In 2026, 1 in 10 Americans are on weight-loss drugs.

But they are affecting the American economy in ways no one expected.

I lived dangerously by writing an essay on the Falklands when I was studying Argentine history at night school in Buenos Aires. I am still too ill and woozy to recreate my argument as coherently as I'd like. But here are a few scattered points. 1/

A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.

He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.

His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.

"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.

The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵

Every pound you lose takes 4 pounds of pressure off your knees and 6 pounds off your hips.

A 5% reduction in body weight can result in a 50% reduction in joint pain.

Many people think they have knee or hip issues when it's a weight issue.

If you are on iron - after taking a tablet you cannot absorb anymore iron for ~36 hours

Optimal dose =

one tablet

every day
or
every other day

Depending on tolerance & if short / long term treatment.

Higher doses are not absorbed & cause GI side effects.

"I'm going to insist on getting an MRI." How many of you have said this? Sometimes your doctor doesn't order one or tries to convince you otherwise. Why is that? Hint: It's not because we don't care about you.

One of the most deeply held beliefs in musculoskeletal medicine is that osteoarthritis is a “wear and tear” condition—that joints crumble under the onslaught of gravity and use and abuse.

NOPE.

This is your retirement & insurance plan.

Muscle mass decreases approximately 3-8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60.

Studies show that an 80 year old who lifts weights regularly is as strong as a 30 year old who doesn’t.

I’dd rather be the oldest person in the gym than the youngest person in the nursing home.

Stare lifting weights so you can reap the rewards now and later on.
