voters often say they support mass deportations in theory—until they have to think about the actual people being deported. our research keeps proving it: cruelty only polls well in the abstract. make it real, and support crumbles

The human brain:
—had 7-30 times more accumulation of microparticles (MPs) than the liver or kidney (organs with previously documented high propensity)
—from people with dementia had 5X accumulation of MPs compared with non-dementia
—there was a marked increase of accumulation over recent years

What’s your take on lifestyle medicine? Have you made changes that transformed your health? Can food be medicine? If you could reverse chronic disease with lifestyle changes, would you? @DeanOrnishMD says it’s not only possible—but scientifically proven. And ozempic and GLP1 drugs are not the only answer.

In our latest episode of Second Opinion, @azenooz and I sat down with the pioneer of lifestyle medicine to discuss his groundbreaking research showing that heart disease, diabetes, and even early-stage Alzheimer’s can be stopped—or even reversed—with changes in diet, stress, exercise, and social connection.

🚀 Biggest Takeaways from Dr. Ornish:
🔹 “Bypass surgery is literally bypassing the problem.” Instead of treating symptoms, why not treat the root cause?
🔹 “Eat well, move more, stress less, and love more.” A simple prescription that can radically improve health.
🔹 “It’s not just about living longer—it’s about living better.” Quality of life matters.

💡 And the kicker? Dr. Ornish’s studies show that the more you change, the more you improve—from heart disease to cognitive function. The science is there. The question is: Are we ready to rethink medicine?

Back in North Carolina! Great fun to give the Pearsall Lecture at @DukeU today!!! Duke is an amazing institution with integration of science, engineering, medicine and the humanities! The integration is catalytic—exemplified best by the @MLBeckerGroup! @Carbon https://t.co/dHNCHbvRYQ

Delighted to see NEW COLD WARS on the NYT list of 17 nonfiction books coming this Spring. “A deeply reported account” of how the U.S. got to this point of confrontation with two superpowers, each posing very different chalkenges.

We always talk about a cure for cancer but, if I’m doing my math right, we should be 16x more excited when we prevent it altogether!

A lot of health-tech companies are shutting down.

Reminder: This is not a reason for celebration. It's the opposite. It is reli hard to raise money rn. Employees are losing jobs. Founders are wrestling with some tough decisions. Patients are losing access to services they love.
