In this interview, Andrea Donsky, nutritionist, published menopause researcher, menopause Educator, and co-founder of WeAreMorphus.com, goes deep into what works to prevent and reverse osteopenia and osteoporosis in perimenopause and menopause. Her guest, Dr. Doug Lucas, is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon who now specializes in osteoporosis treatment. He is the founder of Optimal Human Health MD and Pima Bioidentical and creator of the Osteo Collective.

Topics Covered:

• Why women are more susceptible to bone loss and fractures during menopause.
• The connection between hormones, bone density, and bone quality.
• Prevention strategies beyond conventional medicine include lifestyle, nutrition, and supplementation.
• The importance of protein and proper nutrition for bone health, and why the "skinny over strong" mindset doesn't support bone health.
• It is vital to test bone density early with DEXA, REMS Ultrasound, and Quantitative CT to understand how bone quality changes over time.
