I'm coining a new term: primordial care. ⭐️Primordial care is the stage when a person is actively engaging with their #health before their first contact with the #healthcare system. ⭐️. It is the individual-level equivalent of #publichealth primordial prevention. Primordial.

Could @JulieMenin please provide an update to the #UES neighborhood on the homeless shelter opening up in just a few weeks? Last update was 2024 from @PatchTweet and it seems like this is a suspiciously surreptitious opening.

This highly informative table from @American_Heart showcases where degree of processing is and is not associated with better #health . I am personally a big fan of highly processed silk tofu as both tofu hua or mapo tofu

No one seems to notice but @CMSGov is privatized. "75% of @UHC U.S. revenues of $295 billion in 2024 came from federal and state taxpayers.". 👉 Vertical integration with 2700+ subsidiaries has created this juggernaut of #HellthInsurance.

Thanks to the OEO ( hosts like @AndrewBrownPHD and Dr. David Allison for highlighting our commentary with @TheEndoSociety #JCEM ⭐️ Tirzepatide Heralds the Hope of Chronic Disease Eradication⭐️.👉 My commentary was intentionally NOT.

Look at @novonordiskus, taking incremental steps to acknowledge the heterogeneous #obesity markets and try to ⬆️access to the real thing. I appreciate the cash-pay, U.S.-based option for a multidose semaglutide pen. This is particularly helpful for the patients who are.

I've been thinking about the next generation of #obesity medications. How will we address the abnormal energy utilization as part of its pathophysiology? . I think current leading agents semaglutide, tirzepatide cause #weightloss primarily by ⬇️appetite/⬆️fullness that, as a

👏🎉 #Wegovy becomes the first #GLP1 to have @US_FDA approved indication for MASH 👉 Semaglutide is becoming the Swiss Army knife for clinicians who treat metabolic diseases.

In this environment, @novonordiskus would be smart to make the opposite decision and ⬇️ the price of semaglutide. Don’t follow Lilly's lead as you have been. Lead differently. @DrAngelaFitch @ConscienHealth @ManOnThePen.

I've been trying to sort out how 2 high quality epidemiology studies applied the Lancet Commission clinical #obesity definition and concluded with vastly different prevalences: . 9.7% vs. 39.1% . Shen et al examined NHANES 2017-2020 👉- 9.7% clinical

PSA: gut absorption of GLP1s don’t happen if you’re a large peptide (like semaglutide or tirzepatide) unless you have the propriety tech to do so (SNAC) . If you’re losing weight with off brand oral GLP1s, it’s because of, at best, placebo effect, and at worst, an undisclosed.

The patients who are on compounded #GLP1s for #obesity probably fall into 3 categories:.1. BMI too low to be eligible for medical management .2. Insurance coverage does not provide access .3. NovoCare and LillyDirect cash-pay options are too expensive . Only 3️⃣ is a lever that.

🎉 Congratulations to @DrSuePedersen et al on the updated @ObesityCanada guidelines for #obesity. Her blog on "What's New? is especially helpful. I hope future iterations include the What's New section in the official publication just like the ADA Standards of Care. 👉.
