Casey Means and I are the same age. She dropped out of ENT residency and now calls herself a metabolic health and nutrition expert. I completed my internal medicine training and went on to earn certifications in obesity medicine, clinical lipidology, cardiometabolic medicine, menopause, and culinary medicine and working on more. I actively care for patients every day.
I would never claim to be qualified to serve as Surgeon General. But her consideration for such a role is a striking reality of how this administration continues to devalue real expertise in favor of hype, media presence and wellness branding. Credentials matter. Experience matters. Our patients deserve better.
Don’t think too much about the past, that leads to depression. Don’t think too much about the future that causes anxiety. Live in the present moment cause you never value it til it’s a memory. Positive vibes I’m sending out to everyone love y’all 💜
