow—bone loss
• Why healthy aging starts long before menopause

Welcome to the Ageless Women Podcast, where modern science meets timeless self-care for limitless vitality. I'm Dr. Cindy Grow, a board certified nurse practitioner and the founder of My Venus Club. This is a space for women who are ready to understand what's actually happening in their bodies and finally get real answers. If you've been told your labs are normal that this is just a part of aging, or that you just need to try harder, and if you've sat through those 15-minute appointments, left with just another prescription to manage symptoms, or maybe you feel like you've lost a part of yourself, you're in the right place. Before we begin, just a quick note this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to replace personalized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider regarding your individual health needs. Here we go deeper. We connect the dots between your hormones, your metabolism, your genetics, and your lifestyle so you can stop guessing and start feeling like yourself again. So let's get started. Today I want to talk about something that's not talked about enough with women in perimenopause and menopause, bone health. And I know bone health doesn't sound glamorous, it doesn't sound as urgent as hot flashes or frustrated belly fat. It even doesn't sound as emotional as mood changes, your poor sleep, or losing your libido. But I'm telling you, bone health is one of the most important conversations we need to be having with women earlier, not later. Because osteoporosis is often called a silent disease. You don't feel your bones getting weaker. You don't wake up one morning saying, Oh, I think my bone matrix is changing today. You don't feel osteopenia, you don't feel osteoporosis until something happens: a fracture, a fall, a hip injury, a spine compression fracture, a sudden loss of your independence. And by that time, the conversation changes. Now we're not talking about prevention, we're talking about recovery, surgery, pain, rehab, assisted living, family stress, your loss of confidence, mobility, and freedom. And this is why I care so much about this topic because bone health is not just about calcium or vitamin D. It's not just about a dexascan, it's not just about whether you have osteoporosis. Bone health is about vitality, it's about independence and strength, it's about your ability to walk and travel, play with your grandchildren, lift groceries, climb stairs, recover from a fall, and stay in your own life. And for women, estrogen is a major part of this story. So today we're talking about estrogen, bone health, perimenopause, menopause, and why I believe we need to be much more proactive with women before bone loss becomes a diagnosis. And this topic, it's really personal for me, also, because in my own family history, if you've listened to previous podcasts, you know I lost my mom and grandmother early to sudden cardiovascular disease. And when you lose women you love suddenly, it changes how you think about prevention, it changes how you think about aging in general, it changes how you think about what's happening inside your body long before the crisis shows up. And then, as a provider, I've seen the other side of aging too. I've cared for women in acute hospital settings. I've seen women go from living independently to needing assisted living. I've seen women move into memory care, and I've walked with families through hospice. I've watched adult children trying to make decisions they were not prepared to make, and I've heard the guilt, exhaustion, fear, the love, the stress. And I've even seen how one fall, one fracture, just one loss of mobility can change the entire trajectory of a woman's life. That stays with you. And because health is not just about living longer, it's about how well we live, it's about whether we can stay strong enough to participate in our own life. It's about whether our body can support our purpose. And I've said before, I don't just want to be here. I want to be here with vitality. I want to be here living and playing, laughing, traveling, enjoying my family and my grandbabies. I want to walk into the next decade with strength, clarity, energy, and independence. And I want that for every woman who chooses that for herself. That's why bone health matters. Because if we want women to age powerfully, we cannot ignore the skeleton that is literally holding us up. One of the biggest mistakes we make is thinking bone health is something to worry about when we're 70 or 80, but it's not. The consequences show up much earlier, especially for women, and especially during perimenopause and that transition into menopause. When women are in their 40s, 50s, they're usually not thinking how strong will my bones be when I'm 80. They're thinking about sleep, weight, mood, energy, hot flashes, their marriage, their libido, children, aging parents, their careers, stress, body changes. And I really understand that. But here's what I want women to hear. The perimenopausal and early menopausal window is one of the most important times to think about bone protection and overall chronic disease prevention. Not because we want to scare women, but because we want them to have the time they need, time to assess, act, and preserve and build if they needed to. Because it's much easier to protect bone than to try to rebuild poor quality bone after significant loss has already happened. And this is where prevention matters. This is where early action matters. This is where precision medicine and diagnostics matter. Because waiting until 65 for your first DEXA scan may be way too late for some women. Not all women, but some women. Estrogen is a whole body hormone. It affects the brain, the heart, blood vessels, your skin, your vaginal tissue, your