I am so thankful and thrilled. I am 63, had a bone density last Fall, my Dr wanted me to start medication to improve bone density as I was in a high risk category as my Dexa was not good. I thought about it, almost did, but didn’t. Instead I challenged the Dr with a plan I came up with. He said he would do another Dexa this year. I just had it done and my Dr messaged me that my bone management is working. There was a 15 % increase in my right hip, and a 22% increase, compared to my last Dexa scan, in bone density in my left hip. I have worked hard at this and your videos encourage me and I learn so much. I mostly use the Grow Bone kit made by Garden of Life. I lift weights, bought a vibration plate, walk fast on a treadmill, plus a little more things at times. I also added melatonin daily. I do use soy. At least for me this plan is working and I am so grateful! Thank you for your videos!
That’s wonderful! Congratulations! Just starting out here and trying to figure out what to eat (I tend to be more plant based but need more protein and maybe dairy calcium?) I’m concerned about what is actually being absorbed versus what I am consuming seeing as so many of my favorite vegetables-kale and spinach and many others are high oxalate. What vibration plate did you buy? How much melatonin? Thank you and once again your story gives hope. Thank you.
@@trixiegirl9401 he did a video on the vibration plates. i just purchased the power plate but have not started yet....they use it at osteostrong. i also ordered a weighted vest which has not yet arrived.
When I was told I had osteoporosis, I started doing research and that’s when I found you, Dr. Lucas. I joined Osteostrong after watching your interview with the owner. But I think it’s a combination of tools that works the best. So I don’t skip meals anymore. I eat a lot more protein. I’m also doing heel drops and getting more sleep. I’m going to have a DEXA scan next March and we’ll see if that’s working.
May I ask what is Osteostrong? I have osteoporosis and had taken Alendronate for 4 years + calcium+D3 but it didn’t help. Now my doc wants to put me to the injection medication… which I don’t know should I or shouldn’t.?!?
I have found Dr Doug, Margaret Martin, and the Mayo Clinic Osteoporosis support group to be very helpful. I still haven’t figured out my path forward but would really like to avoid pharmaceuticals. In the support group there are many taking medication and it’s very helpful to hear about their experiences as well. Maybe helpful for you? Good luck!

Resistance and impact training, bio HRT, BUT! Dexa still getting worse.....starting to doubt dexa is reliable, I am 5'7" ,113 lbs. I think dexa underestimates small women. I hope that's not just wishful thinking.
You are absolutely correct to doubt the Dexa. Get a REMS Echolight test. I am a small woman and on Dexa my L spine T score was -3.6. I was suspicious about accuracy so I had a REMS. My T score on REMS was -2.4. HUGE difference. I am only at osteopenia level now.

Ah, how else to get through your cycle with raging cramps than with hormonal birth control pills that completely made them go away?. I could not have gone from age 17 until age 52, having those kind of knockdown-dragout cramps without Ortho-Novum 1/50s. For some women hormonal OCPs are a game changer. In my next life I will be a guy, that's for sure....

HRT-estradiol patch and progesterone IUD. Resistance training and nutrition as well, but I think HRT has made the biggest difference.

We should be considered on a different scale for sure. Smaller bones and less weight, I think, should be looked at differently.
