Chesterton's Fence

[Roger Seheult, MD @RogerSeheult]

No understanding of the purpose of morning light.

Our country despises the science of circadian rhythms.

[Matthew A. Nehs @MatthewNehsMD]

@SecKennedy @DrOzCMS would be great to see MGB and Harvard take the lead on this. Give me a call if I can help. @ChrisPalmerMD might be interested too.

[Matthew A. Nehs @MatthewNehsMD]

We’ve been working on this at the individual level for years. Time to scale it up.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Hospitals should heal people—and that includes the food they serve.

Patients deserve meals made with real, nutritious ingredients that help them recover, not highly processed foods that fuel chronic disease.

That's why @DrOzCMS and I are launching the Make Hospital Food Healthier Pledge. Today, we're calling on hospitals across America to join us and commit to serving REAL, nutritious food to every patient.

Together, we can transform hospital nutrition, improve patient care, and Make America Healthy Again.

Thank you, @Gatorade, for removing artificial FD&C colors and switching to newly @US_FDA–approved plant-based dyes from fruits and vegetables. I urge every food company to follow your lead and join us to Make America Healthy Again.

Good news is that steak is made out of peptides, so no need to supplement

Everyone in the health world right now

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Can’t believe this Michigan orthopedic office has this on the list of diseases

[Matthew A. Nehs @MatthewNehsMD]

This is me on POD1 after adrenalectomy for MACS. Should be all of you.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Processed food kills. EAT REAL FOOD.

[Matthew A. Nehs @MatthewNehsMD]

true indeed - these fix almost everything (with a couple caveats). If you find that sleep, good nutrition, and exercise are not working, a cortisol-producing adrenal tumor should be high on the list. call me.

[Roger Seheult, MD @RogerSeheult]

@_loobyloo @TiredActor Lack of sleep, bad nutrition, lack of exercise are the root causes. Your body was fearfully and wonderfully made and if you don’t take care of it, the natural consequence is going to be disease and death.

Physician (gr. Physiokos, pertaining to Nature)
Surgeon (Latin, chirurgia "Hand Work")
Clinician (Gr. Klinikos, "pertaining to the sickbed")

Provider (novel term c.2015, "thy generator of thy RVU")

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

"The term [provider] should not be used to describe physicians, nor should physicians use it to describe themselves, their team members, or their trainees."

The most important fight of my life isn’t in the ring.

I’m not fighting for a belt. I’m fighting for our health. 

Processed foods are killing us. We have been lied to and we need to eat real food again.

A truly phenomenal and inspiring presidential address @BrenessaL @AcademicSurgery #ASC2026

Glad they are finally catching on. This is old news to the endo crowd. the only time that calories are related to mass is when you are doing nuclear chemistry.

The Calorie concept is dead, says the NYTimes. I'm quoted in this article that covers its history and demise. https://t.co/TEAaBMJlyR

Fruit Loops promote endocrine signaling dysfunction

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

The prior dietary guidelines were driven by mercantile interests of the food industry. It was that impulse that drove Froot Loops to the top of the food pyramid. Our new guidelines have one simple message: Eat Real Food.

[Matthew A. Nehs @MatthewNehsMD]

@ChrisPalmerMD Yes!
