Dr. Doug Lucas reveals why DEXA scans may not accurately reflect changes in bone density, explaining how measurement errors, least significant change (LSC), and inconsistent testing can affect osteoporosis and osteopenia results. He compares DEXA vs. REMS bone scans, shares his own reported 20% bone density improvement, and explains how bone turnover markers and long-term testing trends can help patients better understand their bone health.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone?location=Spotify

Dr. Doug Lucas sits down with Dr. Tyna Moore to discuss how hormone replacement therapy (HRT), perimenopause, and menopause affect bone density, joint pain, muscle health, and osteoporosis prevention.
