Bone Talk

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill talks with physical
therapist and health coach Lisa Hamilton, PT, DPT, NBC-HWC about why
midlife is such a critical window for bone health. Their conversation
focuses on how women can take proactive steps to build strength, prevent
fractures, and stay active and independent as they age.

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF Claire Gill is joined by Ingrid
Harm-Ernandes, PT, WCS, BCB-PMD to unpack a topic many overlook in bone
health conversations: the pelvic floor. Their discussion reveals how this
hidden muscle system plays a critical role in strength, balance, mobility,
and fall prevention. The pelvic floor is more than just a support
structure. It acts as a foundation for the body, working in coordination
with the core, hips, and spine. When functioning properly, it supports
organs, controls bladder and bowel function, contributes to sexual health,
and stabilizes movement. When it is weak or not functioning correctly, it
can increase the risk of falls and fractures.

Helen and Michelle, a mother and daughter navigating osteoporosis together,
join BHOF CEO Claire Gill on the latest episode of Bone Talk. What began as
a fall at a summer concert became a turning point that reshaped how their
family thinks about bone health. Michelle initially believed her arm could
not really be broken after what seemed like a minor fall, but X-rays
confirmed the fracture and forced her to reconsider something she had long
associated with much older women. Together, Helen and Michelle discuss the
role of family history, the importance of self-advocacy, and why bone
health should be part of family conversations long before a fracture
occurs.

On this episode of Bone Talk, Claire Gill sits down with Dr. Jaimo Ahn, an
orthopedic trauma surgeon specializing in hip, pelvic, and complex fracture
care, to discuss why hip fractures are far more serious than many people
realize—and what patients and families need to know immediately after a
fall.

On this episode of Bone Talk, BHOF CEO Claire Gill sits down with physical
therapist and bone health specialist Kavita Patel for an in-depth
conversation on fall prevention—one of the most critical and often
overlooked aspects of bone health and osteoporosis care. With decades of
clinical experience, Kavita shares why preventing falls is just as
important as treating fractures, and how small, practical changes can
significantly reduce risk while helping people stay active and independent.
