Episode Details

Were you told to "wait and see" after a DEXA bone screening or have you ever felt confused about what your T-score actually means, then this episode is for you? Today I am joined by two of the most respected bone health experts in the world, Dr. John Neustadt and Dr. Doug Lucas, to clear up the most misunderstood parts of bone loss in midlife.

• And so much more
