The Dr. Doug Show Douglas Lucas

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.

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the importance of understanding your bone health risk. He delves into DEXA reports, T-scores and Z-scores. Early screening is crucial to understanding your bone health and taking appropriate action. Aim for optimal bone and muscle mass to reduce fracture risk and improve overall health!

In this conversation, Douglas Lucas interviews Julie Derr, a coach for women in the mid-lifetime period, about physical training, nutrition, wellness, and hormones. They discuss weight training, resistance training, cardio, and impact exercises for women in the midlife stage. Julie emphasizes the importance of strength training for bone health and recommends starting with basic bodyweight exercises and gradually progressing.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses Lactoferrin, a naturally occurring protein found in the milk of mammals, including humans. It has various health benefits, including antibacterial and antiviral properties, regulation of iron absorption and metabolism, anti-inflammatory effects, and improvement of immune function and gut health. Lactoferrin has been shown to be particularly effective in promoting bone health by stimulating bone formation and suppressing bone resorption. Human studies have demonstrated positive effects on inflammation and bone turnover markers!

In this video Dr. Doug Lucas discusses how osteoporosis can be reversed through a comprehensive program that addresses underlying factors such as bone metabolism, hormone health, gut health, stress, and lifestyle. The case study follows the journey of a 63-year-old man named Bob who was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. By implementing lifestyle changes, optimizing nutrition, and using targeted supplements, Bob was able to improve his bone health and reverse osteoporosis. Over the course of 12 months, his bone health score increased, his bone turnover markers improved, and his fracture risk was significantly reduced. This case demonstrates that osteoporosis can be reversed naturally in most people with the right approach!
