Welcome to the latest episode of the Movement is Medicine Show, where health meets motion in a dance of informative dialogue tailored explicitly for those grappling with muscle and soft tissue concerns. This week, we unpack the mysteries of menopause and its far-reaching effects on musculoskeletal health with Dr. Marci.

Together, we dive into critical topics like bone health and why calcium and vitamin D aren't just buzzwords but essentials during perimenopause and menopause. We're busting myths and getting real about gummy vitamins, shedding light on weight training's transformative power, and the dynamism of bone health.

The conversation gets deep as we explore the complex landscape of weight loss and nutrition during menopause, emphasizing how these factors affect bone health and overall well-being.

But that's not all – we go further, discussing the emotional and physiological changes triggered by declining estrogen, alternative remedies to HRT, and the critical importance of nutrition featuring whole foods and natural sources.

So, grab your headphones and get ready for an enlightening session because right here, on the "Movement is Medicine Show," we're reminding you that you’re not alone in this journey – help is available, and your health matters.
