Dr. Doug, I absolutely appreciate your content. Respectfully, I must ask that you reconsider and eliminate the blinking lights on the model of your logo. In my opinion, it adds nothing to your presentation and in fact is very distracting. If I look away from it, I miss your charts and stats regarding titles and sources to find evidence and studies. Your video presence has good impact without the lights, which detract and interfere with focus on content. Thank you for your tremendous efforts to educate and clarify complex information for those of us whose lives are affected by loss of bone health. Yours is a trustworthy presence and source of immensely helpful and encouraging information.
Thank you so much for this feedback, I greatly appreciate it. I am glad you are enjoying them!
I cover it up with my left hand (watching on an iPad).
I like the lights. They go well with the shirt.
@@peggycartmill8019 So you don’t care about the dozens of people who agreed that the lights are distracting, and in one case, a concern for triggering a seizure? Interesting.
Yes, please stop the flashing display. I had to block it on my screen to be able to focus on your presentation. Sensitive to strobes and such …
Great video and content. But….can you turn off the logo? On the video they are flashing and it doesn’t help you, because my eyes keep going to the flashing lights.
Yes! Thank you for this feedback
That light and logo are awful. I agree. Can't watch. Will listen. @@Dr_DougLucas
But it looks great though!
Yes, hecka distracting
Yes please turn it off. I hope you didn't have to pay anyone for that. Otherwise really great content, thanks!
I think I'm tripping on that bizarre light behind you. Very distracting 😂🎉 💫
I apologize, this light will be turned off for all future videos.
Dr. Doug, I’m so happy that I’ve found your channel. Thank you so much for the invaluable information. I’m having a hard time watching this video due to the flashing lights on your logo sign on the wall behind you. If you can turn off the flashing I’d really appreciate it!
Thank you for watching! And yes, the sign will be turned off for all future videos, I apologize!
Also can you do a video on weighted vests and whether they can help?
Hi! Checkout the video on my channel called "Weight Vests for Osteoporosis? Do They Really Build Bone?"
@@Dr_DougLucas
This is what I much rather do I would much rather lift weights do squats deadlifts as heavy as I can and eat healthy and eat protein, I would much rather do these things than to take those horrible drugs with the black box warning that might destroy my digestive system, I wish more doctors would recommend strength training and high protein healthy diets versus giving out those bone drugs that come with warnings and side effects
Right? Side effects of healthy exercise and diet are improved health overall.. much more preferable to the side effects of the drugs. Diet and lifestyle are always my first choice if I have the ability and time for them to do their thing.
My doctor recommended
The shot and calcium
I refused the shot , and the nurse got Angery and said why are you here if your not going to follow our treatment plan !
@@ritaschultz6859I hope you told her to keep her place.
Yes, I agree! Thank you for sharing this
@@ritaschultz6859 it's very upsetting and weird when a doctor or a nurse gets mad at us for not wanting to put something in our body that might do more harm , it's like what do they care they're not the ones that are going to suffer the consequences and side effects ,, those types of medical people have no compassion,, why are we here? The real question is why are they here?
Thank you for reviewing and discussing current research results! I love your clear, very thorough explanations and carefully balanced approach to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate your support!
You are a God sent! Great research and delivery! I just learned a lot…impact and resistance is top! Im trying👍
I sharing with my 60 plus gang😉👏👏👏
Thats great!! Thank you for watching!
Oh please! I must agree. The running, flashing lights are very difficult my eyes. I love your very informative videos.

