For anyone who challenges what is said in this article, show me the evidence that #intermittentfasting skipping breakfast leads to longer, healthier lives. It’s quite the opposite.

"Longstanding evidence suggests that skipping breakfast may be linked to #cardiovasculardisease. People should check with their health care providers before they try restricted eating." @DrLopezJimenez weighs in on #intermittentfasting: abcnews.go.com/Health/wireSto… @MayoClinic
Intermittent fasting may help some people to lose weight. But when done by skipping breakfast it may come with health risks
Intermittent fasting (IF), particularly time-restricted eating, has gained popularity for its simplicity, recent studies show mixed results on weight loss and potential cardiovascular risks. @DrLopezJimenez with @MayoClinicCV urges caution. Read more: bit.ly/3VcjiDP @AP

While the debate around the use and regulation of large language model-based health applications progresses slowly, the number and use of these technologies is advancing rapidly. Where's the middle ground? bit.ly/3RMimES
This study shows a closed-domain large language model has the potential to considerably reduce the workload of clinical care teams by generating high-quality, timely responses for in-basket message interactions. bit.ly/3GbWy36
It was with an amazing sense of gratitude receiving the Roderick H. Cushman professorship in Cardiovascular Sciences. This represents the culmination of my academic career I didn’t do alone, but with the help of family, mentors, mentees, and academic institutions.

Today is National Latino Physician Day! An important day to remember that only 6% of US doctors are Latino, and that is not enough. The percentage is lower in cardiology, less than 5% of practicing cardiologists in the US are Latino. It is an honor to be among them but we have to…
At our #HeartCafe session happening now, @amibanerjee1, @kamleshkhunti, @smacari, @DrLopezJimenez and @AngelaSKoh1 are exploring the complexities and challenges of managing CVD in patients with multiple long-term conditions. Join them at BOOTH F20 at #ESCCongress! ❤️
#SocialIsolation increases the risk for #heartattacks, premature death and #Beryl dementia. We need more research to determine causality and potential beneficial effect of reversing it.
