New research on Bondia (SBD111) highlights the powerful connection between gut health, inflammation, and bone loss. In this video, Dr. Doug breaks down how this medical food uses prebiotics, probiotics, and vitamin D to support the gut–immune–bone axis. He explains who may benefit most, including women with osteopenia, higher body fat, or chronic inflammation. You’ll also learn how improving gut function may help reduce bone breakdown and support stronger bones over time. If you’re focused on preventing osteoporosis or optimizing bone health, this is a must-watch.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41584438/Previous Bondia videos:https://youtu.be/rtCDlxVCeZIhttps://youtu.be/hvJqorMy6J0BONDIA Affiliate LinkSave 10% off BONDIA using this link: https://solaria.bio/DRDOUGIf you use this affiliate link, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.Join the STARS clinical trialhttps://www.marcusinstituteforaging.org/join-research-study/synbiotic-attenuate-resorption-skeleton-stars🦴 Stronger Bones.

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas revisits bisphosphonate drugs, explaining that while they can effectively increase bone density and reduce fracture risk short term, they are not ideal as a long-term solution. He emphasizes that these medications can still play a role when combined with lifestyle, nutrition, and hormone optimization rather than used alone. The key takeaway is a “both-and” approach, using medications alongside natural strategies to support bone health. He also highlights the post-drug “holiday” as an important window to maintain or even improve bone density with the right interventions.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7477143/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17190893/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25990354/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12919708/🦴 Stronger Bones.
