How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

I am 73 yr and started bio identical hormones compounded specifically for me for 15 yrs. Even though my doctors wanted me off I stayed on because I had no hot flashes, no vagina dryness and my skin looked great. When I was 67 yrs I was dx with stage 1 breast cancer…estrogen dependent. My oncologist believes strongly that it was the HRT.
There isn’t breast cancer in my family, I don’t smoke and not overweight.
Perhaps if one gets off after 5 yrs, they would have the benefit but maybe not the scare.

As an Art History Student at one time, I have no credentials to answer your question. However, I have lifted weights, but hand surgery has me out of the gym. Yes, it will help your bones, improve your posture, and give you real confidence. Go for it and you body will thank you in little ways like no more stumbles.

Both the COMB study and MOTS studies on positive bone building with Strontium appear to be legitimate clinical trials and not done by a company who were selling their supplements. I would love your feedback and Margaret Martin's and Dr. McCormick's after looking at the these clinical trials. They used Strontium Citrate plus K2m7 , D and other micronutrients . According to these studies strontium affects the trabecular bone in a positive way.

I was on a low dose HRT for 2 years immediately following menopause because at the time I had osteopenia (never had menopause symptoms). After the 2nd year I developed breast precancer (required surgery and now have ugly scars) and had to stop HRT because doctor said it can be a cause of cancer. I had no risk factors, no one in family with breast cancer, never smoked, not overweight. I am sorry I ever took HRT.

I found this article, thought you might find it interesting :

From what I’ve read, there are doctors who think it’s safe to stay on HRT for life. The problem w/ HRT was w/ synthetic hormones, now bioidentical HRT is available and considered safe. https://mitchellmed.com/synthetic-vs-bioidentical-hormone-replacement-therapy/

If I were going through menopause today, I would start bioidentical HRT immediately. My problem is that I’ve been post-menopausal for over 2 decades and I don’t want to start something that will cause another health problem. At the moment, I’m leaning towards trying a very low dose HRT but I haven’t decided yet. If anyone reading this started HRT more than 10 yrs after menopause, I would love to hear about your experience.

Strontium citrate is an earth mineral similar to calcium. The body seems to use it in bone similar to the way it uses calcium. Research has shown that strontium seems to turn on calcium receptors in the body.
Some on this site have said that strontium produces false readings and that bone is not healthier as you use strontium. Research has not shown that to be the case. Instead research shows that strontium produces bone that is less likely to fracture and bone mineralization is kept. Research also shows that the dxa read may be as high as 10% too high because strontium is a heavier mineral. This is called the dxa skew, but as long as the dxa skews upward the actual number is not as important since many things may skew a dxa number including different dxa machines.

BoneLady has a good blog that shows current research and comparisons.

Here are some postings on Inspire with research for strontium

I hope that this may be helpful as you research your options.

Teri, thank you for the link. I like his approach, and found the information to be helpful. Love that he discussed the MOTS and COMB studies and the link of micronutrients working synergistically with Strontium Citrate.
