October is a full month around here, and I didn't want World Osteoporosis Day to slip by without bringing Rebekah Rotstein back to the table. Rebekah is the founder of Buff Bones, and she has been living with osteoporosis since her diagnosis at 28, so she knows this topic from both sides.

Bone health finally has a seat at the table in midlife conversations, which I love. It also means a lot more noise. In this episode we clear some of it up:

• What bone density means and what a DEXA scan measures (and why full-body DEXA centres aren't the same thing)
• Why the years around your final period matter so much for your bones
• How hard strength training needs to feel to stimulate bone, and whether you have to lift heavy
• Where jumping and impact fit, and why they aren't right for every body
• Weighted vests, vibration plates and grip strength, and what the evidence says

If you've been worried that you're not doing enough for your bones, I hope this conversation leaves you clearer and a lot calmer.

Have a bone health question for Rebekah or me? Send it my way.