Thank you Dr. Doug, for understanding some people are sensitive to lights that are bright, flashing, running .
Your content is so valuable to pass up 😊
@@kerenstar13 Thank you so much, very glad to hear you enjoy them!
I am curious whether gender and age was taken into consideration regarding increasing P1NP with resistance training. Was the percentage growth as high for postmenopausal women vs young men? I assume it does have a favorable impact, but curious if the study finds a difference based on age and gender?
I generally look for studies on our population of interest. Women aged 40 and up and post menopausal women. Most studies that use these biomarkers are also working with this same population of interest.
Great info..I started with a new physician recently and he was just fantastic. Went along with my distaste for current meds for this condition and praised my approach. I feel great with this. I need to find a way to do the weights at home. I do hand weights and bands and body weight, jumping etc now. Closest gym is an hour away, so not something I can keep up. Some recommendations for this kind of situation?
Also, I had grand mal seizure years (30+) ago.. but is still very careful about flashing lights. I feel awful when I watch your videos now..I am now forced to just listen to them while I walk with earbuds. Please!! I see others mentioning it.. trigger warning perhaps?
Thanks for another interesting video.
One thing I like is using a kettlebell and going along with a UA-camr. There are several great ones. You can Google for a 5 minute,then a 10 minute etc, build your way up. You could start with a 10 lb. you are used to working out.
Checkout the video on my channel called "Maybe the Best Alternative Exercise for Osteoporosis That You Can Do At Home?" And yes, I apologize. The light will be turned off for all future videos.
Respectfully, I ask that you remove the blinking lights on the model of your logo. Thank you! I am one of your patients who did take Reclast in the past and my P1NP and CTX are both extremely low. If you find more studies on French Pine Bark extract, please include the information in the future. You may find that more people who were carb eaters and now 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight eaters may begin having elevated cholesterol. French Pine Bark Extract may be interesting addition to the toolbox. I never miss one of your videos. I am grateful.
Thank you for sharing this! I appreciate your feedback!
Do you know if vitamin K2-7 is helpful in getting calcium supplements directly to the bone?
Yes. Also add Boron 3 mg and liquid silica 10 ml daily along with Vit D3 7,000 IU.

I love your content and have learned a tremendous amount of valuable information. One quick comment: I am a numbers person so it would be wonderful if you could start using actual absolute numbers instead of saying "low" or "high" as it pertains to CTx and P1NP. Especially now that many of us are measuring our own values. I understand that we don't have a really good handle on what the values/ratios mean but it has always been my pet peeve when someone says "high" or "low" or "big" or "small" without quantifying it. Thank you!
He does link some studies in the video summaries, so figures should be available
Thank you so much for this feedback!
When my brother was a young man he served in the army. The constant training gave him extensive stress fractures in his legs that required hospitalization, and he was by no means the only one. I hypothesize that his bones were unable to adapt quickly enough to the added stress. It would be interesting to see if information is available about bone health in medium to long term runners. Perhaps age is a factor. And yes, please turn off lights during video, it is definitely unpleasant. Or at least get some that do not blink.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
How do you do weight lifting when the spine already has fractures from osteoporosis?
Heal, then train.
Will spine fusion even hold if my osteoporosis is so bad? Tscore -3.6. How to heal osteoporosis when cant exercise. Circular logic
What about heel drops? Is that enough impact to build bone? I try to do 400 a day.
I’d love to see a study on it! I do recommend them though.
Resistance training is best. Good to know.
It sure is!
Please turn off the flickering light on the wall behind you. It could induce migraines in susceptible people.
It will be turned off for all future videos. I apologize for the flashing!
I recently read that strontium is debatable when helping with osteoporosis, and that it stays in your system for up to 10 years, skewing your bone density scan. Dr. Doug, do you know anything about this?
Not sure about the clearance but I would assume if it’s incorporated into bone it’ll be around for awhile! We don’t know if it improves bone strength but will have an impact on DEXA BMD. I use it for very low BMD only.
Hello - at end you mention jumping improves bone density. But earlier you mention running of little benefit and maybe detrimental but isn’t running a little like jumping with each step? Or jumping is short duration unlike running with the smaller jumps over long period so then bad?
I was going to ask the same question
With jumping you would put force through your feet, while running is more like bouncing off the balls of your feet.
One would need to work up to jumping. A physical therapist should be able to guide you.
I started doing a program, under guidance, which begins with heel drops and will focus on proper form as I work up to jumping.
Agree with what’s said here. It’s the frequency and intensity that matters.
For all those in Ontario Canada who thought you can not get a P1NP test done. You can through Dynacare. They have a few in the general Toronto area. You just need to get a GP\family doctor to do the request. It took a bit if work to find out who does it here! Someone here in these comments said you can not get it in Canada. You might have to be pushy with your GP. I am seeing my doctor about it this month. CTX is done here too but P1NP sounds like the right one to do as per Dr Doug in the master class session too.
Thanks so much, that’s great to know!
Thank you for sharing this!
In BC not allowed by my GP!
I found out in Ontario the availability of this test is being monitored for demand. It sounds like it is a trial only that is about to end. Testing to see how many doctors are requesting this test and how many are interested ipaying for it. It will not be available soon I think.
Unfortunately, I can not watch the video with the lights flashing. I’ll turn the screen away and just listen.
The sign in the back will be turned off for all future videos. I apologize for flashing!
Awesome. I appreciate what you share. Thank you 🙏

