How to Reverse Osteoporosis in 6 Months!
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 05. 2024
- In this video Dr. Doug Lucas discusses how osteoporosis can be reversed through a comprehensive program that addresses underlying factors such as bone metabolism, hormone health, gut health, stress, and lifestyle. The case study follows the journey of a 63-year-old man named Bob who was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. By implementing lifestyle changes, optimizing nutrition, and using targeted supplements, Bob was able to improve his bone health and reverse osteoporosis. Over the course of 12 months, his bone health score increased, his bone turnover markers improved, and his fracture risk was significantly reduced. This case demonstrates that osteoporosis can be reversed naturally in most people with the right approach!

This channel is focused on Bones, Hormones, and Healthspan to help midlife women and beyond aim for optimal, not average, and reignite their spark!
The videos on this channel will be focused around helping women navigate healthspan and longevity through the lens of osteoporosis, perimenopause, and menopause. When it comes to osteoporosis and menopause providers and educators often get tunnel vision and your symptoms might get better, but if you don't keep longevity in mind, symptom improvement may come at the expense of heart and brain health.

I'm a registered nurse and was also what you would call a chronic patient because I had many different medical problems as a younger person and almost every doctor I went to who diagnosed me with anything told me that it was crying chronic it would never go away. I truly believe it's an agenda to make people afraid and to put in their minds that there's nothing that can be done for their health except to take drugs and have surgery. It's really reprehensible and I can't tell you how depressing it became to hear that over and over from doctors that I not only worked with but took advantage of their care
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Received my new DEXA scan scores and my osteoporosis has already started to reverse itself just by watching your videos and doing what you say to do. Thinking about joining your program!
I joined their program and the team is awesome BUT the program ( testing kit, supplements, etc,... ) cost a lot of money.
@@sissi1520how expensive?
Pretty sure it's $12,799

@@lindaforadori9232 $12,000??? Say what???
After having a bone scan two years, I was told by a PA that I had osteoporosis. She went by what the result showed for my left forearm T -3... (I had a spinal fusion years ago). I took her advice and got the Prolia shot and only took one. This was the worst advice of my life. No side effects were given and I have been miserable ever since. I pulled my scan and went to my doctor (not the PA).My other Tscores were less than -.05!!!! Now I'm trying hard to come back from daily pain all over that has stopped me from doing exercise. I have been told I need another spinal fusion and complete knee surgery. I'm starting HRT at 68 and having had my hysterectomy 23 years ago I hope it helps (no other medical issues at all). Doing my second scan (2 years later) next month. Thank you for all your thoughts. NO BONE MEDS FOR ME!
HRT gave me breast cancer. Be careful!
I hope you do well best wishes!

I have totally reversed my osteoporosis in the last year. I quit taking Fosamax, which I had been on for about four or five years. I have always lifted weights, but I made sure to start lifting heavier and more consistently. I also carefully choose my supplements, including one recommended by Dr. Doug, and started taking collagen with Fortibone. I am 68 years old.
Amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
What kind of collagen and how much? Ty
This is incredible and gives me so much hope. I have a scan of -5.7 but not sure how accurate it is as I can't lay flat due to past back fractures. I believe mine was caused by my previous thyroid cancer that was undetected for years. I have since seen a bone metabolic doctor - nothing was showing up in it or my urine collection. I have declined meds for now and got put on estradiol because that was also very low (post menopause). I am on something similar to AlgaeCal, fortibone collagen, K2/D3 and the rest from food. I am in PT doing strength training and weight bearing exercises. I am working hard to get my life back. You are a big part of that. I enjoy your videos and content. Thank you.
Plz keep it up and good luck 👍🏽
All the best ...if you can get a REMS scan that might give you some information not affected by the surgery ...
@@asr9217 thank you,

Thank you so much for sharing all of this. I am so glad to hear that these videos have been helpful for you. I greatly appreciate your support!
I am more than impressed by the comprehensive nature of this program.
Thank you for watching!
Two of my 3 TScores improved by .3. My regimen has been adding prunes to my diet and weight bearing exercises.
How many pruned each day? Thanks so much!
@@kidges3132 the study i read suggested 5-10. I consume 4-5😊

