In this episode, Rebakah Rotstein of Buff Bones and I discuss:

  1. What osteoporosis/osteopenia is
  2. Rebekah’s own story with osteoporosis
  3. Are medications needed?
  4. What you need to be asking your doctor about
  5. How significant exercise needs to be in your life


Osteoporosis can exist with osteoarthritis, the problem is- osteoporosis can go undetected for a long time. Unless you have a fracture, it may be difficult to know if you have the condition. With osteoarthritis, many people reduce their physical activity significantly due to pain which can open you up to developing osteopenia/osteoporosis.


I did an earlier episode (episode #5) on osteoporosis and osteoarthritis which you can listen to here: https://osteoarthritis.buzzsprout.com/1886674/9652236-you-are-more-at-risk-for-osteoporosis-exactly-what-you-need-to-know-to-prevent-and-manage-it-with-osteoarthritis
