Episode Synopsis

Every episode on our podcast addresses a new topic important to your health and well-being, bringing in doctors, specialists and other health experts who offer advice and answer your most pressing questions.Today’s episode features two such topics – both quite different, yet as we’ll see, totally related. May is National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month, so it’s the perfect time to learn more about the most common type of bone disease. And our second topic impacts virtually every topic we have on this podcast, but few more than this one, so there’s no better time than now to address the issue of medication adherence – that is, how faithfully we take our medications as prescribed.Our expert on this topic today is Bethany Wallen. Bethany Wallen is a registered nurse and star ratings coordinator at Health Alliance in Champaign, Illinois.
