Asking for a Friend - Health, Fitness & Personal Growth Tips for Women in Midlife

Have you already been diagnosed with osteoporosis or have a strong family history for fracture? Join me as I sit down with Rebekah Rotstein, the inspiring founder of Buff Bones, who shares her personal journey of overcoming an osteoporosis diagnosis in her twenties. She offers invaluable insights on bone health, especially through menopause. Discover the early interventions and consistent self-care strategies that Rebekah's own mother has employed, which played a profound role in bouncing back from a hip replacement.
We debunk common myths about osteoporosis and osteopenia, stressing that these conditions aren’t just concerns for the elderly. Tune in to understand the critical risk factors and proactive measures necessary for maintaining bone density at any age, and learn why physical fitness is pivotal for daily activities and caregiving.
What’s the secret to better balance and muscle health? We break down the three primary systems of balance and discuss the importance of joint alignment. Rebekah shares her personal tips for enhancing balance through daily exercises. From the complexities of vitamin D supplementation to the overlooked role of fascia in muscle health, Rebekah offers a holistic view of maintaining bone and muscle integrity.
