EPISODE 69: Reclaiming Strength: Building a Positive Vision After an Osteoporosis Diagnosis
Claire Gill, CEO of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, sat down with Jenna Zaffino, a board-certified health and wellness coach, to discuss building a powerful vision for wellbeing after an osteoporosis diagnosis. Receiving such a diagnosis can be daunting, but it can also be a transformative opportunity to prioritize health and create a fulfilling life.
Jenna shared how a diagnosis often creates fear and uncertainty, but it doesn’t have to define your future. She emphasizes acknowledging that initial fear while also exploring what brings joy and meaning to life.
Wellbeing isn’t about achieving perfection or following rigid rules, it’s about creating a personalized vision of health that aligns with what truly matters. Jenna described how she helps clients identify life-enhancing goals rooted in joy, connection, and purpose.
Creating lasting change comes from making small, manageable adjustments rather than drastic overhauls. Jenna encourages starting with something as simple as drinking more water or taking short walks.
Support systems can be critical for sustaining positive changes. Surrounding yourself with people who share your goals can make the journey easier and more enjoyable. It’s also helpful to have accountability with others who have the same mindset about their health and well-being.
An osteoporosis diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define your life. By cultivating a personalized wellness vision, embracing small changes, and building a supportive community, you can create a life filled with vitality and joy.