Would you ever be willing to do any type of video on the best practices and best current hip replacement prosthetics / surgical preference? That would be awesome. Maybe something that goes on to expand toward what makes a good joint-based prosthetic in general. No idea if it would be for everybody but I'd find it super interesting!
Yes! I will add this to my list
I know this is probably a completely different issue that you are discussing but l am desperate here. Please is there anything that can be done about bone loss in mouth area for oral health. Please any help at all would be greatly appreciated. God bless for all the help you give.
Unfortunately, I’m not a dentist but I would recommend to my patients to avoid antiresorptive drugs that could make that worse!
Have you seen anything that compares the effect on bones with muscle resistance training for strength (low reps 1-5 w/ higher weight, like powerlifters) vs mass (higher reps 8-15, like bodybuilders)?
Healthspan info often talks about sarcopenia as we age being a risk factor (for many things) which can be combatted by muscle mass ahead of time, yet there is info about being able to increase strength as we age not as affected as the muscle mass (or the ability to gain mass once in the sarcopenic age ranges).
Most of the bone density info I have found seems to only compare muscle resistance in general with impact and/or aerobic/cardio--not powerlifting type for strength gains vs bodybuilding type for muscle mass.
There is some literature that compares number of reps for muscle gains (usually measured in mass or size, so bodybuilder goals), but I'm not clear how those measurements translate to bone gains.
I'd really like to see something that has people go to failure (of good form) or maybe 1 or 2 RIR with every set using the same exercises as each other and same number of sets performed the same days per week, but with a different number of reps (using weight sufficient to accomplish that).. and then measure P1NP, CTX, maybe REMs, and DeXA. Sigh, one can hope...
Try looking at the Liftmor trials conducted by Belinda Beck from Australia. Her trial used 5 reps x 5 sets lifting at 80% max single rep twice per week, and included deadlift (which she says is the critical exercise), overhead press, barbell squat and drop jumps. The outcomes of that trial were fantastic and were unique in that it was a good study of high impact, high intensity exercise on post-menopausal women. Doctors often say don’t lift weights to older women, but the trial demonstrated that it is safe IF SUPERVISED and effective IF PROGRESSIVE. As she says, the bone needs stimulation at that 80% rate to improve bone density. I am undertaking her ONERO program that was based on the Liftmor trial and whilst taking care with excellent technique, the idea is to progressively load the bone at that %. So, my single rep max for the deadlift was calculated at 40kg. I started with basically wooden plates and am currently lifting 36kg. My barbell squat is 16kg (max 20) and overhead is 10kg (max is 10). I’m not entirely sure that the calculations for the max weight are rigorous enough, but the other factor involved is the physical limitations of individuals with disc, joint and arthritic conditions a factor. My personal approach now is to specifically undertake “bone” exercise along with cardio and other strength work to build muscle and avoid sarcopenia.
@@magpiegirl3783 Congrats on your progress! :) Thanks, I actually am familiar with the LIFTMOR RCT, as it was done back in 2015 I think it was (but published in 2017). After reviewing it again, I think some of the references they provide might be helpful more helpful for what I'm looking for than that particular study itself.
LIFTMOR was inspirational to me when I asked for my first DeXA and discovered my low BMD, well within the osteoporosis range. It was a good trial to show that postmenopausal women with non-ideal bone densities can actually safely lift weight ans not just do low intensity balance exercises, etc. (which I believe it was designed to do). Unfortunately the trial itself design doesn't show what I'm looking to figure out right now.
The intervention program not only had strength types of muscle resistance (80% 1 RM), but also impact movements. The groups had different exercises (intervention had deadlift, overhead press, and squat in addition to the jumping chinups with drop landing), and the control group's program (walking, lunges, calf raises, standing forward raise, shrugs in addition to various stretches.. all starting with bodyweight and progressing to a max of 3Kg handweights during the final month of that control program) was "designed to improve balance and mobility but provide minimal stimulus to bone."
I'm going to see if any of the references fit more of what I'm looking to find. Thanks and well-wishes! :)

