Hi, I'm Magnolia.

Welcome to StrongHer Within, a space created to share the raw, real, and empowering journey of rebuilding strength after an osteoporosis and osteopenia diagnosis. In November 2023, I was told I had osteoporosis of the hips and lumbar spine. As someone who works in the travel and hospitality industry and lives an active lifestyle, the news felt terrifying.

Doctors warned that even something as simple as a hug or a sneeze could cause a fracture. I was quickly offered medication, but after doing deep research, I chose a holistic path for now. I'm not against medication, but I believe in making informed, empowered choices. I gave myself two years to focus on nutrition, movement, mindset, and whole-body wellness. If needed, I’ll revisit my options then.

This blog exists to share what I’ve learned and continue to learn. It’s for women over 40 or 50 who want to feel seen, supported, and strong again, from within. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or already on your journey, or simply taking the necessary steps to build strong bones before a diagnosis you’re not alone here.

Let’s get stronger together, from Within.
