    This Birth Control Was Linked to 5% Hip Bone Loss in Just 2 Years

    Depo-Provera is an injectable birth control linked to measurable bone loss, particularly at the hip. In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down what the research shows, whether bone density recovers after stopping Depo, and what women should know about other hormonal contraceptives.Study Links https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18222431/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18827121/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18226668/https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/020246s036lbl.pdfhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24082040/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15784702/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10611199/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40607241/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16409223/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37939264/https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/fulltext/10.1097/01.aog.0000450758.95422.c8~committee-opinion-no-602-depot-medroxyprogesterone-acetatehttps://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WER8035-302-304🦴 Stronger Bones.

    GLP-1s, Weight Loss, and Your Bone Health

    GLP-1 medications can support significant weight loss, but some of that loss may come from lean mass, including muscle and bone. In this episode, Dr. Doug breaks down the current research on semaglutide, tirzepatide, bone turnover, and bone density. He also explains why baseline screening, adequate protein, resistance training, and ongoing body composition monitoring matter when balancing weight-loss and bone-health goals.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33567185/https://www.thelancet.com/journals/eclinm/article/PIIS2589-5370(24)00203-7/fulltexthttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2206038https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dmrr.3168🦴 Stronger Bones.

    Your Wrist Says Osteoporosis, but Your Hip and Spine Don’t. Now What?

    In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explains what it means when a DEXA scan shows osteoporosis at the wrist, but not at the hip or spine. He breaks down when the one-third radius should be measured and why an isolated wrist T-score may require more investigation. You’ll also learn how bone density at different scan sites relates to fracture risk and what information to consider before making treatment decisions.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8634613/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39403961/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2404146/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14606506/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35478046/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21810530/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19723465/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3213623/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7762910/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16699736/🦴 Stronger Bones.
