#79. Strong bones, real life: The truth about osteoporosis, movement and midlife with Alison Crouch

What if the diagnosis you were most afraid of turned out to be the thing that changed how you move, for the better? Osteoporosis is often presented as a reason to slow down, to be careful, to wrap yourself in cotton wool. But what if that instinct is actually one of the worst things you can do?

In this episode, I’m joined by Alison Crouch; movement specialist, Pilates teacher and someone living and thriving with a severe osteoporosis diagnosis.  

We get into what bone density really means, why your DEXA scan results are information rather than a verdict, and what the research actually says about impact, strength training and bone health in midlife. 

Whether you’ve had a diagnosis, you’re somewhere on the osteopenia spectrum, or you simply want to understand how to move in ways that support your bones for the long term, this one is for you.
