Strong Bones, Strong Women: Why Bone Health Matters at Every Age with Olympian Lisa O’Rourke & Sharon Madigan

How often do we really think about our bones? And could the choices we make in our 20s and 30s impact our health decades down the line?

In this very special episode of Shake the Ground, proudly sponsored by the National Dairy Council to mark World Osteoporosis Day, Nathalie heads to the Sport Ireland Institute for an eye-opening conversation about bone health, nutrition, female athletes and the importance of looking after our future selves.

Joining Nathalie are two incredible women: Lisa O’Rourke, Irish Olympian, World Champion boxer and European Games gold medallist, and Sharon Madigan, Head of Performance Nutrition at the Sport Ireland Institute.

Together, they explore why bone health deserves our attention, the role of calcium, protein and dairy in supporting strong bones, and how exercise and nutrition work hand in hand to support lifelong health.

From fuelling for performance and the pressures facing female athletes to building healthy habits and understanding our risk of osteoporosis, this conversation is packed with practical advice, personal insights and important reminders for women of all ages.

A huge thank you to the National Dairy Council for supporting this important conversation.
