Episode Details

One of the women in the Inspire Fitness community just got her DEXA scan results back - and she was surprised by how strong her wrists had become. She credited lifting weights. And she's right.

Most women in midlife are thinking about their weight, their energy, and how their clothes fit. Almost none of them are thinking about their bones. And that gap in awareness is one of the most costly oversights of this season of life.

In this episode, Casey breaks down what's actually happening to your bone density during perimenopause and menopause, why strength training is the single most powerful tool you have to protect and build it, and what a DEXA scan is - and whether you should be getting one.

You'll learn:

• Why bone loss accelerates so significantly in the years around menopause - and why most women don't find out until it's already advanced
• Exactly how strength training builds bone density and why cardio alone isn't enough
• What a DEXA scan measures, what the numbers mean, and how to ask your doctor about getting one
• What you can do starting this week - whether you've been lifting for years or you haven't started yet

Your bones are remodeling right now. The question is whether they're getting stronger or weaker - and you have more influence over that answer than you've probably been told.
