Special Message from Dr. Pam Peeke
   
 

Women want to know about staying healthy and fit as they age. They ask me: Dr. Peeke, what are the rules for keeping strong in your fifties to maintain an on-the-go lifestyle?"

As a woman and a physician, I know one thing for sure: Ladies, It's time to get serious about staying strong. Your bones are the foundation of your future. In this day and age there are plenty of tools available to help prevent a fracture due to bone loss.

Maintaining strong and healthy bones is absolutely essential to your overall health and happiness as you age!

That's why I'm involved in the Strong to the Bone campaign. To help women learn how to stay strong and active, we are pleased to present a five-minute assessment to help you evaluate your osteoporosis risk and get tips for better bone health.

I hope that you'll use this resource and get inspired to get bone-smart.

 
 
 
   
      Stay Strong to the Bone!
    DR. PEEKE BELIEVES THAT STRONG WOMEN SHOULD HAVE STRONG BODIES.
