The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show · 5 Hidden Causes of Bone Loss (#4 Is a Shock) - Dr. Douglas Lucas · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

I would think it would be beneficial, but I just haven't seen any data on it.

As far as other anabolics, you and I have had conversations in the past about other potential tools.

And there's nothing that I would recommend right now because I just don't think the data is supported above what we are currently seeing, with the exception of the potential benefit of testosterone.

But the research, especially in women, is still pretty limited.

In men, it's better.

So definitely a tool worth considering, but clearly off-label.

It is just running parallel so strongly.

And this is why I ended up in my career really talking a lot about hormones in both men and women.

Right now, clinically, I'm creating protocols for hormone optimization for both men and women because bone is such an... Related to bones.

Yes, through the lens of bone.

Now we do it, we have a women's health program that I'm leading, but I love doing it through the lens of bone because bone tells us what's happening with hormones.

It is one of the few organ systems that gives us great feedback on levels,

dosing.

We talk about symptoms of menopause, perimenopause related to hormones, but those symptoms can be vague, can be related to other things.

It can be challenging to dose just based off of symptoms, but our bones are telling us objectively what's happening.

Yeah, so first let's talk about the bone turnover markers, because this is going to be really important.

So when we look at what's happening in bone, we have an opportunity to use imaging, which we've talked about, has its weaknesses, and it doesn't change very quickly, right?

So not a great tool from this perspective.

The bone turnover markers I talk about often, which are blood markers you can measure as frequently as you want to get your blood drawn, they measure that bone metabolism.

So the building of bone and the breakdown of bone.
