OMG WHAT?! We hit #1 in a few categories today, but this one (@ABPMR) is obviously the nearest and dearest to my heart. Every. single. sale. is more support than most realize, and for now, eBooks are on sale for $.99! geni.us/healinginadvan… #prehab #prehabilitation
Number 1 rule with my patients: stay consistent Number 2 rule: don't get hurt, as you'll then violate rule number 1
Getting started with exercise is hard, but keeping it sustainable is harder. A new study of 5,000+ runners showed even modest increases in session distance (10-30% beyond the longest run in the past 30 days) raised injury risk by 64%. Those who succeed with fitness long-term…
Um... did they also remove the laundry list of other highly processed ingredients? And then, if they did that, they'll still have sugar and cream so...
Blue Bell is making ice cream healthy again by removing all artificial dyes. Proud to have a distribution location in KCK🍦
If something this easy (and probably delicious) could fix all of the world's metabolic problems, it wouldn't be a debate... it would be mainstream. With this level of discourse, it doesn't matter if it's more expensive- many more would have capitalized on it already
No @DaveAsprey, replacing #seedoils with #tallow (or lard or whatever) for frying wont improve #health (e.g. #heart disease, inflammation, lipid profile, etc.) based upon the body of #science. @DrNadolsky @MohammedAlo @TheAlanAragon @joelklatt @nationallipid @DrPlantel @Drlipid

Try citing this study — it was the talk of #ASCO25 :) I’m also a big believer in “prehab” (it certainly helped me pre-Whipple) cc: @MVGutierrezMD @AlexWatsonMD
Critical move, before it's too late
When adjusted for inflation, physicians #Medicare payments have ⬇️33% since 2001. This letter 👇signed by 75 national organizations, asks Senate leadership to include the Medicare payment provision in the House-passed ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ in the senate legislative…
Yeah, politics aside, the Boogeyman rhetoric by @SenWarren is the same distraction/kick the can game that has let this mess worsen. Address the real problem, please, or at least demonize the appropriate parties
No. It's because PBMs corrupt healthcare. Big Pharma wishes they could set their own pricing. They don't. PBMs control formularies and manipulate prices, in exchange for providing pharma access to patients. It's how they maximize rebate revenue. In fact, 3 PBMs NEGOTIATE…
That's why I can say with a straight face that membership medicine likely saves most patients money or is a wash in the intermediate/long term (with far better satisfaction)
A Reminder for Patients: The reason you can’t get an appointment… The reason you don’t have the same physician year after year… The reason healthcare feels colder, more chaotic, and less personal… The reason you have less and less choice in your care… It’s not because your…

Ok, reassuring there's no statistical significance here, but I'm curious where there may be a signal if removing some of the healthy users taking tadalafil for preventative or exercise performance....
Melanoma and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors: "The OR for sildenafil was 1.85 (95% CI: 0.97–3.51, P = 0.059, I² = 99%), tadalafil 1.54 (95% CI: 0.79–3.00, P = 0.203, I² = 96%), and vardenafil 1.16 (95% CI: 0.82–1.64, P = 0.391, I² = 89%)." journals.lww.com/melanomaresear…
Just imagine that feeling... 🤯
One of the best moments in Olympic history
This type of content is why I still log into Xwitter... (besides to talk about creatine and deadlifting)

Whoa, that's not subtle from a relative risk perspective. On an absolute sense, 🤷, risks<benefits for most im sure

Why do people overcomplicate a movement pattern so fundamental? Step 1: bend down, keep back flat Step 2: grab bar, hands roughly shoulder width Step 3: pick up bar, arms are levers as you push into ground with feet Step 4: don't tear hamstring I keep forgetting step 4 🤦
This is unnecessarily over-complicated and partly wrong. Your shoulders will never stay directly over the bar on a properly performed deadlift because of the way the lats attach, mostly. You can go look at every heavy, circa max pull from the floor, where the lifter tries to…
::looks around for whomever thought weight training was bad for you...::
50 years of “weight training is bad for you” to land at “everyone should weight train”, 30 years of “creatine is bad for you” to land at “creatine good for your brain & body”… “the mouth vs nose breathing thing is silly…” to “mouth breathing is bad for teeth, brain, face ”…
Absolutely irrespective of politics: this man is the least charismatic person to ever lurch in front of a camera
JUST NOW: CNN’s Pamela Brown shut down Stephen Miller as he spiraled into a full-blown meltdown “STEPHEN THIS IS MY SHOW.” Pamela Brown didn’t just fact-check Miller - she dismantled him. Maybe next time instead of an interview, CNN can arrange an exorcism.
Strike when the iron is hot! Given the window for peak satellite cell responsiveness is limited, introducing RT as early as possible can completely "fork the timeline" with regards to long term metabolic health
"...while aerobic activities remain essential, the next generation of physical activity guidelines should place greater emphasis on the particular importance of RT." Amen! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
