Guess who is getting older?  ALL of us!   Some of us want to go out fighting, using all of the tools and resources available! ( yep that’s me….I’m wielding my anti-aging ninja stick in all directions these days!) Some of you may want to focus on one aspect of your health and make some specific improvements. Others are interested in all aspects of improving stamina, vitality, energy, physical appearance and mental motivation.  Optimal Health practices are starting to pop up across the country and today’s guest, Dr. Doug Lucas, is a physician who walks us through his practice model.  We talk about everything from bioidentical hormones, bone health, diet and disease prevention, reversing diabetes and new tools such as apps/trackers and even peptides.  Dr. Doug also shares how and why he transitioned from an Orthopedic surgical practice to a completely different realm of Medicine.  We have ONE life to live- so make the BEST of it!  Optimal Health can help you do just that. Bio: Dr. Doug Lucas (Dr. Doug) is a board certified orthopedic surgeon who has made a transition to health optimization. After finishing his training at Stanford in foot and ankle surgery he practiced orthopedic surgery for 6 years. During this time his passion for prevention and optimizing patients drove him to pursue additional fellowship training in anti-aging and function medicine, precision health and hormone optimization. He now sees patients in his practice Optimal Human Health MD where he and his team offer telehealth services nationwide focusing on restoring patients Stamina, Ambition, Vitality, Energy and Drive. He also has a focus on bone health and osteoporosis which he runs through Optimal Bone Health.
