Bone loss does not begin with a DEXA scan.
It begins quietly at the cellular level through inflammation you cannot feel, micro-fractures you never knew were there, and age-related changes that slowly shift your bones toward breakdown instead of rebuilding.
By the time osteopenia or osteoporosis shows up on a report, the real question becomes: Why is this happening, and can your bones recover?
That is exactly what we cover in this episode.
I invited Kiran Krishnan back for a second conversation to break down what truly drives bone loss, fracture healing, and long-term bone strength. We explore how aging, inflammation, circulation, and targeted nutrients influence
bone remodeling and bone quality.