How does that convert to pounds?
I think you may be over thinking it. Both are great if they can be done safely. The difference between the two is negligible, especially for an untrained population.
GET RID OF THE FLASHING SIGN BEHIND YOU!!!
Hi! Yes, sorry about that. It is not in any of the videos published after this one.
You could have written that in a nicer manner and without exclamation points
Ironic. I started running at menopause, which corresponded to a diagnosis of Hashimotos. I was 49, and I had done strength training, and I walked, but these did not appear (even once I started taking thyroid hormone,) to keep my weight under control. A couple of friends had joined a local marathon training group, and beinh a little competitive, I thought, "If THEY can do it, I can." And I learned to love running. One thing I liked about their training was that they did NOT have you run miles and miles every day, and it turned out that the year I actually ran our local marathon (after three years of running with this group,) I was also going to a "functional training" gym, where my bones SHOULD have been getting all the good stuff, and it was too much for me to also run for 30 or 40 minutes (mostly my leg muscles were just too spent by Saturday to do the long run.) So I worked out at this gym 4 days per week, did the long run on Saturday, and found it very doable.
I couldn't afford to keep paying for this gym membership, and it did seem I was having a harder and harder time (just always SOo sore,) but I kept running. One marathon was enough, but i still did half marathons, 10k events, my first ever Hood to Coast relay (where each runner would complete 3 legs of between 5 and 7 miles in a 24-30 hour time frame,) and then did my last major running event in 2019, a Ragnar trail relay (where at least one tumble was pretty much guaranteed, because fatigue and roots are not a good combo.)
Covid threw a spanner into a lot of things, and I struggled to run as much in 2020, but I did work out at home (lots of online options offered free that year.) By 2021, it was just starting to be hard, AND I was starting to feel it in my back. I was starting to feel lots of things in my back, and now I know why: I had probably progressed to "severe" osteoporosis...I don't know, 5? 8? years prior. I'm not blaming running for my propensity to lose bone, but also ironically, I had heard that distance running broke down muscle, and as I'd always had "thunder thighs" i kind of wanted that. Kind of makes sense that it would also break down bone, but--my mom had told me her doctor told her running was the best thing she could do for her bones, so...I was doing the right thing in that regard, i thought. Oh well. My body absolutely will not tolerate running now (three attempts, three injuries to my back; finally learned.) It's not "all good" but I'm certainly learning a lot. Unfortunately, physical therapist doesn't think I'm strong enough for "Starting Strength" yet (where squats and deadlifts are the foundation of their method,) and I might agree, but how do you get stronger without things that make you stronger? (I'm still doing squats with dumbbells.)
This is very interesting, thank you so much for sharing your story!
But what should/can one do in this case?@OptimalBoneHealthwithDrDoug
Drug companies do not rich off of curing you. They get rich by treating you.
Simple but powerful statement! Thank you for sharing that.
I am disappointed that you did not mention taking K2 Strontium Boron and D3 supplements as an aid to stopping bone loss. I have seen my loss of bone loss halted in my dexa scan in only 6 months after introducing these supplements and my Doctor was amazed as well as I was. Now continuing to see if I can reverse these numbers. 72 years old.

