@RishiSunak @10DowningStreet @healthyopinion looks a lot like the NHS 70 years video.

#Wegovy was launched today in the UK for the treatment of #obesity. Thanks to .@TimesRadio for inviting me to discuss what the medication is & how it works. Really important that it’s used with a supported behaviour change programme, @getnuman & that’s it’s clinically indicated

Thanks for having me @FattyLiverA ED a potentially important early warning sign for deranged lipids that could lead to NAFLD #prevention #liverhealth #liver #Menshealth

[FattyLiverAlliance @FattyLiverA]

Erectile Dysfunction may be a less commonly known sign of fatty liver disease. Today we met with Dr. @lukepratsides, A GP in the UK, who works with Numan, and specializes in Men's Health.

Erectile Dysfunction, may be due to a lack of blood flow, due to high-cholesterol and fatty deposits. "ED is a 3-5 year predictor of a heart attack or stroke". "People that have that kind of high cholesterol, also often end up having NAFLD, as part of a wider condition known as Metabolic Syndrome, that combination of abnormal lipids, high blood pressure, and resistance to insulin. That combination can cause not only cause issues like fatty liver, but erectile dysfunction as well."

Fat build up in the liver, could also impact testosterone, which could also lead to erectile dysfunction.

Well established risks for NAFLD and NASH are obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and now erectile dysfunction too, should be considered. For lean patients, who might not seem at risk for fatty liver disease, this may be a risk factor that leads to liver assessment.

@EvidenceMatters you’re quite right. There are also some celebrity GPs out there that seem to want to weaponise the GMC & GDC processes because they don’t understand the difference between different regulatory remit of MHRA, CQC ASA etc

[Numan @getnuman]

Wegovy is nearly here.

And no one knows more about it than @lukepratsides, our Lead GP here at Numan.

Yesterday he discussed the benefits, how it works, and much more with Vanessa Feltz live on TalkTV, Radio One’s Newsbeat, and ITV news.

💡 In 1942, 8 hours of sleep was the norm. Today, people get an average of 6.8.

New research and the $411B toll this costs the US each year has people finally "waking up" to its importance.

Think the meditation industry is big?
