Bones are constantly remodelling and certain medications may tip the balance between bone breakdown and bone building.

Common examples include:
- Steroids (long-term use)
- Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
- Some antidepressants
- Certain anti-epileptic drugs
- Aromatase inhibitors (used in some breast cancer treatments)

These medicines can be absolutely necessary. Being informed allows you to support your bones while you take them.

💉What about weight loss injections? (e.g., GLP-1 medications like semaglutide)

Weight-loss medications have grown massively in popularity and while they can be helpful for those who need them, they can also impact bone health in ways people may not expect.

🔹 Rapid weight loss itself can reduce bone density
It’s not the medication alone, it’s the speed of weight loss.
Losing weight quickly can reduce both muscle mass and bone mass, especially when protein intake and resistance exercise aren’t adequate.

🔹 Lower appetite = fewer nutrients
GLP-1 injections reduce appetite dramatically.
Great for weight loss but not so great if you aren’t hitting adequate calories, enough protein and vitamins & minerals needed for bone health.

🔹 Loss of muscle = less stimulus for bone.
Less muscle = less mechanical loading
Less loading = less bone-building signal
This is particularly relevant for post-menopausal women.

👍The good news?

The negative effects can often be prevented or minimised with:
- Targeted resistance training
- Adequate daily protein
- Ensuring consistent intake of bone-supporting nutrients
- Monitoring bone markers and DEXA if you’re on these meds long-term

❌ Myth: “Once you have osteopenia, it’s too late to change it.”

✅ Fact: Osteopenia is not the end. It’s your early warning sign, and your opportunity to act.!

Osteopenia means your bone density is below average for your age, but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis. Many people hear that diagnosis and think it’s inevitable that things will get worse, but that’s simply not true!

Bones are living, dynamic tissue. They constantly respond to the signals you send them through nutrition, hormones, movement and lifestyle choices. That means they can rebuild strength when given the right conditions.

With the right nutrition, movement and lifestyle approach, your bones can absolutely regain strength.

We’ll show you how at our Bone Health Workshop 💪

💪 Do you know your grip strength?

It’s more than just a party trick, it’s one of the most powerful predictors of overall health and longevity.

Research shows that lower grip strength is linked with:
– Reduced bone density
– Higher fracture risk
– Slower recovery and reduced mobility with age

Strong hands = strong body. Your grip strength reflects the strength of your muscles, bones and nervous system working together.

🦴 At our Bone Health Workshop on 23 November, you’ll get the chance to test your own grip strength and learn what it can tell you about your bone health and resilience.

🍎 Plus, we’ll show you exactly how nutrition and movement can support stronger bones (and stronger grip!) at every age.

Seems a lot of people I talk to at the moment are feeling a bit ‘meh’, in a funk, low in energy and motivation….can you relate?

It could be the change of seasons, the darker nights or may number of other things

The good news is, there’s usually something you can do to help yourself feel better. I took myself out for a longer walk today, which definitely helped…..as did baking banana bread 😉
