In this second part, we talk about what "Bones for Life" actually is and we try an exercise (and did take it seriously, honestly !!).


We have our usual catch up and chat about the Mel Robbins and Dr Mary Claire Haver podcast, which is a MUST listen; and we talk about Dr Lisa Mosconi's recent book "The Menopause Brain" and emotional mastery (though we must say neither of us have mastered our emotions currently !!)


Dr Mosconi's books are available on Amazon and in good bookstores and the link to the podcast Jo spoke about with Dr Mosconi is here.

We talk very briefly about the publication in the Lancet and funny (but not funny) extract and mention a study from over 20 years ago that showed that post menopausal women in a study taking low dose Estradiol showed significantly increased bone mineral density.

Testosterone deficiency can cause brain fog, so we thought it tied in nicely with the title of our podcast!


Dr Foster is a GP and Men's Health Specialist, and the Medical Director and Founder of H3 Health.


As a committee member of the British Society of Sexual Medicine he has been involved in writing the most recent national guidelines for testosterone deficiency in men.

In October 2023 he published his book " Man alive - The Health problems men face and how to fix them".


A must read and pass on to a male that you love and want to keep healthy. :)



I spoke about Kelly Casperson MD on the podcast too, she has a great Instagram and podcast.


If you follow her, let her know where you found her !
