Thank you so much! I just had a DXA yesterday, and was so disappointed that my numbers went down in the last 2 years (2022: -3.3 spine; -4.5 hip to yesterday, 2024: -3.4 spine; -5 hip)!! And this is despite EVERYTHING I've been doing for a year (a lot of resistance training, SUPER clean, high-quality animal protein, fairly low carb diet, no sugar or refined crap,11K steps a day, vibration).. plus I've had great numbers for D for many years (supplementing with D3, mag, MK7, Omega 3 for over 15 years), etc. After seeing my numbers yesterday, I feel like I had the wind knocked out of my sails, as I thought my numbers might not go up, but at least not go down that much (well, the spine didn't go down by much, but my hips sure did!!)... Now considering a drug, I guess. I'm 65 and have never fractured a bone in my body. I'm tiny though (4'10") and under 80 lbs - so also hope the DXA shows it's worse than it actually is.

Thank you. I have just been prescribed Tymlos. I’m a 58 year old woman who went through menopause at age 42, had a combo of osteopenia and osteoporosis since then. I have been trying to get a Dr. To help me with this and all I got was exercise, take vitamin D & calcium. I was prescribed fosomax for a few years when I turned 48. In 2022 I got 2 compression fractures in my thoracic spine and have has severe pain since then. I started to see a rheumatologist and he has been so helpful. He told me he has not seen a case of osteoporosis so severe in someone my age. Had I known it was severe I probably would have been more careful, I had no idea I was at such a risk even though I had tried to get a Dr. to address this. It has taken my insurance company more than a month to approve of the medication.

Good evening. I tried to subscribe to master class. The notice says under construction and the site is not safe. My doctor put me on to forteo Which I was so afraid to take but after listening to this video I am a bit more settled . I have lupus. For plus 20 years I was on prednisone. I have multiple spine fracture and oesteoporis on my spine and both hips. I struggle to get out of bed as my tummy hurts after the fracture and I can only walk short distances. After listening to you for a week now. I am trying weights. I struggle because of exaustion and the Dr took me of prednisone. I am on plasmaquine and mycocept 500. I upped your recommended nurients. My gut is always an issue.. Eating is a struggle for me. And it isyour videos that gives me encouragement. My iron are always low. And I am 59 years old from South Africa.

This was a helpful episode for me, and reaffirmed that I made the correct decision in my treatment. I had terrible scores per bone density scan in my early 60s. I was on Tymlos for 20 months. Dr. wanted me to start Reclast when I refused, he placed me on Fosamax. I took it for several months. I did not tolerate well, urinary issues . I find very little research about this side effect. My symptoms resolved after I discontinued the drug. I now take Calcium/Vitamin D/ Vitamin K. I am more aware of my dietary intake of Calcium and I exercise. I wonder if I should even get another bone density if I don't intend to take any prescription medication. My mom is 90, and she took Fosamax for a short time 20 + years ago. Now, she takes supplements.

THANK YOU VERY much for this post...it doesn't definitively determine my path, but it DOES SUBSTANTIALLY decrease my fear of negatively effecting my bone metabolism in the future IF I end up choosing the Forteo Rx recommended by my bone health physican to get closer to normal: I am 45, been surgically menopausal since 37, have a history of prednisone for RRMS & sarcoidosis, & a current spine DEXA of -2.7 L4 at -3.2 😞, while hips & femoral neck are still osteopenic. I have the potential opportunity to REVERSE menopause through preserved ovarian tissue transplant, so there's A LOT of options on my plate to choose from... very blessed, but stressed to make the best decision.

Recent DXA showed big BMD gains in L femoral neck, overall hip and lumbar spine. Side effects limited to mild leg cramps on occasion. Supplement with Calcium and D3, also take Prempro. Periodic blood draws include checks of my calcium and D3 levels. In PT regularly.

