Description
The growing aging population poses challenges in addressing numerous health concerns, including musculoskeletal health. Menopause is a natural event in a women’s life but along with the physical effects of aging and weight concerns at this stage of life, the impact on muscle and bone health is often overlooked when considering long-term patient outcomes.
As the prevalence of sarcopenia and osteoporosis increases, women are seeking help from clinicians to make informed decisions about their health. Still, they are bombarded by conflicting messages about lifestyle and pharmacotherapy options for prevention and treatment. Val Schonberg is a registered dietitian and certified menopause practitioner specializing in musculoskeletal health who will explore topics related to evidence-based nutrition, physical activity, supplements, hormone therapy, and individualized treatment strategies for muscle and bone injuries and osteoporosis.
