In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down a brand-new 2026 study on weighted vests vs. whole body vibration for bone density, osteoporosis, and osteopenia. He explains why the headline claim that weighted vests improve bone density is misleading, what the data really shows about fall risk and functional outcomes, and how Power Plate and whole body vibration actually support bone health.

In this video, Dr. Doug explains how estrogen dose, estradiol levels, and bone turnover markers can help show whether HRT is truly supporting bone health. He breaks down why DEXA and REMS can take 12 to 24 months to reflect change, while markers like CTX and P1NP can offer earlier insight. The key takeaway: bone health care should be individualized, tested, and optimized rather than based on a one-size-fits-all hormone dose.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10472854/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10550454/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10831925/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34645447/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12792297/https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05903820🦴 Stronger Bones.
