Bone health.
Osteoporosis starts quietly — years before the first fracture. With menopause, the drop in oestrogen accelerates bone loss, and that's exactly when looking ahead pays off: risk profile, bone density, nutrition, exercise, medication if needed. Proactive instead of reactive.
Isn't osteoporosis a concern only later?
Bone is decided during menopause. That's when you lose fastest
Isn't calcium enough?
Not on its own. Vitamin D, exercise and hormones all matter — we look at the whole picture
The risk is real — and very much modifiable if you look early.

How it works
Risk profile and history: family, medication, conditions, lifestyle.
If needed, bone density measurement and lab work (vitamin D, calcium, bone metabolism).
Results discussion and your plan — written down, clear, actionable.
Conditions as in our hormone consultation — all details there.
What you should know.
Does statutory insurance cover bone density measurement?
Only for certain indications — for example after a fracture or with a concrete treatment trigger. We tell you honestly in advance what applies to you and what you would pay yourself.
Are calcium and vitamin D enough?
As a foundation, yes — as the sole therapy with elevated risk, usually not. What matters is your overall profile of risk, bone density and history.
How much does exercise really help?
A lot. Strength training and impact loading are proven to strengthen bone — we discuss what fits your everyday life instead of prescribing ideal programmes.
