Have you ever been told you have osteopenia and immediately felt your stomach drop? Or maybe you’ve never even had a bone scan and you’re thinking, ‘I feel fine, so my bones must be fine… right?’”

Today is the first episode in a 5 part bone health series, and we are going to start with screening, interpretation, and context, because bone health is one of the most misunderstood, and underestimated, aspects of women’s health in midlife. 

We cover:

• When bone density screening should start and why baselines matter

• How bone scans, like DEXA, work and what they actually measure

• The difference between T-scores and Z-scores and why context matters

• Bone density vs bone quality, and why fractures aren’t just about numbers

• Actual risk factors for fractures and what we can do about it
