Most women don’t think about bone health until menopause — but bone loss often begins much earlier. In Part 1 of this two‑part conversation, we’re breaking down why women start losing bone density in their 30s and the quiet factors that impact our bones long before a diagnosis ever shows up.

We talk about how hormones, stress, pregnancy, and lifestyle habits all play a role — and why so many women are caught off guard by osteopenia or osteoporosis later in life. This episode is about awareness, prevention, and understanding what’s actually happening inside your body so you can take a proactive approach to aging strong.

We explore:

• Why peak bone mass matters and what happens after age 30

• How common osteopenia and osteoporosis really are in women

• Why women are more vulnerable to bone loss than men

• The role of estrogen and early hormonal shifts

• Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and long‑term nutrient depletion

• How chronic stress and cortisol impact bone health

• Lifestyle habits that quietly weaken bones over time

This conversation sets the foundation — because you can’t change what you don’t understand.

This is Part 1 of a 2‑part series. In Part 2, we shift into practical strategies for strengthening and protecting your bones through nutrition, supplements, training, and gut health.
