In this episode, functional and integrative medicine physician Dr. Anita Sadaty breaks down what osteopenia and osteoporosis really are, why midlife bone loss accelerates, and exactly what you can do to prevent, slow, and even rebuild bone.

We cover hormone changes (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), the role of vitamin D + calcium + K2, how sleep, stress, and inflammation tip the balance between bone breakdown and bone building, and why protein and strength training are non-negotiable.

We also discuss early screening, medications that impact fracture risk (SSRIs, PPIs, steroids, benzos, anti-seizure meds), the nuance on calcium supplementation, the higher-dose K2 used in research, HRT as a first-line option for eligible women, and the surprising link between social connection and fracture recovery.

You'll learn: practical nutrition targets, training ideas you can do without a gym, why 7–9 hours of sleep is a bone-health tool, and what labs to ask for at your next blood test.
