Your skeleton is more than just a calcium storage unit
In short: While milk is a common staple for bone health, it is only one piece of a complex biological puzzle. Dr. Jen Gunter explains what actually happens to our frames as we age.
Dr. Jen Gunter explores the three distinct layers of bone to reveal why our skeletons weaken over time. The video moves beyond the simple narrative of calcium intake to provide a deeper look at the physiological mechanisms of bone maintenance.
By understanding these layers, the presentation offers actionable insights on how to maintain a healthy frame for years to come, challenging common misconceptions about how the body functions.
