Description

For midlife women, the risk of fractures due to osteoperosis are high, with some estimates as high as 1 of every 2 women.

But, if you get a diagnosis of osteoporosis, while it's scary, it's not necessarily an emergency says Dr. John Neustadt, a researcher, integrative medical expert, and best selling author in the field of Osteoporosis.

As a special gift to my audience, Dr. Neustadt is offering a free copy of his new book Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Osteoporosis. You can grab it here.

Some of the things we discussed on the show:

• The greatest misconceptions about osteoporosis.
• Why some anti-depressants can increase the risk of fractures.
• The danger of a "pharmacy first" philosophy that many doctors have.
• Research-based ways to maintain strong bones.

We also discussed what suplements women in midlife should be taking and how to be an educated consumer when shopping for them.
