New Data Updates - Our P1NP/CTX Ratio Framework

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas explains the P1NP/CTX ratio and why it predicts fracture risk better than either bone turnover marker on its own. He breaks down what your bone formation and resorption markers reveal about whether you're building or losing bone, the updated target ratio numbers to aim for, what counts as the danger zone, and why your age, menopausal status, and fasting before your blood draw all affect what your results actually mean for your bone health.
