Summary

The menopause transition is a critical tipping point for bone health. Bone loss accelerates rapidly in late perimenopause and continues for roughly 3 to 5 years after menopause begins–a window in which some women lose up to 20% of their total bone mass. For too long, society accepted this decline as inevitable. That fragility is our fate. That as women, our stature–and our lives and our worlds–just shrink as we age. Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, founder of Brick House Bones, is on a mission to change that. After a surprise osteopenia diagnosis of her own, she rebuilt her bone density by 3% in a single year. Now she’s helping tens of thousands of women reclaim their skeletal strength, too, including those navigating uniquely challenging circumstances like cancer recovery. She shares her recipe for maintaining and building strong bones this week.

Dr. Lisa Moore, DPT, is on a mission to help over one million people with low bone density turn fear into action—and build the strength to do the things they love with the people they love! She’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a certified yoga and mindfulness educator, and a BoneFit™ Trained Healthcare Professional specializing in evidence-based exercise for osteoporosis. Lisa is the founder of Brick House Bones, a global movement helping women build stronger bodies and stronger bones. She also runs her own clinic, Strong Bones Physical Therapy, just outside of Seattle, Washington. With degrees from the University of Maine, the University of Washington, and the University of South Dakota, Lisa brings together science, movement, compassion, and community to help her clients thrive at every age.
