Bone Health Osteoporosis Screening and Prevention
At Radiant Women’s Health, we prioritize bone health as foundational to your long-term vitality.
Premier Osteoporosis and Prevention in Menlo Park
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density in the 5-7 years post menopause due to hormone changes.
Thankfully, there are steps you can take to prevent bone loss and keep osteoporosis from impacting your quality of life. The bone health specialists at Radiant Women’s Health are here to help you prevent, detect, and treat bone mineral loss from its earliest stages, allowing you to keep your bones healthy and strong as you get older.
Radiant’s Approach to Bone Health
Bone health becomes especially critical during and after menopause, when declining estrogen levels can accelerate bone loss and increase the risk of fractures.
At Radiant Women’s Health, we view bone health as a cornerstone of whole-woman care, essential for maintaining strength, mobility, and independence throughout midlife and beyond.
Our approach blends evidence-based medicine with proactive monitoring and lifestyle integration. Our physicians, Dr. Jessica Kassis and Dr. Jacqueline To, continually tracks each member’s bone density and overall risk profile over time, ensuring early intervention and personalized prevention strategies. We rely on gold-standard diagnostics such as the bone mineral density test for osteoporosis (DEXA scan) to measure bone strength accurately and guide treatment decisions based on clinical science.
To deliver specialized expertise, Radiant partners with Dr. Gina Woods, a nationally recognized endocrinologist, certified menopause practitioner, and bone health specialist. With nearly two decades of experience diagnosing and managing osteopenia, osteoporosis, and related hormonal disorders, Dr. Woods offers virtual consultations focused on both prevention and treatment.
Together with Dr. Jessica Kassis and Dr. Jacqueline To, and Dr. Woods take a comprehensive, whole-body approach, addressing nutrition, hormone balance, physical activity, and lifestyle choices that influence bone strength. Their goal is to preserve bone density and help every woman build a foundation for lifelong resilience and vitality.
Our Bone Health Services
Personalized Osteoporosis Risk Assessment
Your age, family history, hormone levels, and lifestyle all impact bone health. We perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine your fracture risk and create a tailored prevention plan. Each patient has unique needs and history, so your plan will be tailored to your individual risk and healthcare goals.
Why it matters: Early identification allows for early intervention, helping prevent fractures before they occur.
Our team of Bay Area physicians and bone health specialists will help you customize a plan that fits your lifestyle. Your plan may include a combination of therapies, medications, and lifestyle changes to help manage bone loss and maintain strength as you get older.
Bone Mineral Density Tests (DEXA Scan)
We’ll help coordinate bone mineral density tests to evaluate bone density and detect early signs of osteopenia or osteoporosis. Visit our Menlo Park office or schedule a virtual consultation with Dr. Woods or one of our other specialists to discuss your results and what they mean for your future health.
Why it matters: DEXA scans are the gold standard for measuring bone strength and guiding treatment decisions.
Your bone mineral density test results will tell us how much density has been lost, if any, and help us make informed recommendations going forward.
Hormone Therapy for Bone Health, Osteoporosis and Prevention
When appropriate, our Bay Area bone health specialists may recommend hormone therapy (HT), previously known as HRT, to help preserve bone density during perimenopause and menopause. Preventing mineral loss before it occurs can help you maintain strength and mobility while preventing fractures.
Why it matters: Estrogen therapy has been shown to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk in eligible women.
Delaying, or even preventing, loss in density can help keep bones stronger as you get older. This can prevent fractures and other injuries, so you can maintain mobility for longer. Our team of bone health specialists will help you determine whether HT is right for your situation.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
Our Menlo Park bone health specialists provide individualized guidance on supplements (calcium, vitamin D), diet, exercise, and other lifestyle strategies proven to support bone health. We’ll take your goals, lifestyle, and individual preferences into account and come up with a long-term bone health plan that works for you.
Why it matters: Lifestyle changes play a powerful role in strengthening bones and preventing future loss.
The choices you make between appointments are crucial when it comes to managing osteoporosis and its prevention. In fact, regular weight-bearing exercise helps prevent bone density loss and fractures caused by falls.