joints, your muscle, and yes, your bones. Bone is a living tissue. It's constantly being remodeled. That means your body is always breaking down old bone and building new bone. There are cells called osteoclasts that break down bone, and there are cells called osteoblasts that build up bone. Healthy bone depends on that balance, breaking down and building up. Remodel and renew. Estrogen helps regulate that process. When estrogen declines, especially during perimenopause and menopause, bone breakdown can begin to outpace bone building. And that's when bone density can decline. But it's not just bone density, it's bone quality. The architecture of the bone can change. The strength of the bone can change, and the resilience of the bone can change. And this really matters because two women may have similar bone density numbers, but their fracture risk may not be the same. Depending on their bone quality, their muscle strength and balance, inflammation, medication, genetics, which play a huge part, nutrition and their fall risk. So when we talk about bone health, I don't want women to think only about calcium. It's bigger than calcium. This is estrogen, progesterone, muscle, protein, vitamin D, magnesium, K2, inflammation, strength training, which is so important. Your balance, insulin resistance plays a huge role. Your thyroid function is so important. Stress that you're under, your medication that you're taking, family history, and prevention. It's all connected. And here's where I think women really are being underserved. We often wait until menopause is official, and by official I mean 12 months without a period. But your hormones don't wait until the day you start changing. Perimenopause can begin years before your final menstrual cycle. And for many women, ovulation becomes more inconsistent too. Progesterone declines, estrogen starts to fluctuate. Sometimes estrogen is high, sometimes it drops low. Cycles can become very irregular. Sleep changes, moods change, anxiety increases, body composition starts to change, and somewhere in that transition, bone remodeling can also begin to shift. This is why I don't want women to wait until they are fully menopausal to think about bones. So by the time a woman is 12 months without a menstrual cycle, she may have already spent years in hormonal transition. And for some women, that's a window where bone loss becomes more aggressive. This is especially important if you have high risk factors, family history of osteoporosis, a mother or grandmother with a hip fracture, low body weight, early menopause, autoimmune disease, a history of eating disorders, long-term steroid use, long-term GLP1 use, thyroid disease, smoking, alcohol, poor protein intake, low muscle mass, frequent dieting, sedentary lifestyle, too, and of course, chronic stress and poor sleep. Because bone is not separate from the rest of your body. Your bones are listening to your hormones, your muscles, your nutrients, inflammation, your stress physiology, your metabolic health, how you move, your lifestyle, everything is truly all connected. And standard guidelines, well, they often recommend a bone density screening at 65. And for women, that let unless they've had a certain risk factor, they just don't justify testing earlier. And that is such a tragedy. But they're designed for large groups of people. They consider cost, access, risk, insurance, population level benefits. But when I'm sitting with a woman, I'm not treating a population, I'm treating the specific woman I'm working with, her family history, her symptoms, her hormonal transition, her body composition, her risks, her goals, and ultimately her future health. And for many women, especially women in their 40s and 50s, I believe it is worth having a conversation about baseline bone density earlier. Not because every woman needs aggressive treatment, not because every woman needs hormones, but because we want to get the information we need to identify if there's something we need to address. And information is powerful. So if you get a bone DEXA scan at 65 and it shows bone loss, you do not always know when that loss started. Was it gradual? Was it rapid? Did it start at 48 or 40? Did it accelerate after menopause? Is it related to estrogen decline? Or was it related to thyroid? Was it related to low protein and muscle loss? Or was it related to years of dieting? Or is it related just to your genetics? If we never establish a baseline, we lose the ability to track trajectory, and trajectory matters because a woman with mild bone loss at 75 is a different conversation than a woman with the same bone loss at age 50. Age truly matters. The rate of change matters. Your risk factors matter. And this is where women need individualized care. This is also where I want women to advocate for themselves. Ask about a bone density. Ask about your risk factors. Ask about your family history. Ask whether a baseline bone density makes sense for you. Ask about your muscle mass, your vitamin D levels. Look at your strength training exercises. Look at how you are exercising every day. Or maybe you're not, and that's something you need to consider. Look at your hormones. Ask about the whole picture because sometimes we don't get what we don't ask for, and women deserve to ask. Also, I really want to talk about GLP1s because this matters right now. GLP1 medications can be very helpful for some women. They support weight loss, appetite regulation, insulin resistance, cravings, and your metabolic health. But I'm concerned about how many women are losing weight without enough conversation about muscle, bone, and nutrient density. Because weight loss is not always fat loss. Sometimes it is fat, but sometimes it's muscle, sometimes it's water, sometimes it's a combination of all of them. And if a woman is in