Did a bone scan come back with the word osteopenia, and your first thought was, wait, I'm way too young for this? Have you been told your bones are fine, but have no idea what this bone scan is all about?
We cover:
Why bone loss can start way earlier than almost anyone warns you about
The scan most doctors order, and what it can quietly miss about your real bone strength
Bone density versus bone quality, and why that difference actually matters
The estrogen and bone connection nobody seems to explain clearly
Whether a tiny starter dose of HRT is really doing anything for your bones
