QUOTES

“Perimenopause is a decline of up to 20% of bone mineral density loss. So when women are having these hormone replacement therapy conversations, we’re not taking into consideration that these were changes that are happening in Peri.”

“There’s a lot of work to do. There’s no magic pill. It’s not just hormones, it’s an entire lifestyle. But you CAN master this.” 

“Even if women don’t want to squat 200 pounds, we need to squat enough to be functional, because that’s what picking up our grandchildren or our children is, right?”
