Ep. 467 Bone & Joint Health Tips for Women 40+ with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein

Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Joycelyn Wittstein, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and associate professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Duke who conducts NIH-funded research into post-traumatic knee arthritis. She has shared presentations at many prestigious medical conferences, and her work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals. In our discussion, we dive into many of the joint pain symptoms Dr. Wittstein sees in her perimenopausal and menopausal patients, and we look at the impact of specific, targeted supplementations, including curcumin, collagen peptides, and creatine monohydrate. We explore effusions, the effects of osteoarthritic risk factors like prior injuries, obesity, the perimenopause to menopause transition, and the impact of GLP-1s on joint symptoms and bone physiology. We discuss REDS (Relative Energy Deficiency Syndrome) and the causes of osteoporosis, and Dr. Wittstein also shares what she does to protect her bones and why she believes DEXA scans must get done early in the aging trajectory, why fractures can be problematic, and the significance of exercise and bone-building foods. You will not want to miss today’s valuable and super action-oriented conversation with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How women in their mid-40s and 50s often experience an acute increase in joint pain How hormone therapy can help women improve their bone health, prevent osteoporosis, and overcome joint pain Dr. Wittstein recommends supplements for reducing joint inflammation Various foods that can drive inflammation and cause joint health problems How the inflammatory state of obesity impacts joint health The benefits of GLP-1s for those with joint pain from inflammation Why early bone density screening is essential for women in their 40s How creatine monohydrate improves cognitive function and muscle mass The value of strength training and balance exercises for improving joint health The best foods and beverages for bone-building Bio: Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein I am an associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at Duke University Medical Center.
