Most recently, she and her team launched Phoenix Hipwear Active, designed for women 55+ who want to stay active through walking, hiking, biking, traveling, and pickleball while reducing their fracture risk.

  • Sarcopenia and Aging: Understanding Muscle Loss and Bone Health

    Sarcopenia and Aging: Understanding Muscle Loss and Bone Health
    May 28 2025
    This Bone Talk episode explores the important connection between bone health and sarcopenia, a condition that causes significant loss of muscle mass and strength beyond normal aging. Guest expert Dr. Stuart Phillips, a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at McMaster University, shares insights from decades of research on how exercise and nutrition influence muscle and body composition. Although osteoporosis often gets more attention, sarcopenia also plays a major role in mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Dr. Phillips explains how even small amounts of regular physical activity can make a meaningful difference as we age.
