Mini Mikkipedia - Building Unbreakable Bones in Perimenopause — Mikkipedia

In this Mini Mikkipedia, Mikki dives deep into what’s really happening to your bones in perimenopause and beyond—plus what you can do to reverse bone loss, not just slow it. She explains why the drop in oestrogen accelerates bone breakdown, why osteopenia is far from “nothing to worry about,” and how fractures become a major driver of loss of independence and early mortality.

Mikki walks through the non-negotiables for stronger bones: the right kind of exercise (hint: walking alone won’t cut it), why sleep is a critical bone-building tool, and how protein, calcium, vitamin D, K2, magnesium, collagen, creatine and omega-3s all fit together. She also covers meds, alcohol, smoking, and what realistic “reversal” of osteopenia looks like in your 50s, 60s and 70s.
