"In today’s fast-paced world, managing health can often take a backseat—especially metabolic health. In 2022, a Journal of the American College of Cardiology study showed that less than 7% of Americans are in good cardiometabolic health (cholesterol, blood sugar, insulin, blood pressure, etc.).

Simple lifestyle changes can dramatically improve insulin sensitivity, which plays a vital role in preventing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, PCOS, and obesity. A recent study, Exploring the Link Between Lifestyle, Inflammation, and Insulin Resistance through an Improved Healthy Living Index, highlights how healthy habits can transform your metabolic health—especially for women." -Leslie Rusch-Bayer

"Women in menopause are at greater risk for osteoporosis and thinning bones due to the loss of estrogen. They tend to lose about 20% of their bone density within just 5–7 years after menopause. Simple, everyday tasks could lead to an increased risk of fractures when bones are weakened.

Sometimes the first sign is a fractured wrist or ankle after a ground-level fall, but many women never correlate it to the possibility of osteoporosis. Did you know that once you’ve had a fracture after menopause, you’re five times more likely to break another bone within the same year? These life-changing events can cause time away from work, difficulty with daily activities, and possibly even hospitalization or surgery.

So, what will be your breaking point—and are you at risk for osteoporosis? Here’s how you can take charge of your bone health." -Deborah Collins, PA-C

Today is World Osteoporosis Day — a reminder that protecting your bones means protecting your future.

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because bone loss happens slowly and without symptoms until a fracture occurs. But prevention starts long before that.

Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Hormone therapy has been shown to lower hip fracture risk by 30–50%, making it one of the most effective ways to protect bone health after menopause.

At the Couri Center, we take a comprehensive approach to bone health—through movement, nutrition, and hormone balance—to help women stay strong and active through every stage of life.

Your bones are your foundation—start caring for them today.
