Can resveratrol prevent bone loss? What the research really shows

In this episode, Monica breaks down the latest research on resveratrol and bone loss prevention. While the 2020 RESHAW study in Australia showed promising results for postmenopausal women, a more recent meta-analysis tells a different story. We separate the supplement hype from the evidence-based nutrition strategies that actually protect your skeleton as you age.

Key Takeaways:

The RESHAW Breakdown: Why 150 mg of resveratrol led to modest gains in hip and spine density—and why you’d need a lot of wine to replicate it.
10-Year Fracture Risk: How to use the FRAX calculator to estimate your likelihood of a major fracture as part of your longevity strategy.
The Meta-Analysis Reality Check: Why mashing up 10 human trials suggests resveratrol might not be the "magic pill" for bone density.
The "Healthspan" Levers: Why protein timing, Fibermaxxing, and Vitamin K remain the gold standards for sarcopenia prevention and bone strength.
