Join me to learn about building and maintaining strong bones, with endocrinologist Dr. Joy Wu. Osteoporosis causes devastating bone fractures in millions of people every year, and there is a lot we can do to prevent it.
In this episode, we discuss the causes, consequences, and risk factors for osteoporosis and bone fractures. Dr. Wu sheds light on what's going in inside your bones and the role of diet, exercise, hormones and medications.
Dr. Wu is a board-certified endocrinologist who specializes in osteoporosis and other bone mineral diseases. She treats patients and leads cutting-edge research at Stanford University, where she is Chief of the Division of Endocrinology, Gerontology and Metabolism and Vice Chair of Basic Science in the Department of Medicine.
This episode is the first of a two-part conversation. In part two, we discuss osteoporosis treatment options.
