"Through her leadership, innovation, and unwavering commitment to prevention-focused osteoporosis care, Dr. Carpenter is advancing patient outcomes."Claire Gill, CEO, Bone Health & Osteoporosis FoundationRead the full announcement →
A running, cited record of the research shaping the field, each with the source and Dr. Carpenter's perspective. Select an entry to read her full take.
Dr. Carpenter's Take Bone density turns out to be a whole-body signal, not just a fracture number. It's why we treat osteoporosis as preventive medicine, not a wait-and-see diagnosis. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take A powerful therapy, but not “set and forget.” Check vitamin D and calcium before and during treatment, that's how we keep an effective drug safe. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Two decades of data moved hormone therapy from feared to nuanced. The right answer is individual, and protecting bone is a real part of that conversation. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take More than double the hip-fracture risk is not a footnote. Modifiable risk factors belong in every bone-health plan, right alongside the scan and the labs. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Bone strength is about structure, not just density. The field is moving toward exactly the fuller picture we aim to give every patient. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take When a patient isn't responding well, we have more tools than ever. The art is matching the right therapy to the right person, not one-size-fits-all. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Every scan a patient already has is a chance to catch low bone density early. Opportunistic screening is the future, and the spirit behind “Demand the Scan.” Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Muscle protects bone. This is why we look at body composition, and why strength training and protein are part of the prescription, not an afterthought. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take A sobering projection, and a mandate. If fragility fractures in women are set to double by 2050, prevention can't be optional. Catching low bone density early bends that curve. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Bone health is daily-habit health. Small, sustainable routines compound over time, the same philosophy behind everything we build with patients. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take Technology that widens early detection is welcome, but a tool flags risk; a specialist builds the plan that actually prevents the fracture. Read →
Dr. Carpenter's Take A reminder that there's no shortcut around the fundamentals, supervised strength work and rehabilitation remain the backbone of recovery. Read →
