A patient in her 70s thanked me today.
For years she was told by her PCP and endocrinologist, “Your labs look fine. Nothing is wrong.”
But she didn’t feel fine.
She was struggling with hot flashes, poor sleep, weight gain, and loss of muscle.
We looked at the whole picture. Not just whether her numbers fell inside a reference range.
Now she’s sleeping better, her night sweats are significantly improved, she’s losing weight, and we’re working on building muscle at 78.
That’s what “rethinking what it means to be healthy” means to me.
Treat the patient, not just the numbers.
And whenever possible, prevent disease before you have to treat it.
Thank you Anthony
I discovered $OPEN last year because of this tweet
$OPEN is the biggest bet of my life in the stock market
This is a generational company
@MrNeverSell I love NLT. Easiest to understand.
I like going back and forth with NIV, ESV, TPT, and MSG.
Sometimes AMP and NKJV (Modern language for KJV)
Why are we still spending trillions treating diseases at the end of life and almost NOTHING preventing them in the early stages or in the middle? Prevention has always been cheaper, more effective than late intervention.
