Why strong bones save lives, with Kate Muir

Why strong bones save lives, with Kate Muir

With 50% of women over the age of 50 expected to get a fracture due to osteoporosis, women's health expert and campaigner Kate Muir joins Liz to ask why our bone health isn't getting airtime.


Kate and Liz discuss how our hormones can help to protect our bones, why we need to include bone flexibility in conversations about density, plus why midlife women especially need to lift weights.


The episode also covers the cost of osteoporosis on the NHS, how ethnicity impacts the onset of menopause, and lifestyle factors that may impact younger woman's bones in later life.
