Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou

Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I'm starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I'll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle.

We cover:

• The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

• What your DEXA scan doesn't tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights

• Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT

• The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs

• Which markers may be more important than BMD scores

• The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones

• Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health
