In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the topic of finding the best exercise for osteoporosis and reviews a misleading article on jumping as a tool for improved bone mineral density. He emphasizes the importance of nuance and individualization in exercise recommendations. Tune in as Dr. Doug explores the details of a meta-analysis study on jumping and its limitations, particularly in relation to premenopausal women.

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses Boron, a supplement that has potential benefits for bone health. He reviews multiple studies that have shown that boron supplementation can increase levels of sex hormones, reduce inflammation, improve wound healing, and boost magnesium absorption. However, it is important to take boron in the right dosage, as excessive intake can lead to toxicity!

In this episode Dr. Doug Lucas discusses creatine, or creatine monohydrate, it is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise. While commonly associated with weightlifting and muscle building, creatine has benefits for women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal. He explores multiple studies that show creatine's effect on bone strength and muscle mass.

This conversation explores the effectiveness of supplements in improving bone health and hormone balance. Dr. Doug Lucas emphasizes the importance of relying on evidence-based tools and products. The discussion focuses on the potential benefits of phytoestrogens, specifically genistein, in promoting bone health. He reviews research studies that demonstrate the positive effects of genistein supplements on bone mineral density. He also highlights the potential risks and interactions associated with these supplements, particularly for individuals with estrogen-related complications.

In this video, Dr. Lucas discusses the supplement KoAct, its claims, and the research behind it. He shares his process for reviewing supplements and highlights red flags in the marketing and promotion of KoAct. He delves into a clinical study on KoAct, analyzing its design, results, and implications for clinical practice.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses how he starts his day. He is a firm believer that stacking wins early in the day will lead to good days. Habits are how we improve our bone health and reverse osteoporosis naturally. As always, consistency is critical!

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the long-term data on the use of calcium and vitamin D for osteoporosis prevention and treatment. He reviews a recent Women's Health Initiative study, which included over 36,000 women. The conversation emphasizes the importance of considering other interventions and factors in addition to calcium and vitamin D for optimal bone health.

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the peptide, Hexarelin and its potential benefits for bone health. Hexarelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide that stimulates the growth hormone receptor in the brain. It has been shown to increase fat burn, decrease fat production, improve insulin sensitivity, increase lean muscle mass, and have potential cardiovascular benefits.
