Summary
The Menopause Mastery Show | The Fracture Risks Most Women Miss | Episode 282 with Dr. John Neustadt 🌿Welcome to The Menopause Mastery Show! 💊 What if some of the most commonly prescribed medications are quietly increasing your fracture risk? In this Menopause Mastery episode, Dr. John Neustadt joins Dr. Betty Murray to discuss the updated edition of his book Fracture-Proof Your Bones and why the standard approach to osteoporosis screening may be missing the bigger picture. We get into the limitations of DEXA scans, why bone density alone is not a strong predictor of fracture risk, and the overlooked factors that can make or break bone health over time. Dr. Neustadt also explains why falls, stability, strength, sleep, lifestyle, and medication use all deserve more attention in the conversation around osteoporosis prevention. This episode covers: 🔹 Common medications that may raise fracture risk, including SSRIs, PPIs, and some blood pressure medications 🔹 Why DEXA scans may not tell the full story about osteoporosis and fracture risk 🔹The difference between tracking bone density and actually reducing fracture risk 🔹 Why fall prevention, strength, and stability matter so much for long-term bone health 🔹 The role of nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise in protecting your bones 🔹 Why both patients and clinicians are often confused about how to interpret bone health data If you want a more complete understanding of how to protect your bones as you age, this episode is packed with practical insight! 🩺⚕️ 👉 To connect with Dr. Neustadt: https://nbihealth.com/ 📚 Find Fracture Proof Your Bones on Amazon: https:/www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0B6LXBLDC?ccs_id=ab94daed-1420-40f5-aec2-6d2ab9783375 00:00 Medications And Bone Risk 01:35 DEXA Limits And Fracture Prediction 06:26 FRAX Sc…