perimenopause or menopause, is rapidly losing weight, eating much less food, under-eating protein, not doing strength training or enough strength training, and not monitoring body composition, we may be celebrating the number on the scale while quietly losing the very tissue we need for long-term vitality. That's where the skinny fat conversation becomes so important. A woman can be smaller and still be metabolically unhealthy. She can lose weight and still lose muscle. She can fit into smaller genes but still have poor strength, low muscle mass, inflammation, insulin resistance, poor bone density, and low resilience. And that is not true health. That is just a smaller body without a stronger foundation. And that's not what I want for women. The goal is not just weight loss, the goal is fat loss while preserving muscle, protecting bone, improving insulin sensitivity, supporting hormones, and building your vitality. And that requires a plan, not just a prescription. That's why I get concerned when women use appetite suppression as the whole body strategy. Because when appetite goes down, nutrient density intake often goes down too. And if we're not intentionally looking at those things, women may eat less food, but also less protein, less calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, omegas, fiber, phytonutrients, and just fewer minerals. And that really matters because bone is not built from air, muscles not built from wishes, hormones aren't supported by chronic underfueling yourselves, mitochondria do not run well on nutrient depletion, and the body cannot repair, remodel, restore, detoxify, build strength, protect bone, and age well if it's not being nourished. And this is especially important in midlife because perimenopause and menopause already shift the playing field. Estrogen changes, progesterone changes, testosterone changes, sleep may change, insulin sensitivity may change, bone becomes harder to maintain, bone remodeling changes, and recovery changes. And then if we layer rapid weight loss on top of that without a nutritional strategy, we can create a problem. And this is why I tell women if you're using a GLP1, you need a muscle and bone protection plan. Protein is not optional, strength training is not optional, nutrient density foods are not optional. Bone composition really matters. You need to know whether you are losing fat, muscle, or both. You need to protect your bones while you're changing your body. And this is why I do not like when women think eating less is always better. Less is not always better, ladies. Better is better, more nutrient density foods are better, more protein-forward foods are better, more intentional eating nutrient-dense foods are better, more supportive to muscle and bone health. If you're eating less because your appetite is lower, then every bite you take has to matter more. Your plate needs to earn its place. That meal needs protein first, colorful plants, minerals, healthy fats and fiber, calcium-rich foods, vitamin D support, calcium, omegas, enough total nourishment to support your body, not just enough to shrink it. Because osteoporosis is not only driven by estrogen loss, nutritional deficiencies can also drive bone loss. Low protein can impair muscle and bone support. Low vitamin D can impair calcium absorption and bone mineralization. Low calcium intake can increase bone loss over time. And low magnesium can affect vitamin D metabolism and bone structure. Low vitamin K affects how calcium is used by the body. Low omega-3 intake affects inflammation balance, and low overall nutrient density weakens the entire system. And gut issues, well, that can make this worse because you may not absorb the nutrients well, even if you're eating them. This is why bone health is not a calcium supplement conversation, it's a nourishment conversation. It requires conversation around hormones, muscles, the gut, metabolic health, very important cellular health, and lifestyle. So if you're on a GLP1 or considering one, I'm not here to shame that at all. I'm here to say let's do it intelligently. Let's do it with support, with protein, with resistance training, with body composition tracking, attention to bone health, nutrient-dense foods, measure the right labs when appropriate, and plan for maintenance because the goal is not to become smaller or weaker. The goal is to become a stronger, healthier, more metabolically resilient version of yourself. That's the difference. At My Venus Club, we're not just asking how much weight did you lose? We're asking, did you preserve muscle? Did you protect bone? Did your insulin improve? Did inflammation calm down? Is your sleep better? Did your strength and energy improve? Did your overall body composition improve? Are you nourishing your body? Are you building a foundation that will carry you into the next decade? Because that's the conversation women deserve. Not just weight loss, vitality, not just being thinner, but stronger. Not just appetite suppression, but true metabolic health. And if we're going to use powerful tools like GLP1s, we need powerful foundations to protect the woman using them. It's so important. Now let's talk about hormone therapy because this conversation has been confusing for many women. For years, women were told hormones were dangerous. Then women were told hormones were the answers to everything. Neither extreme is helpful. We need nuance. Not every woman needs hormone therapy. Not every woman is a candidate. Not every woman wants it. And that's Okay, but we also need to be honest that estrogen plays a major role in bone protection for many women and overall vitality as we age. So when estrogen declines, bone loss can accelerate. And for some women, especially women at higher risk for osteopenia or osteoporosis, hormone therapy may be a