About this listen
According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 will suffer from fragility fractures, including hip fractures, which are the most severe. Shockingly, around 24% of women who experience a hip fracture die within one year, and 40% of those who survive lose the ability to walk independently. This is why we need to address the topics of osteoporosis and menopause together, as they are deeply connected to a woman’s health - whether you are 20, 40, 60 or older.
In this week's episode, we hear from Katharine Bright, a nutritional therapist specialising in midlife health with a special interest in bone health. Katherine talks about why menopausal women are more at risk of osteoporosis, and what they can do to help prevent fractures and disease progression with positive lifestyle changes, as well as targeted supplements like bonebalance.
