Osteopenia in Your 40s: What Your Bone Scan Missed - Karen Martel & Dr. Fiona Lovely - Part 1
About this episode
Did a bone scan come back with the word osteopenia, and your first thought was, wait, I'm way too young for this? Have you been told your bones are fine, but have no idea what this bone scan is all about?
We cover:
-
Why bone loss can start way earlier than almost anyone warns you about
-
The scan most doctors order, and what it can quietly miss about your real bone strength
-
Bone density versus bone quality, and why that difference actually matters
-
The estrogen and bone connection nobody seems to explain clearly
-
Whether a tiny starter dose of HRT is really doing anything for your bones
