1 in 2 Women Will Fracture a Bone After 50: Here's the Evidence-Based Solution - Episode 047
🎙️ Episode 47:
One in two women over the age of 50 will suffer an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime. One in five men. Not might, will! And yet most people walking around right now have no idea their bones are quietly becoming more fragile. No symptoms, no warning, until there is one.
In this episode, Chris explains what osteoporosis actually is, why the stakes are higher than most people realise, and, most importantly, what you can do right now to change the trajectory of your bone health.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What osteoporosis actually is and how it differs from normal age-related bone loss
- Why a wrist fracture in your fifties could be your body’s most important warning signal
- Why walking and swimming alone are not enough to protect your bones
- The three principles that make resistance training so effective for bone density
- Why fear of movement after a diagnosis is one of the biggest risks of all
- The one type of exercise that is contraindicated for people with spinal osteoporosis