Also, Dr. Lucas, where does one go looking for a trainer that is knowledgeable about the latest research on osteoporosis and exercise, who is willing to oversee resistance training at 60-85% one rep max weight? When I mentioned this to my PCP, she was alarmed. (sigh)
Start with a local online search. So many trainers out there. Maybe get advice from someone online like OsteoPorosis Trainer (Rachel Ridgeway) but then use a local knuckehead to monitor technique.
@@Dr_DougLucas Great idea for a workaround! I will look up Rachel Ridgeway. Thank you.

@@Dr_DougLucas P.S. Just fyi, I've interviewed a few local trainers, and today I had one tell me that unless I took medications for osteoporosis, there was not much I could do about my bone density. Obviously not a good fit, but sad to be confronted with the ignorance.

I have a question about high levels of tp1NP...
I got 95.7, and the normal range is 15.1-58.6.
What conditions can cause high levels of tp1NP or this can be attributed to exercising?
I do go to the gym 3-4 times a week (resistance training) and ride my bicycle 1-2 times a week (for transportation, but I count that as cardio).
I started going to the gym about 2 years ago and didn't check my lab at that time.

Thanks , Dr !'
I appreciate your feedback!
Thank you for this P1NP video! U finally mentioned impact training as in jumping. I had asked you months ago if jumping can help but you said there were no studies to show that it helps. From the amount of information I collected, jumping and hopscotch seems to help a lot. Would you be able to do a video focusing on impact training in future Dr?
Yes, I have one video on my channel about rebounding. I will do an updated video in the future!
@@Dr_DougLucas Yes i have watched that rebounding video earlier. Am not too keen on that. Also watched your vibration videos. Hoping for your consideration to do impact training focusing on jumping video in future. Thanks Dr!
Dancing helps. Folk, contra, square are often overlooked but great cardio with lots of bounce. Plus the music and happy dancers keep you moving longer and not bored. Mental boost for music, coordinating with dance moves and socialization.
Strange that impacts are good for bone but running is bad, which involves lots of impacts
Don’t confuse frequency with intensity. Lots of steps is not the same as high impact force. Additionally runners are often under muscled and under fed.
@@Dr_DougLucas - Thanks

I am very much looking forward to new videos as well as to going through all your old content.
In this video, you mention that resistance training is king, but you also talk about the benefits of impact training. For a person with osteoporosis who is still very, very fit and sporty, what are the best forms of high-impact training?

Dr. Lucas, does rebounding qualify as impact training? Has rebounding been studied in relation to BMD, CTX, or P1NP? It is promoted as a remedy for bone health, but rebounding is noticeably absent from mention in your videos, at least as far I've seen so far.

Thanks again. Two quick questions: Is Pycnogenol the same as French Pine Bark Extract? That is one pops up in google most often when I search for it. Also, what kind of doctor would order or know about CTX or P1NP? My PCP only suggested taking high doses of calcium and nothing more after my last DEXA should mild osteopenia.
An Endochronologist usually but mainly to track how OP meds are working. My Ctx was ordered by a PA from Healthy Bone Program (since closed) that was an outreach of hospital's Orthopedic Dept.

I took Fosamax for several months about 20 years ago and developed ulcerative colitis. Exercise therapy was never mentioned. It took me about 15 years of pain and medication but now it’s completely healed. I’m still osteopenia but now I’m going the exercise route and have consulted with a trainer to help me with this.
I asked that question too (on the companion video last week.) Pycnogenol seems to be less expensive...wouldn't mind that. 😅
They are similar but not identical. Both have benefits but seem to be different. P1NP can be ordered by any doctor or on your own if you live in the US. Go through the bone foundations course to learn more about that. It’s free.

Any thoughts on scoliosis with osteoprosis at apex of curve. I have heard of incorrect DEXA readings when there is scoliosis.
How come incorrect DEXA readings with scoliosis?
For sure. DEXA will be less accurate with deformity, arthritis and previous surgery. Get a REMS and look at other body parts for guidance.

