May is Osteoporosis Awareness & Prevention Month — a reminder that bone health is shaped by more than just your age.
In fact, your bones are being influenced by factors happening right now:
• Genetics and family history — if a parent had osteoporosis, your risk is higher
• Certain medications, including steroids and acid reflux drugs, can quietly accelerate bone loss
• Lifestyle choices — diet, exercise, alcohol, and smoking all play a measurable role
• Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can speed up bone breakdown significantly
The more you understand what's working against your bones, the better you are to protect them.
This May, take the first step and call us to schedule your Echolight® REMS Bone Scan.
