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.

Thank you again! I shared with you that I reversed my osteoporosis. I am doing osteoporosis strong and weight bearing. I was 68 when I found out now 70. Some days I just need encouragement. I watch your videos to get what I need. Thank you for doing what you do for all of us. Great information which helps and encourages.💕 l refuse to give up.

[marlenesilcocks]

I am 79 …went from osteopenia 9 yrs ago to -2.7. I have in the last 3 yrs increased my supplements of d3 k2 b12 and my diet improved. No other medications.
I am working on weight bearing PT and balance. I had kemo 2014. My goal now is to reverse my osteoporosis. I am a strong woman wanting to do this.

[Grannylife]

35 years ago my doctor recommended I take Fosomax...I asked her if she would and she said NO! So here I am at 83 and have taken nothing although my bone loss indicates I have osteoporosis. I have never broken a bone. I began extensive weight-bearing exercises 5 years ago and believe I am healthy. I will never take the horrific drugs. Once you begin you have to continue for the rest of your life.

[AskPiaAkashic]

Good news. My NP told me it is not reversible. I absolutely believe I will reverse it. I hit the gym for strength/weight training and we do have a Power Plate which I use. And I gave up alcohol a year ago!

[Lanclasscan]

Excellent ! 72yo, had my DX and REMs, no drugs for me until I have increased protein, weight stress and researched everything I can. Your channel is encouraging. Signed up Master class. Authentic and concise Dr Doug Lucas. Thank you. Canada.

1.Before you are able to turn your condition around, move to only slip-resistant comfortable shoes. Don't wear socks when going up and down stairs. Avoid things that contribute to risks of falling, like chairs on wheels.

[jackieboyette]

[celiabarrett]

Im 72 and very healthy. But just diagnosed. DO NOT want drugs !!
Just joined a gym. Will reverse this!!!

Plz don't wait until menopause to be screened for osteoporosis. If you have a family history or any contributing factors get screened early. I was told not to worry about it until menopause and had my first DEXA at 53. I had full blown osteoporosis. Drs don't recommend early detection because insurance companies won't cover the cost. I would have gladly paid the $200 or $300 dollars to have the scan early if I was told it could save my life. Thank you for helping to educate women and encouraging them to be proactive in their healthcare decisions.

I am 63 years old was diagnosed with osteoporosis three years ago started Osteo strong three months ago and started alfecal supplements and now I have finally reversed my osteoporosis

[VickiHernandez-qmmw]

Thank you for talking about breast cancer and osteoporosis. I’m currently on a biphosphonate because of being on an estrogen suppressant. I’m not happy about it, but I know it’s the right course of treatment. I’m looking forward to the day when I can stop. In the meantime, I’m doing everything I can to help my bones through diet, supplements, and exercise.

[cathydelange]

I have fractured my 4th and 5th vertabrae in my back and wpuld like to add excercise to my program but am afraid I will cause more harm to my back. I am in constant pain and get nauseas from any pain medication . I cannot walk.upright unless I have taken a very strong pain tablet. I do feel as if my life has ended and also am dependent on state hospitals for help which is not very helpful. It is hard to stay positive in these circumstances but I am.grateful for people like you who try and help and give sound advice. Thanhk you dr lLucas!

[brendapayne]

Thank you for your time and information. This is so helpful and calming. I was notified by phone and offered a drug. I totally was freaked out and scared. Thank you for the encouraging words and work you are doing. I am 61 and am prioritizing my lifestyle.

[angiedailey]

Thank you! I am 44 and have T scores in the -3 range. I had to have my ovaries removed and went into surgically induced menopause at 31. I found out around 36 that I have a genetic clotting disorder when I had a PE and had to come off of my HRT. They’ve tried to tell me I have to start prolia and take it until I die. I’ve completely changed my life and go for my next DEXA scan in May. Hopefully those numbers will be better.

[teacup]

Thank you. I've neglected to deal with this issue because I want it to go away. Thank you for emphasizing the need to be proactive .

[stellaoliver]

Didn't know I had osteoporosis until after I fell anx broke my hip at 65 years. Then found I had 5 spinal fractures. I've adapted my lifestyle as much as I can. I would encourage anybody to follow your advice. Thank you for all your help.

[CjbrkBrooks]

I went FROM osteoporosis to CURED. I’m 76, and my doc is astounded. I increased my D3/K intake during the lockdowns. I’ve always taken good supplements, but increased the D and K, use Metagenics Bone Builder Prime, which has MCHC in it….proven to rebuild bone, and which also has uptake agents in it. Normal now.

Hello! I am a very healthy 74 year old youthful woman. Small boned, blue eyes and natural blonde hair. Take no medications. Eat healthy and I have a wonderful active life. I had 7 fractures last year and ended in a rehab center for PT for 39 days. What a shock! On my own I had a bone scan. Low and behold I have severe stage 4 osteoporosis. Saw my doctor and he prescribed Fomax. I said no. I'm trying to do the natural approach. Basically, I wanted folks to know that this can creep up even if you are in perfect health. I asked my Dr. how we missed this. He said they do not recommend bone scans until you reach 70. Said we probably should have done one then. I am devastated, but working hard to reverse as much as I can. One thing I do everyday, is strap on 2 lb ankle weights and put them on my wrists as well and wear all day. Don't know if it helps, but what the heck? I love this channel and benefit greatly from your expertise and advice! Carolyn

I am a 76 year old woman.
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in April 2023, while have scans for an upcoming surgery. They found a compression fracture at L4. I had a DEXA done that showed Lumbar Spine (L1-L4): Bone mineral density is 0.980 g/cm2 which corresponds to a young adult T-score of -1.7 which lies in the osteopenia range.
Both hips had a T score of -3.3 with a Major osteoporotic fracture 34.1%, hip fracture 15.3%.
Because of the upcoming surgery the osteoporosis was temporarily put on the back burner. I had been taking prescription anti acids since 2015, not knowing about the bone these drugs can cause. My surgery was to repair a hiatal hernia. Since the surgery, I no longer take any anti acids.
Due to esophagus damage my PC doctor does not feel I should take any oral osteoporosis medication and suggest possible infusions. I saw him in December of 2023 and nothing has been decided. Would further testing be of value in deciding what I should do? I have taken calcium and vitamin D3 for many years and have added vitamin K. Where do I go from here?
In the last few years I have fallen several times and haven’t broken any bones. I have done some PT to try to reduce fall risk.
At this point I’m really confused.

[carolyontz]

Ok 67 years old, had my first DEXA scan couple weeks ago. My Dr is out of office on medical leave til June, I'm scheduled then. Another Dr from office had his nurse call me and told me I have osteoporosis and need medication and he would send to my pharmacy. First of all I was shocked and no nothing about osteoporosis. I'm waiting till I see my Dr in June. I've watched your videos on this and I thank you. Frustrated and feel like that was so unprofessional, a phone call from nurse.
