Hey there health enthusiasts, Olivia Willis back with you for another week.
 

Building or maintaining strong bones might not necessarily be your top priority when it comes to taking care of your physical health.
 

Bone health is often something people take for granted until an injury — or simply getting older — forces them to re-evaluate.
 

But it's a common misconception that fragile bones are only an older woman's problem. Or that bone health isn't something people need to think about when they're younger.
 

Millions of Australians live with poor bone health, and the "silent disease" of osteoporosis is expected to lead to one fracture every 30 seconds by 2033.
 

This week, my colleague Anna Salleh looked at how you can improve your bone health and reduce your risk of fractures. She also got the low-down on bone density tests — who needs one, how they work, and what costs Medicare will cover.
 

Also this week, the IVF industry is back in the spotlight after a second embryo bungle was found to have occurred at Monash IVF.
 

We've broken down the IVF process, what checks and balances are in place, and examine how rare such bungles are.
 

Finally, restrictions around LGBTQIA+ Australians donating blood and plasma are being loosened in a new world-leading move by Australian Red Cross Lifeblood.
 

I'll catch you next week.
