You will get a lot of varying opinions on this topic.
I’ll give you my personal opinion based on my experience.
In 2018 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I was 58 years old.
After 5 different osteoporosis medications, and debilitating side effects, and 6 pelvic fractures, I decided to start hormone replacement therapy at 65 years old, 15 years past menopause. For me the benefits for my bones outweighs the risks of starting HRT at my age.
I will tell you that while exercise, healthy diet, and certain supplements are good for you and your bones overall, it will not be enough to grow bone. It just doesn’t work that way for the majority of people.
Do all the healthy things because it increases your healthspan, but you will probably need to address the bone loss eventually.
Best of luck.
