Excited to kick off my Grand Rounds season with an updated lecture on Pharmacotherapy for Obesity—a field evolving faster than most realize. From GLP-1s to emerging NuSH-based combination therapies, the science and clinical practice are advancing every month. Grateful for the

🍬 Sweeteners vs Sugar: What a Year-Long Study Really Found - - - New research challenges long-held assumptions about artificial sweeteners. A 12-month randomized trial (SWEET Study, Nature Metabolism, 2025) compared adults on a healthy low-sugar diet with vs without sweeteners.

This comment is exactly why lawyers shouldn't run science.

The current political moment is far worse than Watergate. Back then, there was accountability for executive overreach and lawlessness. Republican colleagues held each other accountable. Democratic colleagues held Republicans accountable. I know this personally—my grandfather

I don’t know who needs to hear this: cheaper drug access is not an indication for personalized compounding. I say this as someone who deeply believes in expanding access to affordable, high-quality medications—but “personalized” should never be code for circumventing market

The most humbling realization from my medical training was that knowing how to deliver cutting-edge care isn’t enough. You also have to build the business, infrastructure, and clinical delivery systems that make evidence-based treatments possible. In my experience, physicians

We can’t just do good science—we have to sell it. Pro-science efforts need to fund speaking tours, books, and films the same way MAHA and the anti-vaxxers do. Because right now, science isn’t losing the facts—it’s losing the marketing battle. Science needs its own celebrities!

My understanding is that the Covid-enhanced ACA subsidies helped stabilize premiums and enabled an additional enrollment of over 12 million people in the Marketplace since 2020, with total ACA Marketplace enrollment exceeding 24 million in 2025. Since the ACA's inception, the net
Covid-era subsidies apply to 7% of current ACA enrollees (1.6 million). Many thanks, @MichaelAlbertMD

These kinds of binary, all-or-nothing characterizations aren’t helpful. The ACA eliminated discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions and expanded coverage to tens of millions. High-quality data also show that the ACA reduced mortality. Yes, it’s a deeply flawed
So we can all admit that Obamacare has been a huge failure, right? Otherwise everyone’s healthcare wouldn’t be so expensive, frustrating, and dependent on government subsidies.

Big news: The HPV vaccine is working. (And in many countries, it’s on its way to eliminate cervical cancer.) A study in JAMA Pediatrics with 2,300 women found that over 17 years, HPV infections dropped by 98% in vaccinated women (& 76% in the unvaccinated due to herd immunity).

Thank goodness we've destroyed the academic research environment! 🤦🏼♂️
This Nature article shows that most Nobel Prize winners are part of one big, incestuous academic network. Out of 736 Nobel laureates in science and economics, 702 are "part of the same academic family." Only 32 researchers out of this network have won the Nobel Prize.

I spoke today with someone whose family was devastated after a clinical trial investigating the only potential treatment for a terminal genetic condition was shut down by the Trump administration. While clinical trials never guarantee success, ending this program meant those
I fear the public will never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research system and its consequences. A loss of ~$4.5 billion in frozen or cancelled grants with at least 148 impacted clinical trials = 138,000 patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled.

Science cannot be dogmatic. By definition, science is a method—a systematic way of studying and understanding the natural world through observation, hypothesis, testing, and revision. Individuals may misrepresent, politicize, or even lie about scientific findings, but that
@simonmaechling Because "science" became dogmatic and religious while the leaders of "science" lied to the public.

I would argue that James Johnson and others have demonstrated that when insulin signaling is severely impaired—essentially reaching an “end state”—it drives a highly obesogenic physiological condition. In this context, the anabolic dominance of disrupted insulin pathways may
More than 2 decades since GLP-1 drugs were introduced, we still don't know why people with diabetes lose about half as much weight as those without diabetes at the same dose https://t.co/HtcP9cfHUG
