Optimizing Your Hormones for Better Bones

Happy Bones, Happy Life

Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining bone density and overall skeletal strength. However, menopause causes a significant drop in women's hormone levels, leading to increased bone loss. Is there a way to optimize your hormone levels even during menopause?

In this episode, we explore how balancing hormones can significantly improve bone health based on insights from Dr. Lorraine Maita. She is a writer, author, speaker, and award-winning healthcare advocate. Also known as the Hormone Harmonizer, she specializes in helping women have boundless energy, stable moods, a lean body, a sharp mind, deep sleep, clear, glowing skin, and balanced hormones to feel like themselves again.

Her own struggles with pain, gut health, and hormone imbalance prompted her to go deeper and learn Anti-Aging Regenerative and Functional Medicine, Advanced Endocrinology, and science-backed Integrative health techniques. She helps you understand how your lifestyle choices impact your mind and body so you can choose what makes you feel great.
