187_Optimizing Your Health Beyond Nutrition with Dr. Doug Lucas

Want to live the longest, healthiest life possible, but don't know where to start? Well, my next guest is here to help.I am excited to have Dr. Doug Lucas on the Smart Nutrition Made Simple show. Dr. Doug is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with expertise in functional medicine, hormone optimization, and anti-aging.He is the founder of Optimal Human Health and Optimal Bone Health, where he helps his patients the longest, healthiest life possible through a combination of lifestyle changes, targeted supplementation, hormone optimization, peptide therapy, and pharmaceuticals (where appropriate). In this podcast, we take a deep dive into all things optimization. We talk about Doug's journey from orthopedic surgery to opening up his own precision health practice, fundamental principles for anti-aging and longevity, his personal experience with metabolic dysfunction, and the limitations of our traditional medical model when it comes to disease prevention. We also talk about peptides, GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide (Wegovey) and Ozempic for weight loss, osteoporosis and osteopenia, and why we need to be thinking about these conditions at a much younger age than we currently do, as well as steps you can take right now to improve your bone health and prevent bone loss.This episode is jam-packed with valuable insights and practical tips to set you on the path toward optimal health.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.
