Could your bones be getting weaker without you even knowing it?
Osteoporosis and osteopenia affect millions of Americans, often developing silently until a fall or fracture reveals the damage. But what if you could take proactive steps today to protect your bone density, maintain your mobility, and preserve your independence as you age?
In this episode of The Harmony with Food Show, registered dietitian and functional nutritionist Meg Marie explores the science of osteoporosis prevention, bone loss after menopause, and the nutrients that support stronger, healthier bones. Meg explains the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis, why bone density declines with age, and how DEXA scans and T-scores can help you better understand your bone health.

Plus, discover emerging research on microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC), a calcium-containing compound being studied for its potential role in supporting bone density and bone structure.
