Bone health starts now
Episode 10
Wednesday, 18 March, 2026
Send a textBones don’t complain until they break—so we went straight to the source to decode how to measure, protect, and strengthen them before trouble starts. Dr. Thacker sits down with Dr. Kristi Tough-DeSapri, a leading women’s bone health specialist, to break down what DEXA really tells us, how trabecular bone score adds vital nuance about bone quality, and where newer ultrasound-based REMS fits when access is limited.Strong bones start with fundamentals—calcium, vitamin D, protein, resistance and impact training, and fall prevention—but often need targeted therapy to truly cut fracture risk. We cover where hormone therapy can help near menopause, how SERMs and antiresorptives reduce fractures, and when bone-building agents are warranted.Support the show
