The Scan That Reveals Hidden Trabecular Bone Loss (DEXA Can’t See This) [Ludovic Humbert Interview]
The Dr. Doug ShowShow Notes
In this video Dr. Doug interviews Ludovic Humbert, co-founder and chief science officer of 3D Shaper, to unpack how this new imaging software turns a standard 2D DEXA hip scan into a 3D analysis of cortical and trabecular bone. They explore how it compares to DEXA, REMS, and CT, why it may improve fracture risk prediction, and how it could guide more personalized treatment decisions. They also discuss FDA clearance, clinical adoption, and future possibilities like strength modeling and spine analysis. *3D Shaper Medical*Website: https://www.3d-shaper.com/*Body Analytics*Website: https://bodyanalytics.fit/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/knowyourbodyownyourhealthYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bodyanalytics8964Phone: 314-471-5373🦴 *Stronger Bones.

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. They also explore GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and semaglutide, the potential risks of muscle and bone loss during weight loss, GLP-1 microdosing, and why strength training and metabolic health are essential for healthy aging.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone?location=Spotify🔗 Dr. Tyna's YT Channel: http://www.youtube.com/@drtyna 🔗 Dr. Tyna's website: drtyna.com🔗 The Menopause Rebellion: https://www.skool.com/drtyna
Dr. Doug reveals five common fall prevention mistakes that could increase fall and fracture risk in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis or osteopenia. He examines the research behind high-dose vitamin D, bifocals, sleep medications, fear of falling, and whole-body vibration therapy while explaining how balance training and safer daily habits can help prevent falls and support healthy aging.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://bit.ly/BoneHealthRoadmapMC 🔗 Request your Fall Prevention Quick Start Guide: https://lp.osteocollective.com/fall-prevention-guide 🔗 Dr. Doug's first Fall Prevention episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2fS4aGdLi2nTzFbywToEJQ?si=Fe3fggj7T36L_CgOCdj_2g
Dr. Doug breaks down the five most effective ways to prevent falls and reduce fracture risk, especially for adults with osteoporosis or osteopenia. He covers balance testing, home fall hazards, vision and foot health, resistance training, and evidence-based balance exercises that can help people stay strong, mobile, and independent as they age.🔗 Bone Foundations Masterclass: https://www.osteocollective.com/build-bone 🔗 Request your Fall Prevention Quick Start Guide: https://lp.osteocollective.com/fall-prevention-guide
Dr. Doug sits down with Dr. Tony Keaveny to explore biomechanical CT (BCT), an emerging bone imaging tool that uses CT scans and finite element analysis to measure bone density, bone strength, and fracture risk beyond what a DEXA scan can show. They compare BCT vs. DEXA and FRAX, discuss radiation exposure and new Medicare coverage, and explain who may benefit from BCT when evaluating osteoporosis, conflicting bone density results, or spine surgery risk.🔗How to order the O.N.

Dr. Doug breaks down five important tests to consider after an osteoporosis diagnosis, including vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone, TSH, 24-hour urine calcium, and bone turnover markers. He explains how these osteoporosis tests can help uncover potential secondary causes of bone loss and establish a baseline for tracking bone density, bone metabolism, and long-term progress.🔗 Is Your Thyroid Treatment Weakening Your Bones?
