Last year, I walked into my annual physical with a handful of questions.โฃ
โฃ
One being, โ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ณ๐ต ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ด ๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ผ๐ป...๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ?โโฃ
โฃ
I wasnโt trying to find something wrong but I was trying to establish a baseline and focus on prevention.โฃ
โฃ
Tbh, I expected everything to come back normal but instead, found out I have osteopenia in my hip joints. I was surprisedโฆand honestly, pretty effing pissed!โฃ
โฃ
It also slowly shifted the way I think about my health, not from fear but more curiosity and using information to be proactive.โฃ
โฃ
It made me look differently at how I strength train, how I nourish my body, and how I want to care for myself over the next several decades, not just short term.โฃ
โฃ
Iโm not saying everyone should go get a DEXA scan right now. โฃ
โฃ
Iโm sharing this because this is one question that gave me information I didnโt have before. โฃ

โฃ
Thatโs become one of the biggest shifts in my health journey.โฃ
โฃ
Not chasing perfection or assuming somethingโs wrong.โฃ
โฃ
Just staying curious enough to keep asking one more question.โฃ
