Summary

As a woman you can lose up to 20% of your bone density during the five to seven years following menopause. Given the fact that we hit peak bone density by age 30, we can’t go back in time and build more, but we can take steps right now to hang onto what we have to keep our skeleton strong and resilient.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers,
0:19.7	and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:29.5	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:32.2	So in case you missed it, we just passed our one year anniversary for hit play not pause and we are closing in on a half
0:42.1	a million plays in our first year and it's hard for me to thank you all enough but i wanted to take a
0:48.1	second and just say thank you and here is to another great year together okay Okay. So this week we are talking bone health,

1:40.7	an osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease specialist, Dr. Alana Serota, who is also a
1:46.4	certified menopause practitioner. I think my biggest takeaways here were that if you do get
1:53.3	diagnosed with low bone density, and I know lots of you have, because I've heard from you in my
1:58.7	direct messages and on the social media channels and in the
2:01.4	membership and it can feel very blind siding. It's not a slippery slope to osteoporosis.
2:08.4	And if you do get diagnosed with osteoporosis, there is still plenty you can do. And the best thing