Hi Dr. Lucas - so grateful to have found you. Great niche - and much needed. I will be joining your master class at a minimum. I'm 58 yo male, have a dexa of around -3.9 in the spine, I sustained 3-4 fractures, the latest one without trauma, diet and exercise is good. Extensive bloodwork is normal, so no root cause was found - a diagnosis of no diagnosis - idiopathic. I'm working with my naturapth on gut and metals analysis. My doctor wanted to prescribe forteo, but when she found out I had a high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma lesion (localized and hadn't spread) she recommended a bisphosphonate ( IV zoledronic acid) with the theoretical risk that increasing bone turnover could increase the risk for cancerous mutations to occur in bone cells. Not looking for medical advice here, but curious if your research on cancer and forteo found evidence to support that risk?

I have had parathyroid tumors (2) removed in 2018. Prior to that I was diagnosed with osteoporosis by dexa scan in my late 40s. Long family history of osteoporosis and I’m a small, low weight lady. I’ve read your book. Sounds like anabolic drugs are your preferred pharmaceutical when drugs are required. I don’t want to take drugs. Seen the results from my mother. Really no help to her and still broken bones. With lots of stomach complaints. I have changed my diet to almost total carnivore/keto. Taking all the right supplements per your videos. Stopped calcium after all the negatives. Would you consider former parathyroid tumor patients ok to take Forteo or Tymlos? I have my PTH checked annually by endocrinologist to make sure I don’t get more parathyroid tumors. So I’m quite worried to not go there again. Endocrinologist pushes me all the time to do drugs. Thoughts on my situation?.

I even ordered a Menopause panel on my own via LabCorp to monitor estradiol levels to make sure I'm getting enough to cover bone loss. The Bioidentical hormones were going to cost $3000/year. I decided to do patch/pill treatment temporarily until my appointment with a Functional Medicine Doctor in January. It will and was too difficult to stop my current hormone therapy cold turkey to pursue Bioidentical at this time and the effect it had on my body was rough. I will revisit in a few months.

So, if I'm understanding you correctly, though I'm sure you can't say specifically until you know why someone is losing bone, it sounds like you're saying anyone's bones can be improved without pharmaceuticals if they have the time (and comply with prescribed protocols, of course?) That's the thing...we're not particularly compliant, or we want to be but life gets in the way, or we don't see progress so we wonder why we're bothering. Etc. But, that's true of drug regimens too. There's a reason reclast is just once a year, right? I'm trying to envision giving myself a shot every day. I could do it but as the number of things I have to remember to do at what time goes up, I can see where something else could fall off, next thing you know, all you're doing for your bones is that one shot per day. Which is the other problem, at least, for mw, with pharmaceuticals? I'm just old enough to never have not had antibiotics and vaccines and you go to the doctor to GET a pill, you were lucky to have easy access to medical care/pills...so even though I also was taught to try to stay healthy, it was always like, "But there's a pill/shot for that, so don't sweat it " My mom took fosamax and now Prolia without a second thought (which is kind of weird because she's kind of anti-vax, even anti-supplement ) My dad is personally helping keep the pharmaceutical companies (and doctors) afloat. All to say, it almost feels crazy to not just go with the flow, but...recent times HAVE made me think about things I've just accepted as true or inevitable. My insurance company denied my doctor's request for Evenity, they suggest they might approve it if Prolia, Forteo or Tymlos prove to be contraindicated (how, by trying them?) They don't consider Evenity "medically necessary." Hence thus video. I feel better about forteo or tymlos now, (doctor didn't suggest them, not sure why,) but my husband, surprisingly, suggested I keep trying the natural route--at least until I get my next DEXA, due in January. (Heck, I'll be there before a drug is in hand, right?) So that's what I'll do. And for those wondering why I share so much info online, it's because maybe someone else is asking the same questions, having the same thoughts, and just needs to know they're not alone. If that makes me crazy or stupid, meh...been living a long time, probably I'm not going to change now.

Correct! However, we have to recognize that the studies ended with no good next step. This is the issue with short term drug therapy with no comprehensive plan in place. When we use these drugs, which is rare, we are making sure to create a comprehensive plan, that will support bone improvement overtime. I look at these drugs as an opportunity to push the lever on bone metabolism for a short period of time to get somebody out of a dangerous situation. If that is not paired with, a comprehensive plan to continue to improve on health then we are likely to see the loss of those benefits and potentially an increase in fracture risk.