part of a bone protective strategy. But there is a part I really want women to hear. Timing matters. Hormone therapy is not something we should casually ignore during the menopausal transition and then assume we can safely start decades later without thinking through the risks. There appears to be a window where hormone therapy may have a more favorable benefit risk profile for many healthy women, generally before age 60 or within about 10 years of menopausal onset when there's no contraindication. So we want to look at the whole person, the whole picture. That doesn't mean every woman should take hormones, but it does mean the timing conversation matters because waiting until a woman is well beyond menopause can change the risk profile. For women who start hormone therapy more than 10 years after menopause or after age 60, the risk-benefit ratio may be less favorable. In that group of women, research and guidelines have raised more concern about higher absolute risk for heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and dementia. And that's why I do not want women to wait until they're 65 or 75 to have their first serious conversation about hormones, bones, heart disease risk, and prevention. By then we may have missed an important window. And this is especially important for bone health because the most aggressive bone loss often happens around the menopausal transition, the years leading into menopause, and the years just after. So if we wait until menopause is long behind us, we may be trying to recover bone that would have been easier to preserve much earlier in life. That's a completely different conversation. Preserving bone and rebuilding bone are not the same thing. Protecting the quality of bone early is not the same as trying to restore fragile bone later. And this is why I want women in their 40s and 50s to pay attention. Not to panic, but pay attention. If you're in perimenopause, if your cycles are changing, if you're having symptoms, if you have a family history of osteoporosis, if you've had early menopause, or if you're losing muscle, if you're losing weight rapidly, if you've got long-term steroid use or thyroid issues, autoimmune disease, gut issues, or a history of low body weight, then bone health and hormone timing should be an absolute part of the conversation now. Not someday, but now. Hormone therapy should always be individualized. We have to consider your symptoms, your age, timing since menopause, personal and family history, heart risk, breast cancer risk, clotting risk, blood pressure, your metabolism, your uterine status, bone density, the route of delivery, your absorption, your hormones, how you feel. This is why I believe hormone therapy should not be casual. It should not be fear-based, and it should not be a one size fits all. It should be thoughtful, monitored, personalized, and part of a larger plan because estrogen may help support bone, but hormones alone do not replace strength training. They don't replace protein or vitamin D or balanced work, inflammation, metabolic health, sleep, cellular health. They are one piece, an important piece for some women, but still only one piece to the health puzzle. So the message is not everyone needs hormones, and the message isn't no one should take hormones. The message is this: do not wait until you're far beyond menopause to start asking serious questions. And don't let fear keep you from being educated. Don't let hype make the decision for you either. Have the conversation early. Understand your risks, know your bone density, know your heart disease risk, know your hormone patterns, and absolutely know your options because informed women make better decisions. And when it comes to bone health, timing matters. That's why advanced testing really matters. One of the things I want women to understand is that hormone dosing and hormone absorption also can vary. Two women can use the same dose and not get the same results. One woman may absorb a patch well, another may not. One woman may do better with a different route. She may feel better with an oral or maybe a cream. It just depends. Another may have a different strategy. That's why I believe monitoring really matters. Advanced diagnostic testing really matters. Understanding what your body needs really matters. Not because we want to chase numbers, but because we want to know what's happening inside. If a woman is taking estrogen for symptoms only, sometimes the symptom response tells us a lot. Are the hot flashes better? Is her sleep improved? Vaginal dryness and libido better, mood improved. But if part of the goal is bone protection, cardiovascular disease prevention, brain health, or long-term health optimization, then I think we need a more thoughtful conversation. What is the dose doing? Is she really absorbing it? How is she metabolizing it and detoxifying it from her body? Is progesterone adequate if she has a uterus? Is estrogen being cleared? Like the detox, the clearing of the estrogens not being used is so important. The same for adrenals and cortisol. And what's happening with inflammation? What's happening with inflammation and insulin? What's happening with the bone density, the body composition? And that's why my Venus Club, we don't just prescribe and pray. We look deeper, we use testing and we monitor your response. We look at the whole woman because hormone therapy without context is absolutely incomplete. And women deserve complete answers. Now, estrogen matters, and bone health is not only estrogen. This is where I want women to really feel empowered, not helpless. Because there are things you can do. Strong bones require a strong signal. And one of the strongest signals for bone is resistance training, lifting weights, putting safe, progressive load through your entire body. Walking is wonderful. I