Strong Bones Start Here

I’m hearing it more and more these days: women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s being told they have osteopenia or osteoporosis. Sometimes it’s discovered during a routine bone scan. Other times, it follows a small fall or fracture that shouldn’t have happened. 

And the reaction is always the same — frustration, fear, and the question: “What can I do about it?”

Like most diagnoses we face, yes, it can be scary, but it can also be frustrating.  Sometimes that frustration turns inward.

We ask ourselves, what could I have done to prevent this?  

But rather than obsessing about the past, it's time to think about the future - and figure out exactly what we can do, because …we are not powerless.  

And probably a lot more resilient than we realize.  

Our bodies really do have the capacity to change … with the right inputs … at any age. 

And honestly, it's that agency we have - that sense of control - that is really exciting for all of us.

Bone density isn’t fixed. Muscle isn’t static. Our bodies respond to the right signals - no matter our age - and strength training is the single most powerful signal we can send.
