Can you safely have sex with osteoporosis? In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas explores what the research says about osteoporosis, intimacy and fracture risk. Learn how spine positioning, body mechanics and communication can help you feel more confident navigating intimacy after an osteoporosis diagnosis. We also look beyond physical safety to the role fear, trust and feeling safe in your body can play in sexual health and quality of life.

Dr. Doug sits down with neurologist and bestselling author, Dr. David Perlmutter, to explore the surprising overlap between brain health and bone health. They discuss how nutrition, metabolic health, exercise, sleep, inflammation, and muscle all influence long-term cognitive and skeletal health. Dr. Perlmutter also shares why protecting your brain starts long before cognitive decline appears, and why lifestyle may be one of the most powerful tools we have.

GLP-1 medications can support significant weight loss, but some of that loss may come from lean mass, including muscle and bone. In this episode, Dr. Doug breaks down the current research on semaglutide, tirzepatide, bone turnover, and bone density. He also explains why baseline screening, adequate protein, resistance training, and ongoing body composition monitoring matter when balancing weight-loss and bone-health goals.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explains what it means when a DEXA scan shows osteoporosis at the wrist, but not at the hip or spine. He breaks down when the one-third radius should be measured and why an isolated wrist T-score may require more investigation. You’ll also learn how bone density at different scan sites relates to fracture risk and what information to consider before making treatment decisions.

In this video, Dr. Doug explains how estrogen dose, estradiol levels, and bone turnover markers can help show whether HRT is truly supporting bone health. He breaks down why DEXA and REMS can take 12 to 24 months to reflect change, while markers like CTX and P1NP can offer earlier insight. The key takeaway: bone health care should be individualized, tested, and optimized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all hormone dose.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down the latest thinking on calcium supplements for bone health, including the fear around calcium and heart attack risk. He explains why most people don’t need 1,200 mg of calcium from supplements alone and why food intake should come first. He also compares calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, algae-based calcium, and bone-based calcium through the lens of absorption, safety, and fracture risk reduction.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20671013/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31747785/ Shop & Save 10% on NBI Products: https://shop.nbihealth.com/pages/dr-doug-bone-health?bg_ref=YMKzZt4KwC This is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a commission if you purchase through it, at no additional cost to you.2024 Calcium Video:https://youtu.be/3fcbh2TVS5Y🦴 Stronger Bones.

This video from Douglas Lucas breaks down how osteoporosis medications should be used strategically, not just prescribed in isolation. He explains that drug sequencing matters, with evidence showing the best results come from starting with anabolic (bone-building) drugs before transitioning to other therapies. He also highlights how bone turnover markers (P1NP and CTX) can guide treatment decisions and track whether you’re building or losing bone.

New research on Bondia (SBD111) highlights the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, and bone loss. In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down how this medical food uses prebiotics, probiotics, and vitamin D to support the gut–immune–bone axis. He explains who may benefit most, including women with osteopenia, higher body fat, or chronic inflammation. You’ll also learn how improving gut function may help reduce bone breakdown and support stronger bones over time. If you’re focused on preventing osteoporosis or optimizing bone health, this is a must-watch.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas revisits bisphosphonate drugs, explaining that while they can effectively increase bone density and reduce fracture risk short term, they are not ideal as a long-term solution. He emphasizes that these medications can still play a role when combined with lifestyle, nutrition, and hormone optimization rather than used alone. The key takeaway is a “both-and” approach, using medications alongside natural strategies to support bone health. He also highlights the post-drug “holiday” as an important window to maintain or even improve bone density with the right interventions.
