Description:
What if the choices you make in your 30s and 40s are quietly writing the story of whether you’ll still be climbing stairs with ease in your 70s and 80s?
In this episode of Grow Your Wellth, I sit down with Dr. Natasha Trentacosta, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and director of the Women’s Sports Health and Movement Center at Cedars-Sinai. Dr. Trentacosta walks us through the continuum of women’s musculoskeletal health, from why adolescent girls tear their ACLs at far higher rates than boys, to the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause, when declining estrogen quietly chips away at bones, joints, and muscle.
We also get honest about the things so many women are never told: what a DEXA scan actually measures and why you may not need to wait until 65 to get one, why low back pain has become so universal, and how strength training, sleep, and movement act like a bank account you can build up or draw down. Throughout, Dr. Trentacosta reframes it all around one word that matters more as we age: independence.
Whether you’re raising a young athlete, navigating perimenopause, or simply want to move well for decades to come, this conversation is a powerful, empowering reminder that awareness is power, and that so much of your future health is still within your control.