absolutely love walking myself, but walking alone is usually not enough to build bone in the way women need. Your bones need to be challenged, your muscles need to pull on bones. That mechanical stress tells the body we need to stay strong. Protein matters too. If you're under-eating protein, you're not giving your body the building blocks it needs for muscle, tissue repair, immune function, hormone metabolism, and to support your bones. Then you have vitamin D, magnesium, K2, calcium. We need the right amount from the food first. Food when at all possible. I always say let your food be your medicine. And then gut health matters because nutrient absorption matters. Inflammation matters because chronic inflammation can worsen bone breakdown. And your thyroid matters because too much thyroid hormone can accelerate bone loss. Alcohol, smoking, that matters because that all contributes to inflammation, contributes to cellular dysfunction, and bone breakdown. Balance matters, fall prevention matters. Your vision is important. That is part to fall prevention. Foot strength, core strength. This is not about one supplement or one specific hormone. It's about building a body that's hard to break, and that's the goal. Not fragile, not fearful. You want to be strong, stable, resilient, and capable. So if you're listening and you're in your 40s or 50s, I want you to pay attention now. There is a difference. I want you to ask about your family history. Did your mom have osteoporosis? Did your grandmother break a hip? Did anyone in your family have a spine fracture? Was there height loss? Did you notice a family member shrinking, so to speak? How about long-term steroid use or early menopause for yourself? Do you have thyroid disease or autoimmune disease? Ask these questions and look at your risk factors. Are you in perimenopause? Are your cycles changing? Are you losing or having a difficult time maintaining muscle mass? Are you frequently dieting? Are you on a GLP1 and losing weight quickly? Are you eating enough protein and strength training? Do you drink alcohol or smoke? How about what's your vitamin D level? And do you have gut issues? Have you had an early hysterectomy or oophorectomy? Do you have thyroid issues? Maybe on thyroid medication? What is your thyroid look like? These are questions not to scare you. They're questions to help you build a strategy because prevention starts with awareness, then action, then consistency. And at my Venus Club, that's exactly why we look at the whole woman. Because bone health is not separate from hormone health. Hormone health is not separate from metabolic health. Metabolic health isn't separate from muscle building and muscle mass. And muscle isn't separate from insulin. Insulin is not separate from inflammation. Inflammation is not separate from heart disease and cellular health. And it's definitely not separate from aging. It's all connected. That's why we use advanced diagnostics. We look at hormones, we look at genetics, we look at epigenetics, we look at cellular health, we look at your body composition, we look at nutrition and movement. All that's built into the program personalized just for you. This is why we talk about protein, strength training, fiber, water, all nutrition, so important. It's why we talk about stress and sleep and mind-body connection. This is why we just don't hand women a prescription and say good luck, because women deserve better than fragmented care. They deserve a plan, a plan that understands their biology wherever they are in the season of their life, a plan that protects vitality, a plan that supports prevention and helps them stay strong, mobile, clear, independent, and fully alive, feeling like themselves, filled with vitality. And that's the difference. So if there's one thing I want you to hear today, it's this. Don't wait until a fracture to care about your bones. Don't wait until you're 65 if you already have risk factors. Don't wait until your body forces the conversation. Start asking better questions now. Ask about your bone density, your hormones, your muscle mass, your nutrient density. Ask about your risk. Think about your future because your bones are not just about your skeleton, they're about your freedom and independence, your confidence, your ability to move through the world, the ability to live the life that you really want to live. And this is why I believe women's health has to change. We can't keep waiting for disease. We can't keep calling early detection, prevention. We can't keep ignoring the silent changes happening in women's bodies during perimenopause and menopause. We need to be proactive and precise and honest. And we need to help women understand that protecting bone is not an old woman conversation. It's a vitality and longevity conversation. It's a conversation about living a wonderful health span. So as we close today, I want you to remember this: your bones are living tissue. They are responding every day to your hormones, your movement, your nutrition, your sleep, stress, inflammation, the medication you take, the supplements you take, and your overall lifestyle. And the choices you make in perimenopause and menopause really matters. Not because you need to be perfect, because you don't, but you deserve to age with strength, mobility, independence, and to feel powerful in your body. You deserve to know what's happening before something breaks down. So keep building your foundations, keep prioritizing protein, lifting weights, walking, protecting your sleep, checking your vitamins, keep asking questions, advocating for yourself. Learn how your body is changing. And please remember this you can't optimize what you don't understand. And women deserve to understand. Thank you for joining me today for this incredibly important conversation.