@@suethompson3970 also what do you do for weight bearing exercises? I’ve started walking 10,000 steps most days. I’m worried because my osteoporosis was worse on my last scan. Thanks for replying.
@@kidges3132 I go to a fitness center. The personnel there can help you
Thank much so much for having a comprehensive video about "Bob". I saw a video last year where he was mentioned in some detail, but I appreciate getting the whole picture.
Yes! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this information. Do you have video examples of post menopause women who reversed osteoporosis?
The ones that we currently know of are in IL, NC, NJ, FL and TX.
I am a postmenopausal woman in FL, lumbar T score -3.8, Femoral neck -1.6, total hip -1.9. I would love video examples for post menopausal women. I’m very active
@@Dr_DougLucas thanks but I meant do you have video examples?
I tried to put my results up here but it won’t accept a photo. I had a bone densitometry scan done in Jan ‘23 but didn’t get the results until Aug ‘23 so not knowing my results, I didn’t do anything except take VitD on its own. I then found out my LSpine Tscore was -3.7 which is severe OP. I did some of the things you suggested and on my repeat scan in Mar’24 my LSpine had improved to -3.1 which was a 10.4% improvement. My hip improved by 13.3% and my forearm by 3.7%. Both scans were done at the same radiological practice on the same machine. My endocrinologist was pretty happy. He will repeat in another 12 months to see if more progress has been made.
That’s amazing! I’m freaking out because my t-score in my spine went from -3.3 to -3.7 last year even though I ramped up calcium in my diet and supplemented with vitamin D. Tried to strength train but probably didn’t do enough. What specifically do you think made the biggest difference for you?
Hi from Australia Shannon. I added K2 and magnesium to my VitD as VitD on its own can’t get to where it needs to be. I take about 3-4000 a day. I added prunes to my diet. I bought a weighted vest (5kgs) and started walking. On the days I don’t walk I wear the vest around my house doing housework 😏. My daughter dragged me to a gym where I do some resistance training - just light weights and very mindful of good positioning of my spine. I bought a vibration plate and instead of the recommended 10mins a day I stand on it (watching tv) for 2x20 min sessions a day. They are safe for up to 4 hours a day. My doctor told me not to take calcium tablets but to get the calcium from food. I climb stairs now instead of escalators. Basically I try to move more (says me lying in bed typing this out 😎). Don’t freak out. That just causes stress which is bad for your body. Chin up, pick out your choices and be determined to work at them. And put on some music and dance. It’s great for your bones…….and your soul.

Bob's numbers were not that bad. I am glad he was able to improve. I would like to know what improvement can be made with someone in their 70's with a -4.7.
I will never believe that there is no remedy for an illness only that we don’t know the remedy. If I believed there was no remedy for dementia when my Mum was diagnosed 13 years ago she probably would not be still with us because I reversed it with the help of a doctor and naturopath as well as with some of my own ideas. Now my girlfriend has osteoporosis and we have found many things that need to be rectified in her that will help especially her very low vitamin D.

I just found your channel and I love it! Would a change in ALP in one year from 47 U/L to 58 U/L indicate bone loss? I am 50 but not fully menopausal, with a good estrogen level (417 pmol/L). I weight train and recently started squats and noticed an increase in my ALP, which I didn't like since I'm trying to optimize everything.

I think at about 62 as a woman I had my first DEXA scan and was osteopenia in one place and osteoporosis in another. I improve my diet and started walking a couple of miles a day and my next DEXA scan two years later one measurement had increased by 7% and another by 9%, I’m now 72 and the last couple of years my DEXA scans have started to backslide so I need to put my foot back on the pedal as the doctor says. Not that I have stopped any of those other fact, but I need to add more exercise and maybe look at the , metabolic panels closely

I fractured my back at L1. It was diagnosed with a CT and an MRI. It also showed I have Osteopenia. Is it true, that because you have a fracture, your diagnoses immediately changes to Osteoporosis? Also, after 1 1/2 years, I am still in severe pain, can't bend, stand too long, or walk, without the aid of a walker. Is this normal? I feel my doctor isn't taking this seriously.

Hi Doctor Doug. In January 17 th 2024 I went for a Rems test in the UK and the score on Right hip was ,the T- scores was ,_2.4 Z-Score -0.8 and now in May 6 th 2024 the T-score is - 2.3. and Z- Score-0.6 with the Left hip the same. The spine T- scores -1.7 Z- Score 0.2 in January and May 1 -7 Z_ score 0.3. That's in 4 months. But my Fragility score has gone up, January it was 32.1 in May it's 34. So hopefully more impact exercises will do the job I've been working at the gym with a personal trainer,dead lifts, overhead lifts,jumping etc. I will go for another Rems test next year in January 2025.
Can you share where you had a REMS scan in the UK please? I’m happy to travel but can’t find any local to me

Why didnt you take a woman? Ive just got the message that I have osteoporose in my hips and ostopenia I think in my back. Im from norway so its not everything you say I understand. I have been given Alendronat wicht Im suppose to take once a week. But I dont want to take this medisin. I think they are dangerous to take and I dont want to take them. Please tell me that I am right to not take this kind of medisin dr. Doug?? Have a great day.
Hi! Checkout part 2:20 on this video. I explain why here :)
Hmmm….i jumped to “How to improve…” and a bit disheartened to be hearing about “him”, when >2/3 of osteoporosis dd are for women and is hormone-related. Interesting.
Hi! Checkout part 2:20 on this video. I explain why here :)
If a man gets osteo, at age 70 +, breaks a hip, not a good outcome. So please, do focus on men.
Why are you talking about a man when most with osteoporosis are women???
Why not? Nearly all the research on bone health issues are on women. Quite frankly it’s nice to see some diversity. 10% of men will suffer a fragility fracture, that’s a massive amount of people in the world. Your comment is full of prejudice for no reason. The person creating the video is a man for gods sake.
He addressed this in the beginning of the video
2:16 is when he addresses this
Hi! Checkout part 2:20 on this video. I explain why here :)
If a man gets osteo at 70 and breaks a hip , his life expectancy can plummet; Significantly in men much more so then women. About 30 % of hip fractures due to osteo are men . And life can become hell. Bones and artificial hips don't heal well in a 70 yo man.
Poor choice to use a man as the example.
Hi! I explain why I did this at part 2:20 of the video :)
Great choice. If a man gets osteo at 70, the life expectancy is horrible, hard to heal bone fractures at 70.
