Well Beyond 40 with JJ Virgin

On Well Beyond 40, JJ Virgin and Dr. Doug Lucas run through a rapid-fire round of myths about bone health and osteoporosis after menopause. Dr. Doug explains why calcium alone is not the answer, why walking is not enough to rebuild bone, and why a normal DEXA scan doesn't always mean you are safe from fractures.

They also talk about why osteoporosis is not limited to thin, older women, and why GLP-1s are not the direct cause of bone loss, though severe calorie restriction and low protein can be. The takeaway: bone loss is not something you have to accept, and the right lifestyle plan protects your strength and independence.
