So is this inevitable? Is the loss of bone density inevitable for women?

So I want to get into why that's happening, but just to pause there, because a lot of people don't think bones are that important. I think a lot of people see our bones as just something that we can't influence. You don't think of them like muscles. Muscles, I go to the gym, I can expand my muscles, I can get strong. But with bones, it feels like they're static.

So how would you refute that so that I start caring about my bones? And what is the cost if I don't care about my bones?

The bone is releasing stuff. I got this, um, this... Little analogy I'm going to put on the table. In one of the tubs, I've got some minerals and then this is the body.

So could you explain to me how the bone is releasing something into the body?

So if I don't have enough calcium or some of these other minerals, does that mean that my bones are going to become fragile?

Estrogen plays a role in laying down bone.

So I want to go into all of that, starting with the point you made about doing impact sports when we're younger.

Because people often say if you do impact sports when you're younger, especially some of them, there's other consequences like injury or hitting your head. So you're saying that we should be running or jumping when we're younger to build our bone strength.

And is that in all seasons of life? If I'm 60 years old, should I still be bashing that bone playing basketball?
