Myth: "Taking a GLP-1 is the easy way out."
Fact: Treating obesity with science-backed care is no different than treating any other chronic condition. Stigma keeps people from getting support that could change their health.

Women are 33% more likely than men to visit the doctor. Twice as likely for preventive care. (CDC)
Coverage alone isn't the answer if it wasn't built for the people least likely to use it. ๐
Healthcare workers take care of everyone else. It's time their employers take care of them. @TomBrady and I built something special, and @HR_Brew is calling it a potential "differentiator" for the industry. ๐ https://t.co/BaEZ0iODJN
Womenโs health week is here.
This week is your reminder to check in with your body, your mind, and your health.
Start small. Stay consistent.
It matters more than you think.
๐๏ธeMed Health Population CEO @lindayaX is now leading the charge at an up and coming GLP-1 player that just scored a big capital raise and has NFL legend @TomBrady as its founding chief wellness officer.
But, the time she spent rebuilding @elonmusk's X offered up a moment of reflection when we sat down on my Power Players podcast on @YahooFinance:
โWhen I first started [at X], I used to say that it was a career opportunity of a lifetime. And then I was there a couple of weeks and I dropped the career part and I said, it's just an opportunity of a lifetime. And again, I go back to my time of what we did, of repositioning the platform to become the global town square. And I say for the world, it was like turning a light bulb on and in a dark room. And, and so who wouldn't want to be part of that? But as you know, it was at a very tumultuous time. Transformation is always messy. And when it's messy, people that you think you've known your whole career or people that you've done business with, it takes them a little while to warm up to what you're doing. So that's why even those relationships that I talked about mattered most,โ Yaccarino said.
Tasked with stabilizing a platform in turmoil, Yaccarino is credited with modernizing Xโs business operations, spearheading the expansion of video features and digital wallet services, and working tirelessly to bring back advertisers.

22 million healthcare workers help keep this country healthy. Nurses are at the center of that care.
This Nurses Week, weโre celebrating the nurses and clinical professionals who deliver care everyday.
@eMedHealth is headed to @MilkenInstitute! We'll be taking the stage at the Milken Institute Global Conference May 3โ6, joining the world's most influential leaders to shape the future of workforce health.
Healthcare professionals keep everyone else healthy. It's time someone did the same for them. @EBNbenefitnews covers how eMed and @TomBrady are making that happen. https://t.co/rV4H1d3lz8
A healthy workforce is a business imperative. Today, @eMedHealth Chief Wellness Officer @TomBrady launched an exclusive GLP-1 program for healthcare workers - $25/covered life/month, end-to-end clinical oversight included. Built to give back to the workforce that keeps everyone else going.
April doesnโt reflect intention, it reveals behavior.
Employers that focus on consistency, not just sign-ups, are the ones that see measurable impact.

Big news at eMed.
We've raised $200M at a $2B+ valuation.
GLP-1s are one of the most powerful medical advances in humanity's history. But they only work when people stay on them.
AI-powered. Clinically guided. Outcomes-focused.
We are just getting started.
Donโt leave health to luck. ๐
The eMed GLP-1 program begins with screening that helps guide appropriate prescribing and responsible access. We're built to help employers manage GLP-1 access while supporting their employee health.
At @SXSW, @mcuban and I shared that @eMedHealth and @costplusdrugs are working together to give eMed members access to GLP-1s through the Cost Plus Drugs Affiliate Pharmacy Network. Transparent pricing + a system designed for results. This is healthcare disruption.
