Raw Milk in A Capsule for Osteoporosis?
In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses Lactoferrin, a naturally occurring protein found in the milk of mammals, including humans. It has various health benefits, including antibacterial and antiviral properties, regulation of iron absorption and metabolism, anti-inflammatory effects, and improvement of immune function and gut health. Lactoferrin has been shown to be particularly effective in promoting bone health by stimulating bone formation and suppressing bone resorption. Human studies have demonstrated positive effects on inflammation and bone turnover markers!

How to Reverse Osteoporosis in 6 Months!
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!

The Worst Exercise For Your Bones!
In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas discusses a specific exercise that is not suitable for individuals with osteoporosis as it does not significantly benefit bone health. Multiple studies have shown that individuals who regularly partake in this exercise have lower bone mineral density compared to high impact athletes and non-athletic controls. However, this exercise is not considered a negative for bone health either. Tune in, as Dr. Doug reviews multiple studies on this topic!
