Got Osteopenia or Osteoporosis? Follow This Protocol - Zora Benhamou

Hack My Age

About this episode

Is it actually possible to reverse bone loss in midlife—and do it without drugs? In this solo episode, I'm diving into one of the most-requested topics in our community: osteoporosis and bone strength. You'll hear my personal journey with osteopenia, my pre- and post-hip surgery bone scans, and the n=1 experiment I'm starting with a bone supplement recommended by bone experts. But more importantly, I'll show you the bigger picture beyond the T-score—and what the latest science (plus insights from leaders in the osteoporosis space) tells us about building strong, resilient bones through biohacking, nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle. 

We cover: 

  • The difference between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis

  •  What your DEXA scan doesn't tell you—and which other scans may offer deeper insights 

  • Bone loss in menopause and do we really need HRT

  • The hidden risks of osteoporosis drugs 

  • Which markers may be more important than BMD scores 

  • The real impact of cortisol, sleep, and stress on your bones 

  • Nutrition, exercise and advanced biohack protocols that improve bone health
