The Dr Louise Newson Podcast · 62 – How hormones change your brain - Dr Jay Jagannathan · 30 Apr 2026 podcast

Right.

So, yeah, I think for osteoporotic fractures, I mean, that's something obviously, you know, women do tend to have a lot significantly higher incidence, particularly later in life.

when compared with men.

And a lot of times, what we see particularly now in patients who aren't necessarily on hormonal replacement, stuff like that, is that they tend to come back with more of these fractures.

And they do get harder and harder to treat.

They not only cause pain, but they can affect posture, affect balance, affect walking, things like that as well.

So I think definitely in addition to the hormonal side of it, I think kind of keeping track of that, measuring bone density is extremely important in addition to

to appropriate training and resistance training and in low degrees, things like that have been shown to have major positive effects when it comes to preventing those kinds of fractures.

Yeah.

So the myelin, if you think of a nerve as kind of like a giant wire, and basically you have a cell body, that's what receives the impulses from the outside.

And nerves are similar structurally, both in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

What's different is how they're enveloped and how they're protected and the internal milieu.

But

So you have a cell body that contains basically dendrites, which are little fingers that get neurotransmitters, which are signals that are sent from other nerves.

It's processed in the cell body, and then it's transmitted out through a thing called an axon, which is a giant wire that basically connects to other nerves.

So you can have one nerve that supplies...

a million other nerves that kind of give signals to the rest of the body.

So the myelin sheath is basically kind of an insulation over the axon.

And what it's meant to do is to provide increased rate of conduction within the nerve itself.

You can think of it as, and so this conduction is called saltatory conduction.
