158: Practical Tips for Decluttering with Katy Wells

Bone density predicts less than half of fractures in women. So if that’s what your doctor is measuring… what’s causing the rest? In this episode, I sit down with bone health expert Dr. John Neustadt to talk about what most women aren’t told about osteoporosis, fracture risk, and medication decisions. If you’re in perimenopause, menopause, this conversation matters. We discuss: • When women really start losing bone • Why 95% of fractures happen after a fall • How antidepressants and acid blockers may increase fracture risk • The Mediterranean diet and its link to lower hip fracture risk • Whether osteoporosis can be reversed • The real benefits and risks of medications like Fosamax, Prolia, and Zometa • The difference between primary and secondary fracture prevention • Why a diagnosis of osteoporosis is serious — but not an emergency Osteoporosis is more than a bone density score. It’s about fracture risk, strength, balance, nutrition, and informed decision-making. You have time to educate yourself and build a plan that makes sense for you.
