Today on the root cause medicine podcast.

A lot of the women that I'm seeing are in their 60s and 70s.

So they were part of that generation that just got absolutely screwed by the WHA and the impact that it left in the wake like the decade after.

That's when they went through menopause.

So now we're having this conversation for women that are 10 to 20 years out, over 20 years out, and sometimes over 30 years out for menopause. Is it safe for me to start hormone replacement therapy now? What are the risks? I was told I whatever, all the cancer stuff, like all of that stuff for women that aren't on it, can we start it now? And so we had to really dig deep into like, when are we comfortable doing that? Hello, hello. I'm your co-host for today, Dr. Carrie Jones,

and I am thrilled to be speaking with osteoporosis expert, Dr. Doug Lucas.

He is a double board certified physician specializing an osteoporosis reversal.

Yes, I said it, osteoporosis reversal, hormone replacement and health span.

He practiced for nearly a decade in the field of orthopedic surgery, so he knows bones.

And then he went on to gain a fellowship and board certification and anti-aging and regenerative medicine.

He's the founder of Optimal Human Health MD, his nationwide

telehealth practice, and he runs the very popular channel, The Dr. Doug Show, on YouTube.

If you have questions about bone loss, osteoporosis, and how to reverse it, listen up. This is the show for you.

Before we get started, though,

I want to talk to you about something that comes up pretty often on this podcast, and that, of course,

are supplements. There is a lot of confusion around supplements, and you only want to take the best quality that uses top-tier certified manufacturers and most importantly,

do third-party independent testing to make sure what's on the label is in the capsule.

That's why I've teamed up with new ethics formulations as their chief medical officer.

The team already had a strong history in the supplement world, but started the company to really focus on bettering your health

and helping to enhance your physique or performance goals.

I'm excited to help them continue to focus on the endocrine system in hormones

as it relates to glucose, thyroid, estrogen, and even your gut microbiome.
