Are you doing everything right and still struggling with your bone health? You’re not alone.
In this solo episode of Talk to Vicky, RHN: A Total Approach to Wellness, I get personal about my own borderline osteopenia diagnosis and what it’s taught me about the journey to stronger bones—and a stronger life.
From the foods we eat (hello, plain Greek yogurt) to the sneaky nutrient thieves in our diet and lifestyle (we see you, soda pop and stress), I break down why bone health isn’t just for women “of a certain age”—it’s a lifelong mission. Whether you’re in your 30s or your 60s, this episode is a heartfelt wake-up call to take your bone density seriously and start making informed, empowering choices for your body.
🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:
- Bone Health is a Lifelong Journey. From childbearing years to menopause, every stage of life affects your bone mineral density. Learn why your twenties, thirties, and beyond all matter.
