I found I have osteoporosis at 42 by signing up for a screening when my doctors wouldn’t order a dexa scan. The endocrinologist said it’s not currently called osteoporosis if you’re not 65 or older it’s “low bone density for age.” It’s infuriating that it’s not considered the same when now my risk for fractures has started early. Where would it be if left undiagnosed for 23 more years?? I would have been kept on the very low estrogen birth control, and I probably* wouldn’t have started my weight lifting routine. Be your own advocate!!
This is why I'm trying to rebuild bone that I have lost.
Dhea also plays a role in bone health. Everyone's DHEA goes down as we age. DHEA converts into estrogen and testosterone. I learned that many practitioners don't prescribe it. They are trained to prescribe testosterone instead.
So the doctors are going to be interested in it now…. Because it’s costing 22 billion dollars. Not because anyone gave a …. It’s a woman’s problem, after all.
Nicely said 👍
Can you also talk about what causes the diagnosis to be missed? And any recs for the weighted vest would also be much appreciated!
I'm 50 and i have osteoporosis thanks to the dr who told me at my 35 is ok to have menopause that early. 😢 and don't take hormones because you gonna get cancer.
Can you please share the research evidence for collagen supplementation?
We can't get bone scans to diagnose osteoporosis so we can prevent it. I started jump rope and carrying a weighted backpack. I am post menopausal and too young for a bone scan. I hope that increasing vitamin d and exrrcise will help.
I had my NP order it right at menopause ( age 50 ) and said I would pay for it. It came back osteopenia so the insurance paid for it at that point.
Usually they cost around $100 out of pocket and if you have a family history you can petition for getting one early too.

How heavy or light can we go with the weighted vests? 20 lbs? 12 lbs? Would love to see a video going into a bit more detail. I’m going to look up vibratory training! What’s that?! 😺😸 Is it where you stand on those machines that shake 🫨 all the goodies? 😹
Can you please discuss chronic skin rashes and swelling in post menopause and how skin changes with how it reacts to pressure. 🙏
I just realized that mushrooms cause me to have rashes. I’m 59 yo
Please elaborate on vibratory training . I asked my Rheumatologist, yes, I have osteoporosis at 57 years of age and am starting Evenity next week.
Please be assured you have normal heart function. My mother died last month a day after taking her second Evenity injection. She felt ‘weird’ after taking the first one the month before. She was found to have 30 percent heart blockage last year but was cleared to take it. It’s a black box drug.
@@tracimcadams7311I’m so sorry your mother passed so suddenly from the side effects of that medicine. Thanks for the heads up.
My mum shattered her femur at 69. Some years later she broke her ankle. She’s 83 now & has fractures in her spine. She’s lost 6 inches in height & is in chronic pain.
I had to push to get Dexa scan for her 🤦♀️
I was diagnosed with osteopenia in my early 40’s when I was a runner who lifted heavily. I am 55 now and am TERRIFIED of the result I’m going to get with my DEXA that’s scheduled this week. I’m a tiny girl(4’11” 105lbs) which is already an issue in and of itself. After a blown ACL, my running ceased and I only walk, hike and lift moderately heavy weights. I also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Is there anything else I can do?? I’m taking calcium, vitamins D&K, compounded estradiol, micronized progesterone, creatine HCL, HMB and collagen supplement. I’m trying to get about a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight as well. Am I missing anything?? I do not want to die of a hip fracture!!
Dr. Eric Berg has a CZcams video that outlines foods and supplements to take, he suggests NOT taking calcium orally as it raises your blood serum level, which is not good, and that it doesn’t go to your bones.
Just passing this along, you might find it helpful.
I think Eric Berg is a chiropractor, isn’t he? I don’t think he’s a very reliable source (in my opinion). Dr Haver has spoken about the type of calcium she recommends in other videos. Personally I think she’s a better source of information.
My mum had OA and was using a mobility scooter by age 65. (She was skinny). She was one of those woman scared to death of HRT. Joint pain is one of my worst peri symptoms, so naturally im scared to death of being in a mobility scooter at the same age as my mum 😭.
At 70 years old, is it too late to start HRT? I do take Alendronate tablet every Sunday, but I feel very depleted in terms of hormones.
You deserve a conversation with a menopause educated doctor. It shouldn't be a one size fits all kind of answer but one that considers your personal health benefits versus any health risks you might. have. We have a free Empowerment Guide that can help you advocate for yourself with your doctor. It also includes resources to find a menopause educated doctor including Telehealth options.

How much collagen should a woman take at age 50? Does collagen peptide working? I heard mix info on collagen as some people say it might be as helpful as one might think. Any advice on how to increase its effectiveness?
Which supplements do you suggest?
Would you cover HRT/TRT for those with osteoporosis starting hormones after transition (postmenopausal more than 5 years)? You often talk about things as "menopausal transition" but no mention of after that. What is your opinion about how long to stay on it? If have low BMD, good to stay on it indefinitely, or should stop at some point, how to avoid bone loss if stop... Thanks!
Yes! Interested. 72 here and just started with hormone therapy. Used Forteo for two years for my OP. Broke my femur at the crown in Oct 2020 & had THRS. I don’t want any more bone issues!!
I’m also very much interested. I’m 68 and I have osteoporosis but not taking HRT. I was told that now is to late.
Could I ask your opinion on taking Prolia for osteoporosis? Thank you dr haver
Can you tell me exactly what tests to ask for from my primary or gyno? I’ll pay out of pocket if necessary? Thank you!
My mother had 3 "stress" fractures in the same foot inside 1 year. She is postmenopausal, and her mother also had osteoporosis. But supposedly she does not.
How do I get a hold of HRT? My doctor said I’m old at 70.
Hi, I am very new to weighted vest. What weight should I buy. I am a 44 in perimenpause.
What do you think about the new medication VEOZAH for hot 🥵 flashes?
I also wanted to learn more about this vibrator training please! Never heard of it... Is it in your book ? I hope to get it soon, God willing!!
It sounds fun LOL 🤣
Isn’t working out on a rebounder great for bones and easy on joints, especially with a vest? Any input for this?
A resounding "YES! ". And GREAT for the lymph system, to boot!
I've been in chemically induced menopause on Orilissa since January in preparation for surgery to remove 11.5 cm and 4 cm endometriomas. I'm on vitamin D and have been taking a calcium supplement but wonder if I should do more. I will likely come off of it next month after surgery.
Those surgeries are merely "money-makers". I took an MD to task about it and she ADMITTED TO MY FACE that she had NOT seen ANY CANCER in ANY of her patients after those invasive, predatory surgeries in the multiple of hundreds/thousands performed. OUTRAGEOUS.
Can you talk about what type of collagen supplementation to take that doesn’t increase risk of jaw cancer??
Never heard of that "correlation". That sounds very bizarre.
My doctor said I can’t get hormone replacement therapy due to my heart what options do I have?
In terms of preventing osteoporosis you would want to make sure you get adequate calcium through food, and lift heavy weights. Do you follow Dr. Vonda Wright on social media? She is an expert in ways to use exercise to keep your bones healthy and strong.

Dr Haver, what is your opinion on bioDensity therapy? Is a machine.
