Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention

Our 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 believe bone health is foundational to your long-term vitality. That’s why we’ve partnered with Dr. Gina Woods, a nationally recognized Endocrinologist and Bone Health Specialist, to bring expert bone care directly to you through virtual consultations.

Dr. Gina Woods is an endocrinologist and bone health specialist at UC San Diego. She is a leader in the field of bone health, with deep expertise in diagnosing and managing osteopenia, osteoporosis, and other complex bone-related hormonal disorders. She offers virtual consults with Radiant Women’s Health patients.

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.
• Why it matters: Early identification allows for early intervention, helping prevent fractures before they occur.

Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)

• We help coordinate bone scans to evaluate bone mineral density and detect early signs of osteopenia or osteoporosis.
• Why it matters: DEXA scans are the gold standard for measuring bone strength and guiding treatment decisions.

Hormone Therapy for Bone Protection

• When appropriate, we may recommend hormone therapy (HT), previously known as HRT, to help preserve bone density during perimenopause and menopause.
• Why it matters: Estrogen therapy has been shown to slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk in eligible women.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Support

• We provide individualized guidance on calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and other lifestyle strategies proven to support bone health.
• Why it matters: Lifestyle changes play a powerful role in strengthening bones and preventing future loss.
