71. Can You Reverse Bone Loss After 40? Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein (as seen on Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Podcast)

This episode is for you if you’re a woman over 40 looking to prevent and treat osteoporosis and arthritis. We learn how perimenopause and menopause impact our bones and joints.

Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein is an orthopedic surgeon specialized in sports medicine and associate professor of orthopaedic surgery at Duke University School of Medicine.

Dr. Wittstein is co-investigator with Dr. Anne Ford of Duke Women’s Health for the Duke Musculoskeletal Systems of Menopause Registry. She is president of the Forum: Women in Sports Medicine, co-author of The Complete Bone and Joint Health Plan and a mom of 5! Her husband is also an orthopaedic surgeon.

We learn:

How perimenopause and menopause impact bone and joint health
Menopause leads to a decline in estrogen, impacting bone density
Women lose bone density at an accelerated rate post-menopause
Resistance training is crucial for maintaining bone health
Hormone therapy can help reduce joint pain and improve bone density
Frozen shoulder is more common in women during menopause
Nutrition plays a significant role in bone health; limit red meat
Supplements like vitamin D and magnesium can support bone health
GLP-1 agonists may have protective effects on bones and joints
It’s never too late to strength train for bone health
A DEXA scan can provide valuable information about bone density
