Stronger Together: Navigating Osteoporosis as a Family10 Mar

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.
