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.
Subscribe and follow along as Dr. Doug Lucas explores the research and clinical applications surrounding women's health.

GREAT information. As always, Dr.Doug providing us with info we don't hear anywhere else...it's very helpful when deciding what to take, and why. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I love your videos and im learning a huge amount. Yiur deleivery is excellent. Pleased you lost the music so i can focus on what youre saying.
I am -4.4 on my dexa scan. Oh dear. 65 years old. Worked too hard for too long on the computer. I will be immediately implimenting your exercise programme. My consultant, im based in the UK, has had me on zoledronate infusion for the last 3 years and very little has changed in that time based on my recent dexa scan results. She is suggesting that i have 2 more infusions. My question is whats yiur view about this form of treatment? Risks and benefits. Thanks
Hi Heather,
Thanks for your feedback. The background music is very soft on our end. I hear this occasionally and I've been told it's a setting on the user end. See if your speaker settings can be adjusted.
As far as Zoledronic Acid (Reclast) there is a time and place but I don't like it for most. I'd have to know more about your case specifically but as far as my patients go they would have to be rapidly losing bone without any ability to stop it otherwise. That would occur in patients receiving specific treatments for breast cancer and other conditions. For someone with a very low T-score and high risk for fracture I would prefer something anabolic in nature. Forteo, Tymlos or Evenity if anything at all. Again, lots of variables.
Dr Johnathan Christopher got phenomenal results rebuilding teeth using eggshells. Dr Ken Berry says 1/2 tsp of egg powder = 500 mg which is what he recommends for daily use. I take at least that much but balance it out with magnesium from Trace Minerals.
Thank you for the video.
Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for that info. I’ve heard an interview with Dr Robert Lustig where he talks about milk as a calcium source and says the problem with milk is that is really high in phosphorous which binds the calcium. I’ve tried following this information through and there are studies regarding calcium vs phosphorous which I’m confused about. I’ve been relying on dairy for calcium but it doesn’t have a good calcium/phosphorous ratio. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Lustig is not a fan of dairy. I like his work but disagree here. Calcium in dairy is in the form of calcium phosphate which is as well absorbed as most supplemental forms. Your bones need phosphate too. Do they "compete" probably but when delivered naturally for babies grow bone naturally I tend to believe that nature got that one right.
There's a better way to get the Ca from eggshells: Crush them into your compost and grow tomatoes. It seems to make the skin of the tomatoes stronger, and the tomatoes grown in such compost taste great. I suspect that some of the calcium finds its way to the fruit.
Good idea!
I have questions regarding my BP meds and their effect on BMD. On Dr. Google I have found articles (including some from NIH) indicating the Lisinopril is associated with bone loss and that Losartan may actually increase bone density (perhaps a slight effect similar to a bisphosphonate.). HCTZ seems to benefit BMD though I'm not sure of the mechanism. Bone experts don't talk about this topic but I would like more info especially since I have a very strong genetic predisposition to HTN. Any insights are appreciated. Thank you.
Great questions but complex to answer. When we put together a program we put all of this into play. The ACEs and ARBs effect kidney function so there may be an impact but I don't believe the effect is significant or consistent in literature. HCTZ on the other hand is one of my least favorite HTN drugs because of it's impact on electrolytes but it does cause calcium reabsorption and as such would reduce PTH and breakdown of bone for calcium needs. However, in a well designed diet there should be no need for that process to occur so does it raise BMD in those that have a poor diet or in everyone? Does the reduction in sodium, chloride and potassium negatively impact bone strength due to decreased function elsewhere? Hard to say. I prefer ACE and ARB for HTN and treat the problem the way it should be treated. I focus on bone health in a separate equation.
What are the food sources for the suggested form of calcium at the end of the video? Or is it only supplemented?
THis video is specific to supplementation, yes. Best food sources in my opinion is dairy but that depends on if you can tolerate dairy.
@@Dr_DougLucas Thank you Dr !
I have put some egg shells in the mix when making bone broth. Bones and egg shells in the crock pot for 24+ hours, then strained through a fine mesh.
That's great! Thank you for sharing.
I have done that too. I wish I knew if it was increasing the calcium in the broth. Have you seen any studies?
@@Wyomi I haven't seen any studies on this topic.
There are several good studies on the positive effect of consuming crushed eggshells, along with Vitamin D3 & magnesium, to reverse osteoporosis. The powdered eggshell was taken twice a day, around 3mg each dose. Eggshells have also been trialed alongside pure calcium carbonate and the eggshells (around 94% calcium carbonate) were more effective in improving bone density.
Can you link to these studies? They didn't come up in my search. I'd enjoy reviewing them and updating the video if necessary. I love eggs and would love to recommend them for calcium supplementation if needed!
@@Dr_DougLucas no I can't link to them as YTube blocks comments with links. You could search for the eggshell trials done in Denmark and Vietnam to get started then follow the references given on those for more. Government health sites also refer to the benefits of eggshells, based on the studies done.
