Why Estrogen Matters for Your Bones, Muscles, and Joints ft. Dr. Jason Snibbe

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of estrogen on women's bone, muscle, and joint health, particularly during menopause, featuring insights from orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe.

Joint pain, hip injuries, and mobility issues are often dismissed as an inevitable part of aging, especially for women. But according to renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe, many of the musculoskeletal challenges women face are closely tied to hormonal changes, lifestyle habits, and the way we care for our bodies over time. In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi sit down with Dr. Snibbe to discuss the critical connection between estrogen, bone health, muscle mass, and joint function. They explore why women become more vulnerable to injuries during menopause, how to recognize early warning signs of joint degeneration, and what can be done to stay active and pain-free for decades to come. Dr. Snibbe also shares his insights on hip replacements, the latest advances in orthopedic surgery, and the practical habits that can help women protect their mobility and maintain strength throughout every stage of life.
