Menopause marks a pivotal shift in your hormonal landscape—and with it, your bone health enters a new chapter. The drop in estrogen accelerates bone remodeling, making the years around menopause the most critical time to protect your skeletal strength. This book offers a warm, plain-language guide to understanding exactly what happens to your bones during perimenopause and beyond. Drawing on the consensus of leading health authorities such as the Menopause Society, the Endocrine Society, and the U.S. Office on Women's Health, you'll find clear explanations of DXA scans, T-scores, and FRAX assessments, along with practical, evidence-informed strategies for nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management. No hype, no fear—just grounded, actionable knowledge to help you feel empowered and informed. Whether you are newly perimenopausal or years past your final period, these pages will help you build a lasting foundation for bone wellness. Part of The Cycle-Aware Woman Library.
