In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the principles of imaging studies, specifically DEXA, TBS, and REMS. He explains how to read and interpret the results of these imaging techniques and emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between them. The video also touches on the limitations and potential inaccuracies of these imaging methods. Overall, the goal is to help viewers better understand their own imaging data and how to use it to improve their bone health.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas fasting, a popular tool for metabolic health and longevity, but its impact on bone health, specifically for individuals with osteoporosis, is a topic of debate. While some concerns exist about fasting's potential negative effects on bone and muscle health, there is evidence to support its use.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses three foods that can improve bone health, dairy, prunes, and animal protein. Dairy has been misunderstood, but research shows that it can increase bone mineral density and reduce bone turnover markers. Prunes have numerous studies supporting their benefits, including preserving cortical bone structure and reducing bone loss. Animal protein, particularly from meat, is associated with higher bone mineral density and reduced fracture risk. These food choices may not be suitable for everyone, but they can be powerful tools for improving bone health.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the topic of finding the best exercise for osteoporosis and reviews a misleading article on jumping as a tool for improved bone mineral density. He emphasizes the importance of nuance and individualization in exercise recommendations. Tune in as Dr. Doug explores the details of a meta-analysis study on jumping and its limitations, particularly in relation to premenopausal women.

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses Boron, a supplement that has potential benefits for bone health. He reviews multiple studies that have shown that boron supplementation can increase levels of sex hormones, reduce inflammation, improve wound healing, and boost magnesium absorption. However, it is important to take boron in the right dosage, as excessive intake can lead to toxicity!
