Could your org or cancer center be next? 🎉
I'm looking to bring live Q&As and talks on patient advocacy to communities near you — for patients, caregivers, and healthcare pros.
These photos are from my book launch in Clearwater last month.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is show up, pay attention, and be genuinely interested in the person in front of you.
The connection doesn't need a destination to be worth making.
Open the door. See who walks through.

This has quietly been a miracle month in medicine.
In the last 5 weeks we’ve got news on:
- retatrutide, the triple agonist GLP-1 from Lilly, basically melting fat and body-wide inflammation at record levels
- RevMed’s new pancreatic cancer drug showing unprecedented abilities to extend life
- small trial of a one-and-done PCSK9 gene editing therapy for slashing LDL cholesterol
- Mayo’s AI-assisted radiology showing vastly improved cancer detection
- this new therapy for metastatic solid tumors
This stuff is at varying levels of evidence. Retatrutide is ~100% on its way, other stuff needs more clinical trial data. But put it together and we’re maybe on the verge of majorly reducing the mortality of heart disease and cancer, the two leading causes of death in America.
After 11 years with @Ask_Spectrum and I have to return my equipment only to have the UPS Store printer not working and now waiting in line for 20 minutes at their store. You would think ending service should be easier than this.

#Kuwait 🇰🇼: Journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been detained for 6 weeks now. He must be freed immediately. Journalism is not a threat. Documenting the war is in the public interest. A world where journalists are turned into targets is not a free world

Hard to believe #HOPA2026 was just a few weeks ago... we're looking back at some of the highlights! Friday included our moving and motivating keynote address by @fumikochino and the first-ever live recording of the #HOPANow🎙️ podcast
This is an excuse to attack journalism and to prevent the truth. The State Department must act and demand our ally Kuwait release Ahmed now.
Talked to @cnni’s @IsaCNN about the detention of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin by Kuwait.

@BuffyBoonswogle@ralphgardner48@MAGANEWS_X When it's because of your position in office and making decisions based on who gives your businesses money, yes, God forbid. You've obviously never taken a course in politics.
