She explains why the drop in oestrogen accelerates bone breakdown, why osteopenia is far from “nothing to worry about,” and how fractures become a major driver of loss of independence and early mortality.\nMikki walks through the non-negotiables for stronger bones: the right kind of exercise (hint: walking alone won’t cut it), why sleep is a critical bone-building tool, and how protein, calcium, vitamin D, K2, magnesium, collagen, creatine and omega-3s all fit together. She also covers meds, alcohol, smoking, and what realistic “reversal” of osteopenia looks like in your 50s, 60s and 70s.\nEpisode Highlights\nHow much bone density women typically lose after menopause\nThe most effective training mix: resistance, impact, and where weighted vests/vibration fit\nThe surprising role of sleep and stress in bone building\nProtein, calcium, K2, D, magnesium, collagen, creatine & omega-3 for bone health\nWhy osteopenia can be improved—and what success really looks like","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/5uUjJw6NUZC5FWMQgLCI47ibFa6tBB2C0z8A_feCZiY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wNjI2/NTEwMjAyMWQ2M2Iy/ZjliYjA4ZGFhMTBh/N2E2Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
