The Dr. Doug Show

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses three foods that can improve bone health, dairy, prunes, and animal protein. Dairy has been misunderstood, but research shows that it can increase bone mineral density and reduce bone turnover markers. Prunes have numerous studies supporting their benefits, including preserving cortical bone structure and reducing bone loss. Animal protein, particularly from meat, is associated with higher bone mineral density and reduced fracture risk. These food choices may not be suitable for everyone, but they can be powerful tools for improving bone health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34792092/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34494238/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34670754/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31603185/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38349471/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35057457/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28505102/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38554239/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36346154/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36986162/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35948956/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33222682/

In this Video, Dr. Doug Lucas addresses the controversy surrounding the bone health benefits of melatonin. He discusses the positive and negative research findings, the impact of melatonin on sleep and broader health, and the association between melatonin prescriptions and fracture risk. Dr. Lucas also emphasizes the importance of understanding study design and statistical significance when interpreting research results. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33417003/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28587149/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27496941/

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the long-term implications and risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women. He highlights the challenges of conducting longevity research and emphasizes the importance of understanding the risks and benefits of HRT. Overall, the conversation aims to empower women to have informed discussions with their healthcare providers about HRT. Study Links:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38595196/

In this video Dr. Doug Lucas explores the relationship between coffee, tea, and caffeine consumption and their impact on bone health. He reviews various studies and evidence to determine if these beverages have a negative or positive effect on bone mineral density and fracture risk.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses the topic of finding the best exercise for osteoporosis and reviews a misleading article on jumping as a tool for improved bone mineral density. He emphasizes the importance of nuance and individualization in exercise recommendations. Tune in as Dr. Doug explores the details of a meta-analysis study on jumping and its limitations, particularly in relation to premenopausal women.

In this conversation, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses Boron, a supplement that has potential benefits for bone health. He reviews multiple studies that have shown that boron supplementation can increase levels of sex hormones, reduce inflammation, improve wound healing, and boost magnesium absorption. However, it is important to take boron in the right dosage, as excessive intake can lead to toxicity! https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27129314/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21129941/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21129941/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3678698/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32540741/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32540741/

In this episode Dr. Doug Lucas discusses creatine, or creatine monohydrate, it is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise. While commonly associated with weightlifting and muscle building, creatine has benefits for women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal. He explores multiple studies that show creatine's effect on bone strength and muscle mass. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35984306/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37144634/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25993883/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25386713/

This conversation explores the effectiveness of supplements in improving bone health and hormone balance. Dr. Doug Lucas emphasizes the importance of relying on evidence-based tools and products. The discussion focuses on the potential benefits of phytoestrogens, specifically genistein, in promoting bone health. He reviews research studies that demonstrate the positive effects of genistein supplements on bone mineral density. He also highlights the potential risks and interactions associated with these supplements, particularly for individuals with estrogen-related complications.
