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.

I am a 64 yr old woman and have increased my bone density in my spine by 12% and my hips 4.6% . I take my supplements individually. I took vitamin k2 m7, D3, Boron, Magnesium glycinate. Stopped eating bread and sugar. I use monk fruit and stevia. My doctor was really surprised. They were pushing the drugs. I had gone into osteoporosis. I now take creatine monohydrate to help my muscles and energy.

My husband d was very very sick and I had to do everything alone for a couple of months and during that period my son was in a Head on car collision so I had him to take care of and I did too much because that is when everything happened. That was in April. I know all this information is great BITNI REALLY NEED A ONE-ON-ONE with someone like you. All my Doctors do nothing but tell me to take Bisophosphonates. Which I really don’t want to do BUT AM TERRIFIED FOR MY SPINE TO COLLAPSE. My whole life has changed. I am always in pain.

D3/K2 is recommended. K2 helps put the calcium into the bones. This was discovered a few years ago so studies were done. Without the K2 calcium was going into the soft tissues. Now D3/K2 is being told to use by many Drs. Higher doses fro a couple of weeks then taper down as needed.

I like the hydroxy apatite form. Listed as MCHC or OHC. Magnesium is critical for bone integration and I think probably should be obtained in diet and supplementation in more like a 2:1 ration Magnesium:Calcium or higher.

Hello there and thank you so much for creating this knowledge hub regarding osteoporosis. A question: is there a problem taking mk7 and vitamin D3 together in terms of the optimality of their absorption? do they need to be taken with oil?

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Thank you. Great questions. I’ve heard the theory that K2 and D3 shouldn’t be taken together but I look at natural foods and the nutrients that are often paired together. K2 and D3 are not seen in significant amounts in food but where they do show up they show up together. So, I don’t mind taking them together. They do need to be taken with a fat source but not necessarily oil.

When coming off of the drug program, a comprehensive plan has to be in place. For most people, this includes additional medication’s. For us we will generally start with a comprehensive program based on our optimization framework. We also start this process while the patient is still on the drug, and then once in place, come off of the drug and carefully monitor bone quality.

I was hearing that the other calciums were manly made out of rocks. This Calcium is naturally occuring from Algae. 1.100 mg. I also get it from my foods. So I try and balance the amount between the Raw Calcium and what I am getting through my foods. What is your take on this form? Thank you.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

I don’t like plant forms of calcium because of contaminants that are not routinely screened for from algae sources. Some calcium forms like oxides are essentially rocks but others are made from bones and are my preference. MCHC, OHC are two forms that we use. I have a few videos on them.

Thank you so much for this information! I have repeated much of this myself to my patients for a few years now, learned from following Westin a price foundation. Question: When you spoke about avoiding “vitamin K” if on Coumadin, you did not specify whether it should also be k2 that is avoided. Obviously, k1 should be, and I know that it is said that k2 should also be avoided but I’m wondering if this is truly necessary or overly cautious, since k2 does not really function as a clotting factor like k1 does. Just wondering why you did not specify any difference.

Hi Doc, Thanks for asking. Great question. You are right, K2 shouldn’t increase clotting BUT I wouldn’t risk it with a patient on Coumadin. However, I would recommend they ask their doctor to change medications.

What do you consider a "high dose" of alpha tocopheryl? My opthalmologist advised me to take a supplement called Preservision AREDS2. Each softgel contains 90 mg (600% of DV) of dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate, and the dosage is 2 soft gels per day. My multivitamin contains 22.5 mg (150%) of dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate.

[@wocket42]

Based on research, supplements with daily dose over 15mg alpha tocopheryl is probably "too high". Not sure about the "acetate", maybe that adds weight.

Is fossimax a good calcium supplument

[@Dr_DougLucas]

If you are referring to the pharmaceutical Fosamax it’s a bisphosphonate drug, not a calcium. I’m not aware of a Fosamax version with calcium in it but there may be. If it did exist it’s likely too much and in a cheap form.

DR. DOUG. 3-28-2024. I feel like I am spinning my wheels…..with you…..on getting solid info. First, I struggle because your videos are so long and detailed, that frankly, I am worn completely OUT going from one to another, to another. Second. Hearing BASICALLY the same things repeatedly….plus getting soooo worn out is THE reason I don’t sign up for that one hour class. The seemingly long winded information is wearing me down. I am SO sorry to say this. Third. So I STILL have my doggone basic bottom line questions. A. You say do not take calcium. Then, you say TO take calcium. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 B. You NEVER have mentioned specific Labs for a recently diagnosed Osteoporosis patient…..to request. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I will be 80 soon. I have OTHER HORRIBLE diseases, so am constantly trying to stay apprised of THOSE, as well. I love you since you seem to be a natural or transplanted Southern boy, but honey, you are driving me into an early grave.❤️

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. I have been told very many times in the past that I speak too fast and do not go into detail enough so I have practiced slowly down. Everyone is different but I will try to meet in the middle :) I just published a video that goes into great detail about calcium. This will hopefully answer your questions. The video is called "Best Calcium Supplement for Osteoporosis: 2024 Update & NEW Perspectives on Calcium"

[@carolcole570]

@@Dr_DougLucas Thank you for the video referral, BUT, for my elderly mind, it simply went completely OVER my head. All that is continually whirling thru MY mind is, “ You are soon to be 80. Because of your AGE , do NOT take calcium. Period/the end. PLUS, get your calcium levels checked,and IF they are too high, then follow Dr. Berg’s advice on getting it LOWERED. “ So, this is where I stand. And as usual, your information…..for ME…..is just too overwhelming and I can’t comprehend what you are trying to teach us. Part of MY problem is A.D.D. , I realize.

