Last month, I had a chance to meet with the men’s @usabasketball team before they went to Paris.
So proud of them for bringing home the gold! Shout out to legends @KingJames, @StephenCurry30, and @KDTrey5.
When you are so happy that NC Medicaid is going to cover #obesity medications for teens that you call your non-medical parents who do not live in NC and who do not have obesity to tell them the good news. https://t.co/5XCN1Y69OW
@NeilFlochMD Obesogenic food environment + genetics+ altered microbiome are definitely the leading variables - I also agree Dr Floch…in my humble opinion 💯
Big fan of @AniaJastreboff. Prioritize rx obesity in newly dx T2D. “Why do we treat all downstream effects & ignore root cause?” “Treat early. Treat BEFORE the problems occur!” “Treating obesity has a secret weapon of ADHERENCE” “Stop just using bandaids!” #ADASciSessions

Protein and strength training that’s my motto for longevity and metabolic health 💪 I have tracked weight management patients with the amazing SECA body composition and now with DEXA and Sarcopenia is a real issue.

Honored to have presented today @ACDiabetology on updates to anti obesity medication! We are treating a #diabesity pandemic: Prevention, education and a comprehensive approach is needed to lead patients to long term success !
I recommended Celebrate Meal replacement to many of my patients and now I am questioning continuing to do so…we are entering dangerous territory where even our healthy eating platforms are promoting compounded medications 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ @MichaelAlbertMD@DrAngelaFitch
It's hard to teach people about health and the disease of obesity when companies are slinging these bootleg peptides on every street corner and people can get them with a click of a button. It’s a race to the bottom! What a world…
