Joy Wu, an endocrinologist at Stanford University, dives into the crucial topic of bone health and osteoporosis. She reveals that over half of women and a quarter of men over 50 are affected, often without symptoms until a fracture occurs. Wu discusses the importance of calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercise in maintaining bone density. She also shares groundbreaking research from her lab on converting skin cells into new bone-forming osteoblasts, opening exciting possibilities for future treatments.
