@EllenDeGeneres recently shared that she was diagnosed with #osteoporosis and no, this doesn’t mean she is a “human sandcastle who will dissolve in the shower!” She is still a #strongwoman! Let’s support each other and stay #StrongerForLonger 💙💪🌟

Big thanks to Connie Weaver for her outstanding presentation at our grand rounds today. At @UCSDHealth #endocrinology, we’re all about advancing high-quality nutrition research and education. Keep up the great work, Connie, and we hope to have you back soon. #nutritionresearch

A stellar presentation by 🌟 UCSD #Endocrinology fellow Dr. Rita Lis 🚀 on #Bone Health in Space! We learned how to protect our bone health during our future out-of-this-world travels 🛸

Fantastic review of emerging indications for GLP1 therapy by ⁦@UCSDHealth⁩ #endocrinology fellow Dr. Jessica Hansen! From CVD, CKD, & MAFLD to potentially even benefits for #bonehealth. Exciting data and lots of questions still to be answered. ⁦⁦@ucsdim⁩ 👏👏👏

The US is facing a critical shortage of #Endocrinologists. The pipeline is dwindling. To quote @LouiseAronson, we have a "distribution of specialists out of line with societal needs." This calls for creative solutions. The system may not value us, but we know our worth!

I was pleased to see this Lily ad addressing access to medications for #diabetes and #obesity. So frustrating to not be able to deliver these effective therapies to our patients who need them!

[Gina Woods @ginawoodsmd]

On #InternationalWomensDay2024, I am reminded that the majority of US #endocrinologists are women, and @UCSDhealth endocrinology is no different. We 🩷 working with so many amazing women, and of course we 🩵our male colleagues, too! #WomenInMedicine #Diversityinmedicine

Our very own ⁦@UCSDHealth⁩ #endocrinologist Dr. Preethika Ekanayake explains Amy Schumer’s diagnosis, Cushing’s syndrome. Well done, Dr. E! https://t.co/UiH1v8dlAP

I’m thrilled to learn about the new Complex Clinical Challenges series in @The_JBMR! My clinical work is informed regularly by the fantastic science of @ASBMR and I hope that our clinical cases will inform your science in return. Kudos to the clinicians in this case!

I’m looking forward to the International Symposium on Nutritional Aspects of Musculoskeletal Health right here in Coronado. This is the stuff my patients want to know!! https://t.co/li1zmiPjXb

[Gina Woods @ginawoodsmd]

@BoneJointJ @ammommx After you fix this, please refer for treatment of the underlying #osteoporosis!

[Gina Woods @ginawoodsmd]

Enjoyed discussing the medical mindset model as a framework for assessing patient values and preferences when selecting #osteoporosis treatments on Bone Health ECHO this week, with my colleague @jennaleesw. (Credit to book authors, Drs. Hartzband & Groopman)

@MichalLaurent11 @Dr_Boabrahamsen @EvenepoelPieter @etiennecavalier @larsfolkestad @RKJainMD @sfeirjad @elena_tsourdi @FayPapaioanMD @BotcentrumLUMC When was the liver transplant? Transient severe alk phos elevations have been reported following transplantation, both liver (PMID: 23246871) and kidney (PMID: 18675129).

Thank you, Dr. Connie Weaver, for speaking to #Ucsdhealth bone health interest group. Learned a lot! All dairy products and soy milk contain highly bioavailable calcium. 🥛 🦴 What about oat, almond, etc? No data! Need more studies on diet and #osteoporosis

[Gina Woods @ginawoodsmd]

What do folks think of Osteoboost? It’s great to have options. I really wish I could offer my patients easy access to a certified exercise intervention for osteopenia. Exercise does work, if it’s the right exercise! https://t.co/WUlu3vnJf1

What do we know about transitioning from DMAB to ROMO? In 16 women, one year of DMAB followed by one year of ROMO led to further BMD gain at the spine, stable BMD at the hip. That’s all we know! Need more data! Nice JCEM review here👇 https://t.co/5tLyAHVgSD
