Are you wondering why bone health needs a women specific approach, especially around perimenopause and menopause? This discussion focuses on the research gap in women’s health, how menstrual disruption like hypothalamic amenorrhea can lower bone density, and why bone loss accelerates in the years around the final menstrual period. Stacy Sims, exercise physiologist specialising in female training and health, explains why it is never too late to improve bone density and why progressive resistance training plus impact work can help, even for women in their 60s with osteopenia or osteoporosis. The segment also touches on low bone density risks in non weight bearing sports like cycling.

Dr. Tracey Clissold is a New Zealand-based researcher and educator with 30+ years in exercise science and sports nutrition. She holds a PhD from AUT University, where her research proved that a targeted jump-landing program can improve bone mineral density by 3.5–5% in just 12 months. She created the OSTEO-GAINS app — a science-backed, 2–5 minute daily bone-building program with over 25,000 users worldwide.
