Hi there, friends. I am so glad you're here. Well, apparently we've reached the age where bone density is hot. I don't remember anyone talking to me about my hips in my 30s, but now suddenly we are comparing dexascans, taking vitamin D, eating protein, lifting weights, and wondering whether that weird pain in our knee is menopause or who knows what. So I called somebody who actually knows. Dr. Jason Snibby is one of LA's top orthopedic surgeons. He's a consultant for the Lakers, the Clippers, and the Kings. And yes, he is a surgeon who gave Chris Jenner her new hip. So basically, if there are secrets to keeping your body working for as long as possible, I want what his patients know. We're getting into what your body should actually be able to do in your 50s, what really protects your bones and joints, and what you can start doing right now to stay strong and mobile for decades to come.

But first, you know I'm gonna be annoying because we need some more reviews. We want to hear from you. If you listen every week and you've never left one, I'm talking to you. Please hit the five stars, write me a sentence. It helps more women find this show. It also takes 30 seconds and it really does make a difference. Let's get into it with Dr. Jason Snippy. Well Dr. Simee, good to see you.
Dr. Jason Snibbe 1:18
Good to see you. Thanks for having me.
Tamsen Fadal 1:20
Thanks for being here.
Dr. Jason Snibbe 1:21
Great.
Tamsen Fadal 1:21
So I want to ask you this question and then we'll get into all details. Did you ever think that bones and joints were going to be a sexy conversation in all your
Dr. Jason Snibbe 1:28
years? In all your years of practice. Uh never, never. I never thought I never thought all the things that we talk about in orthopedics, you know, would be kind of so central to my life. It is, you know, it was most of it was training and operating on people and fixing them. But now it's become such a broad specialty where we treat really treat so many different things, surgically and non surgically. You know, it's great.
Tamsen Fadal 1:52
I wanna go into some of those because I feel like look, I never even thought about my bones until a few years ago. Yeah. And when I started having this conversation about, you know, being in b midlife and now I'm postmenopausal. Uh bones are a big focus of of what we talk about on the show. But for the w mid age middle aged woman who walks into your office, what are the biggest things that you're seeing nowadays? Are they going in there proactively, like, hey, I want to just make sure everything's okay? Or are they going in because everything hurts? Because I've been in the everything hurts camp for a while.
Dr. Jason Snibbe 2:23
Yeah. I mean, I think that I we would love people to be proactive and be more proactive. Unfortunately, a lot of people are coming in broken. You know, they're they're some of them are hearing about training and resistance training and exercise, and they're basically doing it in an improper way or they're just in really out of shape. And they're getting pain from their joints. And then some of them are having a lot of discomfort in their joints that they never had before. And it's that perimenopausal woman, the postmenopausal woman. I think that when you see The hormones drop. You know, when you see estrogen drop, that's your protector. That's your anti-inflammatory flowing through your bloodstream. And when you lose that anti-inflammatory aspect, that's when the joints start getting inflamed, sore, and achy.
Dr. Jason Snibbe 3:13
You know, people saying, now, like when I work out, I can't sleep at night. I'm having this achiness. Andor like my recovery is it takes forever. Like it takes me three days to recover. from just a regular workout that I normally would be fine the next day.
Tamsen Fadal 3:27
What do we start doing? So you see that happening. So maybe they're not so bad off or they're gonna need to be in your uh O R. Yeah. But they want to try to prevent this from happening and they wanna be able to keep working out. So what do you say to the women that are not recovering like they used to or feeling that pain?
Dr. Jason Snibbe 3:43
So we talk a lot about the whole body. You know, I think it's so important for us is to not focus on a knee and a hip.
