In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas reviews whether collagen can actually support bone health, looking at the limited human research, why Fortibone has the strongest data, and why results may depend on a person’s starting bone turnover markers. He also explains why collagen sourcing and third-party testing matter, since contaminants can accumulate in collagen products.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29337906/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32131366/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37755240/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19892499/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30783776/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37883634/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25314004/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980546/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33562729/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11842160/🦴 Stronger Bones.

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.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas breaks down the latest thinking on calcium supplements for bone health, including the fear around calcium and heart attack risk. He explains why most people don’t need 1,200 mg of calcium from supplements alone and why food intake should come first. He also compares calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, algae-based calcium, and bone-based calcium through the lens of absorption, safety, and fracture risk reduction.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20671013/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31747785/

This video from Douglas Lucas breaks down how osteoporosis medications should be used strategically, not just prescribed in isolation. He explains that drug sequencing matters, with evidence showing the best results come from starting with anabolic (bone-building) drugs before transitioning to other therapies. He also highlights how bone turnover markers (P1NP and CTX) can guide treatment decisions and track whether you’re building or losing bone.Previous video discussing Bone Turnover Markers: https://youtu.be/1yc46jLwkD0🦴 Stronger Bones.
