A better indicator than T-score is BMD (bone mineral density) because of how the graph lines plotting T-scores decline as one ages (y-axis = BMD; x- axis = age; T-score is represented as a slight downward slope on the graph). At any rate, Apr 2024 L1-L4 BMD = .709 (T-score = -3.1). Aug 2025 BMD =.775 (T-score= -2.5).
I also had REMS analysis in Jan 2025 and Aug 2025; spine quality has improved about 6%.
NOTE: I did not begin weightlifting until June 2024 and I did not begin Dr Doug’s program until last Sept.
It has taken much daily diligence and grit to improve; OP, as Dr Doug says, is not a disease that you can supplement your way out of.
