15 minutes with: Vonda Wright speaks in menopause with bone health and the secret to lead a long, healthy life

If you don’t think of your musculoskeletal system, Vonda Wright, MD, has a bone that you can pick you. Or rather a new book you want to read.

As an orthopedic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience, Wright knows good bones and what it takes to keep them in old age.

This is particularly important for women because bone loss during perimenopause and menopause is accelerated. And many women do not know that they are exposed to a risk of life -changing bone problems.

The latest book by Wright, Unbreakable: A guide for women for aging with power, offers a plan for healthy aging and bone health through nutrition, lifestyle and exercise during perimenopause and after menopause.

“But it’s not just about movement. We are deeply in the spiritual resistance and teach them techniques to be more mentally resistant during this time. We teach them about science – the new science of aging – because women are wise. They don’t just want to be said what they should do. They want to know why,” said Wright.

We asked Wright about the why and their secrets because they led a long, healthy life.

Our interview follows, edited for clarity and length.

Healthy women: Congratulations on your new book. Can you expand a little, which means aging with strength?

Bad Wright: In this country there is an expectation and a myth that aging is an inevitable decline of vitality and that we cannot do much about it. There is also the idea that for women the suffering that we are going through in our last two decades is a normal aging. But the reality is my research and the research of other people in my field have found that we can be healthy, vital, active, active and happy bombs against the time bombs of aging when we call them the types of – they as a “shield”.

The real narrative change that I try to turn is that it is not inevitable to become weak, frail women – but it is likely if we don’t step in front of them. So unbreakable is based on this entire premise. How do we build mental resistance and physical resistance because aging is not for Sissies.

HW: Tell us why women need this book right now.

Wright: We are in a beautiful place or come to a beautiful place, and I say that I know that I live in a vacuum and think that more and more women understand the middle of life and menopause. There were countless books that really give us the information we need, but the next step is unbreakable. Unbreakable is the first female book about durability written by a woman who happens to be a doctor for women. We all age all; The catastrophic changes that occur when estrogen goes out of the door make us physiologically, socially and psychologically very different.

That’s why I call this time the “Meno-Lescense”, the transition period. The understanding of “Oh my god, we will all go through the menopause,” ends.

HW: Women experience a bone loss during peri and postmenopause or as they call it: “Muskuloskelett syndrome of menopause”. What can women do for their bone health during perimenopause?

Wright: Bone health begins well before perimenopause, and there are periods in which we must be critically interested in bone health.

For example, I have a 17-year-old and a 30-year-old, and now is the time when you have to build bones because we build our top density until we are 30 years old. When we reach the critical decade that is 35 to 45 years old, for many of us we are still an estrogen that the critical time to develop the change of health is the feeling that we are working against age and balance with an age and without age. Depending on what we kept in our 20s. Many women come to me and say: “I don’t want to age like my mother or grandmother.” Well, if we don’t want, we have to stand before these actions by taking these actions.

If we have not developed these behavioral standards in our critical decade, we also have to do it during the chaos zone when we are in perimenopause – during the time when our hormones are everywhere. We have to define these lifestyle standards because it is more difficult after menopause – at 55. At 65, even harder.

HW: So isn’t it too late to build good bone health in the middle of your life?

Wright: Can it be done? Absolutely. Is it more difficult? Absolutely. The time to put yourself forward – if we don’t have it before – is perimenopause.

HW: What is one of the most important things you should know about your bone health after menopause?

Wright: I want all women to receive a Dexa scan or a Rems ultrasound after the menopause and actually know the status of their bones. We shouldn’t advise.

Bones are not only structural – bones are critical communicators with our entire body. Healthy bones communicate with our brain to produce new brain cells, to communicate with our fat and our muscles. So I want women to know their bones by having them examined as a mammogram or colonoscopy. And then I want you to understand the full width of what bones do for us because it not only holds up our muscles.

HW: How important is movement to bone health and how important are you to move for strong bones?

Wright: Movement is critical. Jump, impact training and weight.

HW: Is it possible to rebuild the bone density when you have osteoporosis?

Wright: Yes, you can change osteoporosis. It is lifestyle plus menopause hormone therapy decisions – sometimes plus medication. It’s not one thing. It is the full addition of the influencers that are important.

HW: You are a durability specialist. Do you tell us one of your top tips for a long and healthy life?

Wright: If we change our way of thinking from the place where we worship our youth, we will find that today, tomorrow and the days in the future will be the best of your life when you urge your way of thinking to live the most authentic -to look at the future -because I can tell you every little blueprint detail for the development of unnoticable future. But until you believe that you can change the future and that you are worth the daily investment in your health – nothing else is important.
