Bone Health
Within the Her Vitality program, bone health is assessed alongside your hormones and metabolic health, and hormone and other therapies may help protect it.
We focus on bone health across four areas.
Bone-density assessment
Hormonal and metabolic contributors
Nutrition and strength
A personalized protection plan
Everything in the program
- Physician bone-health assessment and history
- Bone-density testing (DEXA) where appropriate
- Bloodwork (hormonal, vitamin D and bone-relevant markers)
- A personalized plan covering nutrition, strength and, where appropriate, treatment
The transition is measurable
Bone loss speeds up around menopause, but it can be measured and slowed. The figures below reflect published research.
OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURE OVER 50
1 in 3 women over 50 will have an osteoporotic fracture.
BONE LOSS AT MENOPAUSE
Up to 20% of bone loss can occur during the menopause transition.
ESTROGEN AND BONE
Estrogen decline speeds bone loss and raises fracture risk.
STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength training helps protect and build bone at any age.
Informational reference only; not medical advice. Individual risk should be assessed and managed by a clinician.