I was encouraged u said u don't prescribe any drugs after Forteo. Are there any senerios where u would? Is one year on Forteo beneficial & can u resume to complete 2nd year after a one year break? Thx so much for your help

I have taken Movymia( I am told its the European alternative to Forteo) for 18 months, I do suspect a continued bone loss. Also I am hesitating to continue taking Movymia through the winter, as last winter was very difficult with stiff legs, joint pain etc. The doctor suggests a yearly Reclast injection, which I told him I dont want. I would think an overall assessment of the bones would be in place before making any further decisions. Whats your take Dr Lucas?

Yes. We find that it’s often possible to maintain benefits of bone anabolic drugs without bisphosphonates but requires a comprehensive plan. Consider reaching out to our team to learn more. www.optimalbonehealth.com/schedule

Orthopedist advised me i need a total hip replacement, i have severe osteoporosis. Endocrinologist wants me to start Forteo or Tymlos asap. Really in a dilemma, can't imagine a hip replacement with severe osteoporosis and taking these drugs.
@Dr_DougLucas
@Dr_DougLucas 9 месяцев назад
Tough spot but it’s common. The surgeons have specific approaches and instrumentation for poor bone quality and the anabolic drugs should improve bone quality prior to surgery. A scenario worth considering.

Newly diagnosed osteoporosis less than a month ago I do not have a thyroid or parathyroids had them removed because of cancer 30 years ago so if I do not have parathyroids, I’m not producing any of the hormone, correct and if so, then what is the cause of my osteoporosis?

@Dr_DougLucas
@Dr_DougLucas Год назад
Hi there, I haven’t done a video on it but maybe I should. Short answer is it does improve fracture risk but is not designed for long term use. Still need an answers there. Also increases blood clot risk. HRT and family history is a tough topic. I have a video coming out tomorrow on estrogen. I think you’ll find it compelling. Most notably treating the issue you know you have rather than treating the one you are afraid of. A long conversation for sure but make sure that decision is made between you and someone that knows the literature really well.

What about stopping Tymlos after 2 years? I am told that I will have to go to Prolia and/or Fosomax type for the rest of my life. I have osteoporosis with severe risk of fracture I am told, 68yo, began supplements in Jan, no fractures yet, I move alot but no regular exercise program. Have tried PT, etc over the years to help with periodic back pain. I would like to try to build bone without drugs but everyone has told me...Don't bend over...freaks me out. Also am in the need of a tooth extraction due to resorption of the tooth (could have been caused by too quickly moving my teeth with invisilign braces). Oral surgeons and dentists are scared of me being on these drugs and doing treatments now and in the future. So I am stuck not doing anything. And not sure if I can really improve my bones without these scary drugs. Any thoughts and help are welcome.

Hi, last month I fail 8 steps stair that cause bone broken at left leg and right shouler. Doctor said even I am 43 but the bone is like 70 of age!!! It is terrible if I have to spend many months till my bone fully recover, so I asked doctor is there any drug or remedy to help shorten the time of bone healing, then doctor recommend using Forteo. He said there some research that not only for Osteoporosis, it can also help to heal for bone fracture. Have you ever heard about this?

It depends on the unique case. I’m not a fan of Prolia in general but if bone loss needs to be slowed there may be a place for that. Forteo on the other hand is better for bone building.

Im using forteo for a bit over 1 year now. Dexa at 1 year L- spine improved 4.9% (3.4 to 3.1), but both hips got worse -7.6% ( from1.7/1.8 to 2.1/2.2). Other test results were insignificant. What could cause this disparity b/t spine and hip? I was focusing on weight/resistence training but not so much cardio. Lately ive added walking and ecliptical 30-45 min daily. Love to hear ur comments! TY!
@Dr_DougLucas
@Dr_DougLucas 10 месяцев назад
@belly4608 we see this discrepancy sometimes. We see it in both directions too. It sounds like the metabolic benefits of Forteo are providing the right impulse but the questions I’d want to answer are around other causes of bone loss, hormone, gut health, nutrition, nutrient depletion, inflammation etc. When we see a discrepancy often it could be to the stimulus for bone growth too. Is the training side loading the hips and spine adequately?
