S03_E07 - The Bone Zone: Insights on Osteoporosis and Healthy Bones
Ever wonder why we shrink in old age? Is it true that astronauts lose bone mass in space? And does all milk have the same amount of calcium? There are over 200 bones in the human body and it's safe to say each plays a pretty important role, so of course it's important to keep them healthy! But what's the best way to go about that? What are some of the things that can go wrong with them? And what is a "T-score" anyway?
Thankfully, on Episode 7 of the show, we'll be joined by Endocrinologist and author, Dr. Ann Kearns (MD, PhD), of Hennepin Healthcare to help get some information and advice on our precious frames. We'll go over the best practices for keeping our bones healthy, the common causes when things go awry, and options available to us in the event that they do. Doctor Kearns literally wrote the book on Osteoporosis, which you can find here! We all have bones, and we all age, so there's a ton of essential information here for everyone. We hope you'll join us!
Got a question for the doc? Or an idea for a show? We're all ears...
