Welcome to another episode of Midlife Unleashed! Today, we're tackling a topic that's often overlooked but crucial for health and vitality, bone density, especially for women over 40. Our guest is Doug Dorsey, who reveals why bone loss is often called the "silent crisis." With no warning signs or pain, many women don't realize there's a problem until a fracture occurs. In this conversation, we explore why prevention is key, the risks women face during perimenopause and menopause, and why bone health deserves our attention now, not later. Doug shares how to assess your risk, the lifestyle and nutrition habits that make all the difference, and practical steps to stay strong, independent, and healthy for years to come. If you've ever wondered when to worry about your bones, what myths might be holding you back, or which habits pack the biggest punch for lifelong strength, this episode is for you!
