According to the CDC, 19.6% of women over 50 have a prevalence of osteoporosis. That’s nearly 1 in 5. I’ve been learning about osteoporosis lately and once my eyes were opened to this diagnosis, I knew I needed to bring on an expert in bone health to help us understand it. Dr. Doug Lucas joins us today to help us understand what osteoporosis is, risk factors, how genetics play a role, hormones and bone loss, and so much more.

After finishing his training at Stanford University Dr. Doug began medical practice as an orthopedic surgeon. Specializing in metabolic health, hormone optimization for both men and women, osteoporosis and longevity, Dr. Doug aims to address the underlying causes of chronic disease to improve both health span and lifespan.

If bone health is on your radar, this is one episode you must listen to. Dr. Doug provides other applicable information about dietary recommendations, supplements, and creating strong muscles to support your bones.

We discuss

• Risks for osteoporosis
• How to achieve strong skeletal strength
• Hormones and hormonal changes effects on bone health
• Birth control pills and bone health
• How muscle mass effects bone density
• Dietary and supplementary changes one can make to improve bone health
