When you picture your bones, what do you see? Most of us imagine something rigid and inert, a coat hanger, a Halloween skeleton. Something that just hangs there in the dark while the rest of us gets on with living.
But that picture is wrong.
And in this episode,the first of a three-part series called Lead With Your Bones, Carly is here to change it.
In this episode Carly explains the science of living bone in plain, language, including why oestrogen matters so much to bone health, what changes during perimenopause and menopause, and why one in two women over fifty in the UK will be affected by osteoporosis.
She also shares a brief story of a client who went from spinal fractures and walking with two sticks to living freely and a beautiful, mythic moment drawn from Clarissa Pinkola Estés that captures the deeper philosophy of this work.
This is episode one of three. Come back next week for part two Lead With Your Bones — where we get practical about movement, strength and load.
Topics covered:
→ Why bones are living tissue, not inert scaffolding
→ Your bone’s maintenance crew explained simply
→ How oestrogen regulates bone remodelling and what changes at menopause
→ Emerging ideas around bones and your fascia
