If you’re skipping breakfast to save time or because of intermittent fasting, your bones might be quietly paying the price — especially if you’re postmenopausal.
Studies show that postmenopausal women who skip breakfast regularly have significantly lower bone density and higher risk of fractures.
Here’s what happens: When you skip meals, especially in the morning, your body starts pulling calcium from your bones to keep things running. Without estrogen, this process becomes even more pronounced during menopause. Your hypothalamus, the part of your brain that regulates everything from stress to metabolism, sends a “danger” signal to your body, and your bones are one of the first places it looks for nutrients.
The good news is that you don’t have to eat a large meal to protect your bones. A small, protein-rich breakfast signals to your hypothalamus that your body is safe, which helps activate growth hormones and turn off bone breakdown.
To truly protect your bones, you need to support the hypothalamus — and that’s exactly why I created Genesis Gold. It helps regulate your hormones, reducing inflammation and supporting bone-building signals so you can thrive without compromising your bone health.