@@Dr_DougLucas Good on you, Chummy.
What about raisins and prunes?
Hi! Checkout the video on my channel called "The BEST FRUIT for Osteoporosis! UPDATE!"
Great info!!
Thank you for watching!
Love your work, Dr. Doug. So, Anamorelin..... what about Ipamorelin/Oratrope/MK-677? I gained 18 lbs. of muscle in 3 months and had a small increase in bmd over 6 months as measured by Echolight REMS. I have several members at my OsteoStrong that are taking it as well. I don't have data for them yet, but I think it may be a promising avenue... Thanks again for consistent, high integrity, high value content. I recommend you to all of our members.

I was diagnosed with OP at age 40 and now I'm 66. Recently my P1NP was measured at 56 and my CTX was 656. Doctors want me to take a drug and I am considering Forteo. I do exercise, walk with weight vest, ride bike, and lift weights. Would you say my numbers mean I should take a drug?

So I have a question ballet dancers who engage in a LOT of regular jumping , dancing , stretching and very difficult exercises. That they do for hours a day have a higher risk for osteoporosis and stress fractures and fractures in general. But they do jump a lot. At least as much as gymnasts. Why do they have such an increased incidence?

Thank you very interesting. I have taken pycnogenal ( F Maritime pine bark ) on and off since the early 90's. Saw a video of before and 1 hour after on live blood under a microscope it is amazing stuff gets the platelets moving and huge antioxidant I think it is better than aspirin to prevent blot clots. I also grow black and red currents they are a delight and you can buy them dehydrated instead of the oil. I am afraid to take Calcium but do take Vit D and also eat Natto with the K2 and other benefits it is also an anti fibrin which is good against clots one study said similar to heparin and will start to reduce artery plaque after 8 weeks. Scientists are looking at that for Covid damage and the vaccine damage with the clots that are not really blood clots.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, 54 yo female, 5’9”, 155 lbs, no underlying condition, not taking any medication, low carb diet and keto for the past 20 years and I was running every day 3-5 miles average for the past 15 years. I found out about diagnosis by accident, after foot surgery and follow up x ray . My dexa scan has various numbers and some of them are in 4th stage of osteoporosis. I was given Fosamax, but refuse to take it. I was always low on vitamin D. What is the best course for me to take? Thank you 🙏

Hi Dr Doug, I read the first study about the runners and resistence training and I was wanting clarity. You mentioned doing squats and that would include using a bar bell or kettlebell when doing them. Correct? This is what have restarted doing in the last few months. Thank you.

If we're taking Fosomax, how do we make the determination as to whether we should stop? I've been taking it, as my doctor prescribed, since Jan 2021 (age 58). My bone-density test 2.5 years later showed an increase in density at the spine but no change in the hips after 2.5 years on Fosomax and resistance training. She said I could continue on Fosomax, which I've done, or switch to Prolia. How can we determine the best course for ourselves?
Hi! it is best to discuss your specific case in depth with a specialist so they can assist in deciding the proper path for you. More information is needed. If you are interested in learning about our program you may schedule a discovery call at this link-->www.optimalbonehealth.com/membership
Hi Dr Doug
Is evista a part of the prolia group bisphosphonates?
Evista is a SERM. Estrogen receptor modifier. It acts similarly to estrogen but with different risks and side effects.
Thank you so much so I guess is it worth trying I have 30 days supply, from my doctor for two months now that I have not tried worth to try it? Idk but I really am a bad patient when it comes to medication, thank you tho for everything you do to teach people, your very trustworthy!
@@pambarrett39 That'll give you a sense of the side effects if you have any but not enough time to significantly impact bone quality.
Indirect benefit of Pregnenolone through hormones maybe worth looking at. Some functional MDs use for OP. Edit: found anamorelin study but links helpful. Study in 2015 on same drug. IGF1 levels also incr in both. Too bad not free full open access on newer. Hoping to thru contacts. Maybe start online library of these esp OP related. Other MDs on YT, ie Dr Mobeen Sayad, did this for small fee.
Thank you for sharing this!
Regarding bone building, what do you know about KoAct (calcium collagen chelate and calcium fructoborate) or ch-OSA (choline stablized orthosili-something acid) as collagen supports. Both are claimed to have studies linked to their use. Do you have a video that discusses the role of collagen supplementation or collagen generation supplements in bone health? Thanks.
Checkout the video on my channel called "Collagen for Osteoporosis? Facts and Fraud"
Dr, Thank you for mentiong NTX testing with urine. I will definitely ask my GP is it can be done as CTX is way too expensive to continue to test in my country. Would NTX results be just as good as CTX for bone resorption understanding?
I'm not well trained in NTX. I'm not sure if the switch to CTX was for convenience or accuracy.
Thank you for the information. If there are no supplements that are really good for bone grow/health then we should not be taking a lot of calcium that dr always preach, right?

