🦴✨ Hormones & Bones: The Dynamic Duo! ✨🦴

Hello, Integrated Wellness family! Did you know that your bones and hormones are in constant communication, working together to keep you strong and healthy? 🤝

Here's the scoop: Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and parathyroid hormone play a crucial role in maintaining bone density and strength. 

Estrogen, for example, helps to prevent bone loss, which is why women may experience changes in bone density during menopause. 🦸‍♀️

Testosterone isn't just for building muscles; it also supports bone health in both men and women. In fact, women prior to menopause have more testosterone than estrogen!

And let's not forget about the parathyroid hormone, which helps regulate calcium levels in your bones and blood. It is your calcium thermostat. So if you are not getting enough calcium parathyroid hormone will pull calcium from your bones. 🧘‍♂️

Adrenaline is also a hormone that can cause bone loss. So it is important to have a plan for stress and how to turn off a busy mind. And if you feel like you are losing your mind during menopause the culprit just may be lack of estrogen and/or progesterone.

So, how can you support this amazing partnership? A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and routine check-ups can help keep your hormones and bones in harmony. 🥦🏋️‍♀️

Stay strong, stay healthy, and remember: your bones are more than just a framework—they're a living, dynamic part of your wellness journey! 💪
