This Hormone Isn't Protecting Your Bones

In this video, Douglas Lucas discusses the importance of estrogen in maintaining bone health, particularly in postmenopausal women. He critiques the use of BiEst, a hormone replacement therapy that combines estriol and estradiol, arguing that it is ineffective for bone density. Lucas presents evidence from a study comparing the effects of estradiol and estriol on bone mineral density, highlighting the superior efficacy of estradiol. He emphasizes the need for evidence-based practices in hormone therapy and warns against the misconceptions surrounding the safety and effectiveness of different estrogen forms.Study Links: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17524997/