@@wandayonder9772 I appreciate the comments. With challenges in dosing and production I still wouldn't recommend them. Too many variables when better alternatives exist with less risk.
@@Dr_DougLucas fair enough. I'll go with the National Library of Medicine which says "Chicken eggshell has high calcium content (380 mg of calcium/gram) and bioavailability comparable to calcium carbonate (~39%)" with 1gm supplying half the daily calcium required. They say boiling the eggshells for 10mins is sufficient to remove bacteria. I eat 1/4 teaspoon (1.25gm) with magnesium and D3. I suppose you can't recommend something which people may not prepare correctly, even though it is better than the bought calcium carbonate.
@@wandayonder9772 I applaud your research and dedication to preparation. We don't recommend calcium carbonate to anyone so even a natural form would not make our list.
How many eggs per day do you feel might be a good amount?
Good questions.
Depends on your dietary needs and saturated fat tolerance! We recommend anywhere between 1 and 4 to our patients.
Isn't it better to consume eggshells rather than being on prescription bisphosphonates?
They don’t do the same thing. Osteoporosis is not generally a calcium deficiency and therefore consuming calcium carbonate from any source doesn’t solve the problem. Bisphosphonates on the other hand are a poison to the cells that break down bone. They do slow bone loss but with risks.
I tried grinding egg shells at home and didn't think they ground up finely enough to be absorbed in the body.. Then I tried adding vinegar to the ground up egg shells, thinking they and the minerals would dissolve in the vinegar. When I first added the vinegar, it really foamed up -it was quite the reaction. I use the vinegar as part of my salad dressing. Do you think I'm getting any more minerals this way?
I’m not enough of a chemist to know what you are doing there! I would focus on getting calcium elsewhere in the diet and supplement if needed.
I tried eating egg shell powder few years ago it was not good and it's too much of a process but I do eat eggs for protein and vitamin K2 I don't know how much K2 there is an eggs though for other foods, do you have videos on top foods that have vitamin K2 for bone health?
K2 video pending! It's tough to get enough through diet though. Supplementation is usually advised for our patients.
@@Dr_DougLucas I heard that in order to get enough vitamin K2 from diet I would have to eat a whole block of Gouda cheese , an entire carton of eggs,
A whole container of heavy cream that's what my friend told me YIKES I'm never going to eat that much of those foods!!
@@MariaBrinks25 haha, that may be true but depends on your goals. We supplement K2 in everyone.
Does it absorb in your 70s thanks
Depends on gut function more than age!
How can I contact you about a consultation?
His info is in the description!
Hi Beth,
Take a look at the description for contact information and information on the master class too.
Thanks!
Don't forget to use the egg shell membrane of your eggs! Peel it off and place on egg then scramble or fry. Great nutrients for your joints.
Hi Ann,
I've heard of this trick but can't find any evidence to support it. Are you aware of any?
Can I just eat a boiled egg whole (not for osteoporosis)
That would be a lot of calcium!
Dr. Lucas dear. Osteopina. Osteoperosis....not really bad yet EXISTS😀. I AM one of those " lucky" ones, who must be cautious so I DO NOT have too high levels if calcium,:.re: Parathyroid etc. Yet...eggs are such an amazing source of protein, especially for my low carbs diet. Shnifff shniff. So what now?
Hello,
Eggs don't have significant calcium unless one eats the shells. Maybe I don't understand your question.
@@Dr_DougLucas thank you for taking the time to respond. Yes you DID understand my question.🤣
DR. KEN BERRY SAYS YOU CAN EAT THE SHELLS FOR CALCIUM?????
You can but is it best?
I am having a nagging curiosity ( and a bit off topic ) about using shaved cadaver bones to pack around fractured spinal bone for patients who are suffering with extremely severe bone loss and who are already fracturing on a regular basis like I am beginning to at only age 63 ? I dated a guy years ago who was assaulted and his cervical spine was injured and he was treated at UCSD with shaved bone from cadavers packed around his cervical spine to promote bone repair in his spine and it seemed to be quite effective in his case he also had RA and he was only in his 40s then .
The reason I'm asking is it seems that it could be beneficial for helping replace bone or repair it better thsn using cement like they use for a kyphoplasty shich is being recommended for me and awaiting approval for with my insurance .
Hello,
What your describing is "allograft" bone grafting. It is used in spinal fusion and elsewhere for added bone mass for healing. There are several challenges with this approach for a compression fracture from osteoporosis.
1. Putting it in there requires a large surgical approach which has much more risk and morbidity.
2. It still has to heal and be incorporated into the native bone. That requires the same bone metabolism that failed people with osteoporosis in the first place.
I don't know that it's ever been studied but my guess is that it wouldn't heal and would lead to a much worse problem.
Good thinking outside the box though!
Collagen in shell membrane….
Maybe.
MCHC is the supplement form. It comes from ground up bones so I suppose you could process that yourself but I think supplementation would be much easier and cleaner.
