Beyond the Thyroid – Episode 41: Reversing Osteoporosis with Hormone Therapy

In this episode of Beyond the Thyroid, Dr. Dana Gibbs takes a deep dive into osteoporosis — and why bone loss is often misunderstood, undertreated, and unnecessarily feared. Rather than focusing solely on prescription bone drugs, Dr. Gibbs explains the critical role hormones play in bone health, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormone.

Using real patient stories and current science, Dr. Gibbs shows how osteoporosis is not just a calcium problem — it’s a hormonal and metabolic issue. She outlines how thoughtfully applied hormone therapy, combined with proper nutrition, supplements, and strength training, can stabilize or even improve bone density in the right patients.

This episode is essential listening if you’ve been told you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, are concerned about fractures, or want alternatives to standard pharmaceutical approaches.
