Dr. Doug Lucas was featured on The Thyroid Fixer with host Dr. Amie Hornaman for Episode 467: “Bone Loss, Thyroid and Hormones: How to prevent Osteoporosis” (published November 1, 2024). In this conversation, Dr. Doug breaks down why bone health is a healthspan issue—not just a “bone density” issue—and how thyroid and hormone patterns can meaningfully influence bone outcomes.

Together, they cover the difference between osteoporosis vs. osteopenia, common misconceptions around calcium, and what a stronger “bone-support” foundation can look like (including magnesium, vitamin D3, K2, and algae-based calcium). They also discuss the role of BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) compared to standard bone medications, plus why a suppressed TSH can matter for bone density. The episode wraps with actionable guidance on resistance/impact training, protein considerations, and how certain diet approaches can affect bone health.
