What does it really take to build strong bones and age well?
In this episode, I sit down with Gemma Pearson, a clinical Pilates specialist and former dancer, who now runs a thriving practice supporting students with osteoporosis from her home in the South of France.
But this conversation is about so much more than osteoporosis.
It’s about the power of training your feet and shifting your mindset in the face of conditions and injuries.
It's about redefining strength as we age.
It's about lifestyle, the Reformer (and whether it's enough for bone health), and why your 1 Rep Max and core strength matter more than you think for balance and mobility.
If you’re a woman with bones (which, let’s assume you are) and want to move well for life, this episode is for you!
