Stronger Together: Navigating Osteoporosis as a Family
About this episode
Helen and Michelle share their family's journey navigating osteoporosis and the importance of discussing bone health.
Helen and Michelle, a mother and daughter navigating osteoporosis together, join BHOF CEO Claire Gill on the latest episode of Bone Talk. What began as a fall at a summer concert became a turning point that reshaped how their family thinks about bone health. Michelle initially believed her arm could not really be broken after what seemed like a minor fall, but X-rays confirmed the fracture and forced her to reconsider something she had long associated with much older women. Together, Helen and Michelle discuss the role of family history, the importance of self-advocacy, and why bone health should be part of family conversations long before a fracture occurs.
