Dr. Doug Lucas

Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified physician and founder of PEMA BioIdentical and Optimal HumanHealth MD (OHH), his two parallel platforms created with patient expectations and outcomes in mind. As a pioneer in the fields of healthspan, hormone replacement, osteoporosis and comprehensive telehealth solutions, Dr. Doug launched his nationwide telehealth practice to see patients in 2020. He created a platform that allowed him and his hand-picked team of experts to see patients the way they feel patients deserve to be seen. Prior to Optimal Human Health MD, Dr. Doug practiced in the traditional medical model. He completed his orthopedic surgery training at Stanford University and began traditional orthopedic surgery practice in Durango, CO. After seven years of disappointment with the system in which Dr. Doug found himself, he left the traditional medical model and pursued additional training. He completed a fellowship with the American Academy of Anti-AgingMedicine (A4M) in anti-aging, hormone optimization, metabolic and functional medicine as well as a separate fellowship in epigenetics.

After completion of this training, Dr. Doug achieved his second Board Certification in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine as well as the status of Fellow in Anti-Aging and Metabolic Medicine before fulfilling his vision by launching Optimal Human Health MD (OHH). Shortly after launching the core program for healthspan with OHH and treating patients with the Health Optimization Pyramid framework, Dr. Doug used this backbone to create the “4R Method” to Recognize, Reverse, Retest and Revive patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia. OHHMD is now focused exclusively on bone health and stands alone as the only program run by a dual board-certified physician and surgeon with a team of experts to help patients get to the root problem of their bone loss, improve their healthspan and live without the fear of fracture.

During the rapid growth of OHH, Dr. Doug was exposed to the current state of hormone replacement in the US and worldwide. He and his team realized the tremendous need for a new approach to HRT that can be delivered through a telehealth platform and V2 DRAFT133 TOP 10 REASONS WHY YOUR HORMONES ARE FAILING YOU straight to a patient’s door.

He served on the research committee for the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society®(AOFAS) for 9 years from 2013 until 2022.
