Did you know that approximately 10 million Americans have Osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density? In women, the incidence of low bone density is greater than that of heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer combined! BUT…it IS totally possible to prevent and actually, prevention is the best place to be!

Kevin Ellis is THE one and only BONE COACH and we are diving in on JUST THAT! This is a HUGE topic for women in midlife and truly, anyone! Tune in and learn what you can start doing today for better bone health.

What is the difference between Osteoporosis and Osteopenia? 

Osteopenia is when your bones are weaker than normal but not so bad that they break really easily – the hallmark of osteoporosis.

Osteopenia is a loss of bone mineral density that weakens bones. It's more common in people older than 50, especially women.

Osteoporosis literally means porous bone and is characterized by either not enough bone formation, excessive loss, or a combination of the two. Osteoporosis implies that both your bone density and bone quality are reduced, which significantly increases your risk of fracture. 

How do you know if you have Osteoporosis and Osteopenia? 

The diagnosis differentiation typically comes from a bone density scan. But the down side of a regular bone density scan is that it doesn’t tell you the quality or integrity of your bones. To determine that, you want to add on the TBS or REMS to your regular bone density scan if the place you’re taking the test has that software available! To test if you are actively losing bone right now, you can look for bone turnover markers like the Serum CTX in blood tests. Osteoporosis itself is a “silent” condition…BUT…you can have bone fractures or a number of other conditions with it that WILL cause pain.  

Is it possible to prevent or reverse Osteoporosis and Osteopenia? 

It is totally possible to prevent and actually, prevention is the best place to be! “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”  And yes, you can build bone strength at any age, it just becomes more challenging the older you are, and it is NOT a “happens overnight” type thing.

This and so much more on the episode!