The currant supplement is pronounced current, and black currant seed oil has been available fo7r decades as far as I know. I'm pretty sure I used to take it. By the way I kind of like the lights but I keep my screen a little bit dark.
Thank you for sharing this!
I'm confused... isn't running also a resistance and impact exercise? Why does the study presented indicate bone loss during running?
Running is a lot of low level impact. Not enough to stimulate bone. Additionally, runners are generally running too far, underfed and under muscled.
What about Vit D, magnesium and Vit K2? Please comment on these. Thank you, Dr. Doug.
They are all great and required to build bone. Just not mentioned in these studies.

What is the supplement you said you're thinking about incorporating for people with cholesterol issues? You didnt name it.
Lipitrol. French Marytime Bark Extract. Reduces oxidized LDL.
I have not taken any OP meds & only had Ctx tested, not N1NP because it was recommended I take a bisphosphonate which I never have. As you cover in your video, I was concerned bone formation would be suppressed along with bone breakdown with a bisphosphonate/antiresorptive med. Doesn't HRT also do the same thing as an antiresorptive med & suppress osteoclasts & therefore suppress osteoblasts? Thank you for your content.
Your welcome! The difference between bisphosphonates and estrogen is that estrogen is natural and naturally slows down osteoclast function. We see reduction in CTX from baseline but no where near as low as if on bisphosphonates. Additionally, testosterone pushes P1NP as well as progesterone. So, you improve the whole metabolism of bone rather than one side.
great and new info for me but trying to take notes was difficult...please slow down a little bit to better absorb the info. thanks.

How about walking? They say walking but doesn’t seem to make sense to me!
It’ll slow bone loss but not build bone.
Would using a rebounder help build bone? It’s a controlled form of jumping.

I think I heard something about currants and bone health a while back and tried to find them at Publix here in Florida. I used to eat them years ago while dieting. I think they were fairly low in calories and similar taste to raisins. Can't find them now at Publix. I do wish grocery stores (esp. in places like Florida with larger older population) would carry and promote products that help with issues like osteoporosis but I guess they don't make the kind of money that something like Doritos does. Love your content. I've learned so much about how to take charge of my own health.
Yes, some of this is tough to get in certain states. Glad these videos are helpful, thank you for watching!

Dr. Doug, is it ok to take Magnesium at the same time as D3 or zinc or other minerals or vitamins? Or should they be taken at different intervals? 😊
Magnesium binds to Calcium, so take at least 2 hours apart. Don’t buy a supplement with both together.
@@reba5679thanks! I’ve heard that too! I’ve also heard it binds to Zinc. I wonder if it binds to any other mineral (or vitamin) 🤔
the best form of Magnesium is Mag365
There is a lot of controversy here. If you go by all of the potential rules you’ll spend all day taking supplements on specific intervals. I think a lot of that is garbage. We give mag and ca together and our patients mag levels are great and they are building bone. Seems good to me.
@@Dr_DougLucas awesome! Thanks!!