What level do you like Vitamin D at? I've maintained mine at 75 or so for 10 years, but still developed osteoporosis. This dose seems high for ongoing. I've had to back off of 5000 IU from time to time. Isn't there data so support a multivitamin in health? I was thinking of good multivitamin, K2, Calcium/mag, D separate combo do to manage separately amounts? Wondering about a natural source like cod liver oil for A? Still confused on K2 since fro what I've read the only substantial data supporting lower fracture rates is with MK4 Japan/high dose studies. We don't have enough data with MK7? If that's true why not go with the long time tested MK4 Japan 45 mg dose?

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Hi, I don't like that dose because it's a monster dose! Also, I try to use supplementation to mimic natural consumption not supraphysiologic. There is data to support the impact MK7 has on osteocalcin and subsequently on bone. I wouldn't expect to see a large trial on MK-7 due to the lack of funding. The rest of recommended supplements we use biomarkers to determine. If you haven't come to our masterclass it may help to clear things up for you!

[@bevfitzsimmonds3382]

K2(7) is the natural form...K2(4) is the synthetic form. There is a lot of motivation to "prove" K2(4), as the manufacturers have a vested interest in it...they make it: they want to sell it! K2(7) is the form available in Australia, but l have yet to find a doctor whose training included a mention of it!! Mine have never heard of it! SO SAD. But their is plenty of well-researched documentation out there. I take K2(7). 👍💪🦴

Thanks for the video! I looked at the supplement and it says vitamin A = retinyl palmitate and mixed carotenoids, why mixed carotenoids? Vitamin E appears to be in tocopherol, acetate and mixed tocopherols; no tocotrienols? Wouldn’t it say tocotrienols? Too vague for me. Vitamin D3 and K2 as MK7 look good.

[@bluewaters3100]

Thanks for posting. I would also wonder about the vitamin E with no tocotrienols. I am taking one already with tocotrienols from Jarrow...not easy to find a good brand. I took a bad fall backwards ten days ago and broke my wrist. I am 71 and if I had not already been on this aproximate protocol for a few years I would have required surgery.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Agree. I'd like to see tocotrienols in there as well. I actually take a second vitamin E from Life Extension called Gamma E for more of it. The mixed carotenoids are designed to provide a variety of plant based vitamin A. Not my preference either since I don't think they provide any value over retinol.

Thank you for the explanation about vitamins, particularly vitamin E which I hadn't considered before as a bone health supplement. I don't mind taking a couple more pills of vitamin A and E if necessary. I have reduced my intake of calcium supplements to 500mg daily, based on monitoring my diet and realizing I was getting at least half what I needed through my food. I went to the product site. It has this disclaimer: "Caution: Individuals taking more than 50 mcg (2,000 IU) of Vitamin D per day should have their vitamin D levels monitored. This product is not intended for long term use and should be used under the supervision of your doctor." The product has 125 mcg of vitamin D, which is 5,000 IU. That seems like a lot. And if it's not intended for long-term use, I can't see it as being helpful for a long-term regimen, which is what we need if we're striving to improve and maintain bone health.

They have to say that because it's an effective dose but for some could drive them over 100 ng/mL. However, we are generally giving patients more than this and most don't get there.

I am just lost. I recently learned I have osteoporosis and osteopinia in my spine and hips. Lots of pain in my back and one failed back surgery. I'm allergic to so many foods, so I have taken various supplements. My teeth started breaking, so I started the process of dental implants. Then, I needed bone graphs in my lower jaw. 2 months ago, my primary care doctor put me on Fosamax, and my oral surgeon hit the roof!!! I'm hearing horrible things about Fosamax, especially with dental issues, so I decided to stop taking the Fosamax. I had a hysterectomy at a young age. I'm sure that didn't help. Now I'm 65 and very worried. So many questions~ Supplements? (Thanks for this video on that) T-3? Best Hormones? Fosamax or not? ~My brother's entire spine collapsed. I don't want mine to do that.

Thumbs up on this video, I really enjoyed the explanation of esp K2. I eat natto and the way to make it more palatable is to mix it with Japanese rice or any rice that is short and round. Mix natto into rice well and then cut up salted seaweed and sprinkle on top of the rice natto mix. It's delicious. I would like to ask - why is vitamin K2 MK7 pill more expensive on its own vs when it's combined in a D3+K2 MK7 combo pill? I noticed this in most brands and it's always the standalone K2 that is more expensive. I take D3+K2 (125mg) and the price is reasonable but when I see another K2 (125mg) pill without the D3, the price is double or triple of the combo that I eat. Hope you could give some insight on this. Thank you so much.
