Hi everyone and welcome back for another episode of In Biolog. I’m your host Parker Condit, CEO and Co-Founder of Modo Bio. 

My guest today is Dr. Doug Lucas, DO, FAAMM Board Certified Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine Physician Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon. Dr. Doug is a health optimization physician. Previously, he was a Stanford fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon – now retired from that field he is CEO and Founder of Optimal Bone Health where he and his team help patients optimize bone quality by reviewing lifestyle factors, genetics, extensive lab work, and functional testing. 

Dr. Doug left his role in the traditional healthcare model as an orthopedic surgeon so he could help educate his patients and followers on how to prevent the surgeries he was trained to perform.

We covered a lot in this show. The first half of the discussion is around bone health which includes what exactly osteoporosis is, his model using the 4 pillars of health (exercise, nutrition, sleep, and connection), how men and women differ when it comes to bone health and preventative measures, and how this is currently measured and assessed here in the US. 

The second half of the conversation is more around his practice in Asheville, NC and we dive into our thoughts on where the healthcare industry is going in the future. Towards the end of the show, we briefly discuss ways that patients can be their own best advocates when it comes to their health – which is becoming a common theme among guests. There are a lot of gems in this show and we link to all the resources mentioned in the show notes as well. 

So without further ado, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Doug Lucas.
