The Dr. Doug Show (Douglas Lucas)

In this conversation, Douglas Lucas discusses the newly discovered hormone CCN3 and its potential role in reversing osteoporosis. He explains the mechanism of CCN3, its effects on bone health, and the current state of research, emphasizing the need for human trials to confirm its efficacy. Lucas also highlights the importance of proactive measures for bone health and cautions against relying solely on new treatments.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas reviews a study that was released on the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for bone health. The study is a 20-year follow-up of the Women's Health Initiative, which enrolled over 161,000 postmenopausal women. The study had two hormone trials: a combined therapy of estrogen and synthetic progesterone, and an estrogen-only therapy for women who had a hysterectomy. The combined therapy showed increased risks of blood clots, stroke, and invasive breast cancer, but also a reduction in hip fractures. The estrogen-only therapy showed a reduction in coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and breast cancer incidence. However, the reduction in hip fractures did not persist over the long term. The study also found no significant difference in risk based on age. The findings suggest that estrogen therapy can be beneficial for bone health, but should be part of a comprehensive approach and individualized based on risk factors.

Dr. Doug delves into the role of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) as a supplement, particularly its implications for cancer risk and bone health. He discusses the dual nature of DHEA, highlighting both its potential benefits and risks, especially in relation to cancers. Through various studies, he examines the association between DHEA levels and cancer, emphasizing the importance of understanding that correlation does not imply causation. Dr. Doug also addresses the complexities of using DHEA in patients with a history of cancer, advocating for a personalized approach to supplementation based on individual health profiles.

In this episode Dr. Doug Lucas discusses protein, an important asset to bone health. Adequate protein intake is necessary for optimal muscle, metabolic, and brain function. Animal protein has been shown to have a positive impact on bone mineral density, while plant protein has been associated with lower bone mineral density. Consuming a combination of animal and plant protein is recommended for those with osteoporosis. The recommended protein intake for bone health is around 1 gram per pound or 2.2 grams per kilogram. The RDA for protein is often set as a bare minimum for survival, not optimization. Protein supplements can be beneficial for those who struggle to consume adequate protein. The alkaline diet principle, which suggests that animal protein causes an acid load and harms bone health, is flawed. High protein, calcium-deficient diets do not seem to negatively impact bone health in humans.

In this video Dr. Doug Lucas discusses grip strength, a predictor of overall health that is linked to various health outcomes. Poor grip strength is associated with higher risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, hypertension, physical disability, and impaired mobility. Grip strength is also a marker of brain health and is associated with the integrity of neural systems controlling movement. Osteoporosis patients with weak grip strength have lower quality of life scores and are more likely to experience impaired mobility. While grip strength exercises alone may not significantly impact longevity and mortality, exercises that build muscle mass and improve metabolic health can increase functional grip strength.

The science behind cold plunges is emerging as a fascinating avenue with potential benefits for both body and mind. Dr. Doug Lucas dives into the icy depths of this wellness phenomenon and explore the scientific foundations supporting its role in promoting a longer, healthier life.

In this conversation, Douglas Lucas discusses blood flow restriction (BFR) bands, also known as Katsu bands, a tool that can provide the benefits of resistance training without the need for heavy weights. BFR bands work by restricting blood flow to the muscles, which stimulates a response similar to that of lifting heavy weights. This can be beneficial for individuals with osteoporosis who may have difficulty lifting heavy objects. BFR bands can be used by a wide range of individuals, from athletes looking for an edge to those recovering from injury or with low muscle mass. However, it is important to use BFR bands safely and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions or concerns.
