Receiving an osteoporosis diagnosis can feel overwhelming, frightening, and isolating. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson shares the real stories she hears from women every day and explains why a DEXA scan should be the beginning of the conversation—not the end.
Debi discusses common misconceptions surrounding osteoporosis, why bone health requires a whole-body approach, and how lifestyle factors such as gut health, nutrition, movement, stress, sleep, and hormone health all influence bone remodeling.
