Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down his newly published 2026 research on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and its potential role in bone loss, osteoporosis, and declining bone density during perimenopause and menopause. He explores how rising FSH levels may affect bone breakdown independently of estrogen, what FSH blood tests reveal about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and whether supplements, resistance training, and lifestyle changes can help protect bone health.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone?location=Spotify🔗 Study Links Dr. Doug's co-authored study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42739753/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16630814/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22908268/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36125123/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21159522/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30275766/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00198-002-1307-xhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31442329/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36692543/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39394788/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8784098/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10400822/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00223-008-9126-5https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21159842/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18647816/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22344196/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9715373/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17550960/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22659249/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37522657/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13680264/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20833488/https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/202795https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15084240/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21163595/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17577003/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18433304/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23675006/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261993/https://pubmed.ncbi.

Dr. Doug Lucas reveals why DEXA scans may not accurately reflect changes in bone density, explaining how measurement errors, least significant change (LSC), and inconsistent testing can affect osteoporosis and osteopenia results. He compares DEXA vs. REMS bone scans, shares his own reported 20% bone density improvement, and explains how bone turnover markers and long-term testing trends can help patients better understand their bone health.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone?location=Spotify
Dr. Doug Lucas sits down with Dr. Tyna Moore to discuss how hormone replacement therapy (HRT), perimenopause, and menopause affect bone density, joint pain, muscle health, and osteoporosis prevention. They also explore GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and semaglutide, the potential risks of muscle and bone loss during weight loss, GLP-1 microdosing, and why strength training and metabolic health are essential for healthy aging.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone?location=Spotify🔗 Dr. Tyna's YT Channel: http://www.youtube.com/@drtyna 🔗 Dr. Tyna's website: drtyna.com🔗 The Menopause Rebellion: https://www.skool.com/drtyna

Dr. Doug sits down with Dr. Tony Keaveny to explore biomechanical CT (BCT), an emerging bone imaging tool that uses CT scans and finite element analysis to measure bone density, bone strength, and fracture risk beyond what a DEXA scan can show. They compare BCT vs. DEXA and FRAX, discuss radiation exposure and new Medicare coverage, and explain who may benefit from BCT when evaluating osteoporosis, conflicting bone density results, or spine surgery risk.🔗How to order the O.N.
