How To Build Stronger Bones After 50: The 3 Pillars Every Woman Needs | Angela Foster
High Performance HealthShow Notes
1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone, and the scariest part is you won't feel it happening. Bone loss is silent, it speeds up in perimenopause and menopause, and by the time there's a warning sign, it's often a fracture. But weaker bones are NOT just an inevitable part of aging.
In this video, Angela Foster breaks down the 3 pillars every woman needs to build stronger bones, protect against fractures, and stay strong and independent for decades with the exact, evidence-based way to put each one into practice.
You'll learn:
- Why your bones lose density in perimenopause - and how to reverse the trend
- The single most important type of exercise for bone strength (and how heavy you actually need to lift)
- How to "earn the right to jump" - the safe way to add impact training without injuring your tendons
- Why walking, weighted vests, and mini-trampolines aren't enough on their own
- The 4 nutrients your bones need - and how much protein to eat per day
- The simple tests Angela uses with her clients to check they're on track
