Today, I’m joined by Dr. Doug Lucas, a leading expert on osteoporosis, as we dive deep into innovative approaches for reversing this widespread bone disease. With over 50 million people in the U.S. affected by osteoporosis, understanding the causes and solutions is more crucial than ever.
In this conversation, we explore how osteoporosis develops as a result of an imbalance in the body’s metabolic processes, making bones more fragile and prone to fractures. Dr. Lucas shares his expertise on shifting away from traditional pharmacological treatments and embracing lifestyle and dietary changes. We discuss the power of hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized nutrition, and how comprehensive testing like REMS ultrasound and blood panels can uncover the root causes of bone loss.

Tune in to uncover how small shifts in your daily habits can make a big impact on your bone health.
