Most screening, though, takes place much later and often when osteoporosis and osteopenia have already set in. In this episode, I challenge the ideas that bone loss is only a symptom of osteoporosis, we simply need to take more calcium to build bone, and that HRT alone - or even strength training alone - are all we need to think about when it comes to protecting and rebuilding our bones. Other hormones like cortisol and thyroid, oxidative stress and inflammation, and other nutrients like protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin D are all crucial to address as well. Learn why we need to reconsider how and when we test for bone loss, how specifically we are lifting, and what we can eat to improve our bone health.    Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr Brooke Show #254  How To Get Better at Stress, Part 1 Dr Brooke Show #408  Value Driven
