I’m delighted to welcome Dr. Doug Lucas today for the second episode of a two-part masterclass on bone health. He is double board-certified as both an orthopedic surgeon and an osteoporosis specialist, and he is on a mission to prove to the world that osteoporosis is both preventable and reversible. We continue our conversation, discussing bone health issues and diving into standards of care for osteopenia and osteoporosis. Dr. Doug unpacks the impact of drug therapies, from bisphosphonates to anabolics and lifestyle factors. We cover atypical fractures, mandibular necrosis, the challenges of hypermobility, and ways to support stability and training. Dr. Doug also breaks down osteogenic loading and training, clarifies why supplements are only as effective as your nutrition, and debunks common myths around bone health, mobility, and strength training. You will not want to miss this valuable and informative masterclass with Dr. Doug Lucas. It is jam-packed with helpful insights, so you will likely want to listen to it more than once. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The importance of personalizing supplements Why it’s essential to check your biomarkers before supplementing The specific minerals and vitamins that are important for bone health Why supplements should never replace foundational nutrition and lifestyle work How boron and fat-soluble vitamins benefit bone health The importance of personalizing your supplement plan How targeted testing and fewer supplements can yield better results How osteoporosis can improve and, in many cases, be reversed How peptides and GLP-1s impact bone health and muscle preservation The role of lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise in bone health Connect with Cynthia Thurlow Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website Submit your questions to [email protected] Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow) Cynthia’s Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!
