467. Bone Loss, Thyroid and Hormones: How to prevent Osteoporosis with Dr Doug Lucas

What a treat this episode will be as it is packed with insights you don't want to miss. Dr. Doug Lucas, an orthopedic surgeon turned bone health advocate, joins me to unveil the secrets of preventing osteoporosis through a combination of holistic strategies and cutting-edge science. We'll talk about his incredible work with Optimal Human Health and the Osteo Collective, where he’s making waves by reversing osteoporosis naturally and keeping bones robust for the long haul. Have you wondered what the difference is between osteoporosis and osteopenia? Dr. Doug will explakn the difference, and he will break down the myths around traditional calcium supplements and makes a strong case for magnesium, vitamin D3, and K2, and algae-based calcium as the real heroes in bone health.

Then, hormones take center stage as we dive into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and its profound benefits over standard bone medications that often come with a slew of side effects. Dr. Doug also demystifies the role of a suppressed TSH in bone density and opens up about the power of resistance and impact exercises for bone strength. From discussing practical workouts that build bone density to the right kind of protein (hint: think animal-derived), and touching on the sometimes misunderstood effects of diets on bone health, this conversation is a must listen with actionable tips.
