@fabulouspharmacist: I had a DXA scan last month @rebornelongevity. A DXA is pain free , non invasive and assesses your bone density. It’s so important to look after your bones and know where you stand because you can reverse osteopenia (which I am intent on doing 💪) before it develops into osteoporosis. Many heath insurers cover part / all of a DXA. Women in Ireland are only advised to get a DXA at 65. This is too late, particularly if you have risk factors such as a mother with osteoporosis. At that stage a lot of the damage is done due to declining estrogen levels. Thankyou so much to the @rebornelongevity team for being so kind , compassionate and for answering all my questions. Some stats taken from @irish_osteoporosis : -One in two women over 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture during their lifetime. - 90% of hip fractures are linked to osteoporosis. - Only around 15% of people with osteoporosis are diagnosed. This highlights a huge number of undetected cases. -Fractures are one of the leading causes of long-term admission to nursing homes. #dxa #osteoporosis #midlife #womenshealth #bones

U can get a refferal from your GP for a dexais scan in Ireland and if u r in no rush for your appointment in Affedia clinic it's actually free... Tip for you ladies either way most is covered by health insurance or costs around €200🥰

You should be very pleased with your results. I hate when people rush into taking medication. Diet and resistance exercise are the best, and the acceptance that our bodies are in decline as we age

Just had a Dexa scan at 45. Below ribs and hips done. Found out to be bad news. Lower spine I have osteoarthritis (red zone) and hips I have osteopenia (yellow zone). I also have rheumatoid arthritis all over body. On meds now to try and help it 🤷♀️wish it could have been tested and helped earlier. Damage is done now sadly.

They don’t do such a thorough SEXA scan on the NHS in England or at least not I my experience they don’t do a whole body one and they don’t tell you about the fat around your organs
