Breaking Down Bone Health: The Role of Nutrition, Exercise, and REMS Technology (Part 2)

Breaking Down Bone Health: The Role of Nutrition, Exercise, and REMS Technology (Part 2)

Are you being told your bones are “fine” but still worried about fractures? Have you wondered whether bone density scans actually tell the whole story about your bone health?

In this episode of the Hormone Wellness MD Podcast, Dr. Polly Watson is joined by orthopedic surgeon and bone health expert Dr. Andrew Bush to explore how we truly measure bone strength and fracture risk. Together, they explain why focusing on structure, muscle, and prevention—not just numbers—can help you protect your bones long before problems start.

🌸 Bone density does not always equal bone strength, and a “normal” scan does not guarantee low fracture risk. 🌸 Newer tools like fragility scores look at bone structure, not just density, to better predict fractures. 🌸 Bone loss can begin in perimenopause, making early screening and awareness critical. 🌸 Exercise, especially resistance training, is the only proven way to build healthy, physiologic bone. 🌸 Hormones and supplements support bone health but cannot replace the effects of muscle and movement. 🌸 Understanding absolute versus relative risk helps patients make clearer, more informed treatment decisions.

If you’re in midlife, navigating menopause, or trying to prevent osteoporosis rather than react to it, this episode offers clarity, reassurance, and practical guidance rooted in real-world medicine.
