Daily problem in cardiology

Wellness influencers are not following the science

Trust the science!!

Post 1/5
I'm a cardiologist. TikTok is going to get someone killed.
I'm not being dramatic. I'm not being old-fashioned. I am watching patients arrive in my office repeating advice from 15-second videos — advice that is not just wrong but actively dangerous.
Last month a patient told me she stopped her statin because a wellness influencer said it was "toxic." Her LDL was 210. She has a family history of early heart attack.
Last week a patient in his 40s told me he wasn't worried about his cholesterol because he "eats clean and exercises." His Lp(a) — completely genetic, immune to lifestyle — was sky-high. He'd never been tested.
These aren't hypothetical scenarios. These are people I care about making decisions based on content created for engagement, not evidence.
Let me walk through the most dangerous myths circulating right now — and what the science actually says.

@gorski_lion @NorthShoreNine Swing for the home run, rather then put the ball in play and manufacture some runs

@90syankskid This is awesome!

Reform needed STAT

This is not why anyone went into medicine. EHR should help us but not inflict so much pain. We risk losing physicians and we are seeing that a lot more than we should.

@90syankskid @YESNetwork This is awesome! Extremely jealous you got to meet him!

[rwilsonMD @Ryan_WilsonMD]

@90syankskid Is there going to be an increased focus on fundamentals — defense - base running - putting the ball in play…..given the Blue Jays success with playing small ball is there any change in philosophy to cut down on strike outs

@DrTedMaglioneEP @RutgersRWJcards @RWJMS @ppsengupta1 @YanamalaNaveena @jmclark_md Congrats!

Sad what happens in healthcare behind closed doors. Makes it so hard to do our job caring for people

New analysis shows UnitedHealth, Cigna, and Elevance tightening control through mass physician expulsions, downcoding, & vertical integration
