    Collagen for Bone Health: What the Research Really Shows

    In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas reviews whether collagen can actually support bone health, looking at the limited human research, why Fortibone has the strongest data, and why results may depend on a person’s starting bone turnover markers. He also explains why collagen sourcing and third-party testing matter, since contaminants can accumulate in collagen products.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29337906/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32131366/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37755240/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19892499/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30783776/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37883634/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25314004/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980546/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33562729/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11842160/🦴 Stronger Bones.

    Does Your Protein Source Matter for Bone Health?

    In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down why animal protein is generally more bioavailable than plant protein for bone and muscle health. He also explains how anti-nutrients in some plant foods can interfere with protein digestion and shares ways to improve absorption if you rely on plant-based protein.Study Links:https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114512002371https://doi.org/10.2527/1995.731118xhttps://doi.org/10.1021/jf950489thttps://doi.org/10.1021/jf00013a018https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11081825https://doi.org/10.1017/s0007114517000125🦴 Stronger Bones.

    Weighted Vest vs Whole Body Vibration for Bone Density: What This New Study Really Shows

    In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down a brand-new 2026 study on weighted vests vs. whole body vibration for bone density, osteoporosis, and osteopenia. He explains why the headline claim that weighted vests improve bone density is misleading, what the data really shows about fall risk and functional outcomes, and how Power Plate and whole body vibration actually support bone health.

    Why 1 in 4 Women on Hormones Are Still Losing Bone (And How to Know If You're One)

    In this video, Dr. Doug explains how estrogen dose, estradiol levels, and bone turnover markers can help show whether HRT is truly supporting bone health. He breaks down why DEXA and REMS can take 12 to 24 months to reflect change, while markers like CTX and P1NP can offer earlier insight. The key takeaway: bone health care should be individualized, tested, and optimized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all hormone dose.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10472854/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10550454/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10831925/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34645447/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12792297/https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05903820🦴 Stronger Bones.
