We @sequoia are thrilled to announce our partnership with Freed. @getfreedai is @ErezDruk's love letter to his wife. She loves taking care of her patients but her days, like those of many other clinicians, were weighed down by administrative burden. Freed is solving that for her

Freed was launched 365 days ago. Today we have: 9k loving clinicians, 1m patient visits a month, 30 of the best people I worked with, $10m arr, and $30m in the bank. It helps me to reflect on this because 9/10 days feels like a disaster.

The Clinicians who VC group has launched! Co-instigators @chrissyfarr @slotkinjr and I want to see more clinicians on cap tables and influencing funding decisions. Interest has been off the charts, plz use this form to nominate yourself or others

I don't have the answers, but I know there will be serious implications for our health and the health of those around us. I just hope that those in "charge" know what they're doing...

3) Federal gov't spent billions buying COVID-19 vaccines, treatments & tests and provided them for free. With PHE ending, funding will dry up and costs will be shifted to us. Our health insurance will provide coverage, but costs will still increase. How will this impact behavior?

but it's clear some of these restrictions are coming back. This will make it difficult for many patients to continue to receive certain meds like buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, ketamine for depression, testosterone for hypogonadism. Where will these patients go for care?

2) During PHE, the DEA relaxed certain restrictions from the Ryan Haight Act, including waiving the in-person visit requirement before a telehealth doc Rxs controlled substances and allowing us to use our DEA license from one state to Rx in another. Final rules are still pending,

1) 20m Americans enrolled in Medicaid during PHE. Thanks to the continuous enrollment provision, many kept their insurance when they normally would've lost it. Now w/ PHE ending, up to 15m will lose Medicaid coverage during the unwinding process. What implications will this have?

3) COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, treatments & tests will likely become more expensive. This will depend on your health insurance and how manufacturers respond to the loss of a "guaranteed" customer in the federal gov't. More details on each:

With the Public Health Emergency (PHE) ending in May, here are 3 things to know and watch out for: 1) As many as 15m Americans will lose their health insurance. 2) Telehealth treatment for conditions like opioid use disorder and low testosterone will be more difficult to obtain.

If you’re on TRT or considering it, do it under the guidance of an experienced provider! They can monitor for adverse effects and adjust treatment if needed. Link to study:

Recent study shows hypogonadal men w/ HCT>52% in 1st yr of TRT may be at ⬆️ risk for blood clots & MACE (MI, stroke, etc). TRT has many benefits, but there are still risks! This is why @HoneHealth we screen all and check labs every 3 months in the 1st yr of treatment

The major effect of testosterone on the brain (of both males and females) is to make effort feel good.

Thanks @MensHealthMag for including us in latest article about testosterone deficiency! Low T is a chronic health condition that often goes unrecognized/underdiagnosed. Excited about our work @HoneHealth to make care more accessible/convenient with telemed

Snyder* lab sorry for the typo

Exciting and innovative research coming out of Stanford led by the Holmes lab

40% of US men age 40+ have low T. It can ⬆️ your risk for obesity, CV disease, diabetes, poor bone health, mortality. Also makes you feel like crap! ⬇️ libido/energy, poor mood, etc. @HoneHealth making it easier to test and treat:

Hope this doesn’t mean @elonmusk is gonna launch a competing company to @HoneHealth 😅

So that’s what I sound like at 1.5x speed 🙉 thank you @danielyores for helping get the word out about the importance of hormonal health and treating testosterone deficiency. I enjoyed discussing what we are building at @HoneHealth! @Saad_Hone @StuartBlitz https://t.co/0JgMpO9vs8
