Increased consumption of hyper-palatable (aka addictive) processed foods + advances in technology (i.e. cars, TV, computers, etc) that have led to decreased movement = increase in obesity and other chronic disease. Our behaviors are killing us (literally).

ā€œIn 2012, up to 45% of deaths from heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes were directly attributed to poor diet.ā€ I imagine this number is even greater today! Let’s embrace #foodasmedicine and utilize this intervention in our clinical practice. dhinsights.org/news/food-as-m…

A med spa in my area is advertising Ozempic as a ā€œskinny shotā€ and I’m frankly annoyed by this considering I have many patients with diabetes who actually need this medication aren’t able to get it 😔 I also don’t agree with medication for weight loss (except in some rare cases)

What a horrible, terrible lie. More than 80% of chronic disease is lifestyle related and can be prevented, treated, and even reversed with #LifestyleMedicine

I decided to remove regular alcohol consumption from my life after learning about the true health detriments (and deciding I genuinely care about my long term health). I have never felt better! I highly recommend the Huberman Lab Podcast on this topic for those interested!

I hate this for Jalen Hurts. He was the best player on the field. If ever a player from the losing team deserved Super Bowl MVP - happened once before - Jalen Hurts deserves Super Bowl MVP.
