I wish it hadn’t come to this, but at this point, I’m not sure people learn from their voting choices unless they experience some degree of suffering. Many will be gaslit into blaming ā€œthe other sideā€ for their pain—but for others, the reality will hit when it becomes personal: a

If I were ever asked to serve as an expert witness in a lawsuit concerning the medical necessity of combining GLP-1 medications with vitamins, I could make a compelling case that such a combination is both unnecessary and clinically unjustified. If a patient has a documented

Interestingly, two independent AI models estimated that Novo and Lilly could produce 5 to 10 times their current drug volumes if they operated under the same level of regulatory scrutiny as 503B outsourcing facilities. Don't take my word for it; ask one yourself.

If we erode the nonprofit foundations of science, what’s left is a system where only for-profit companies drive research. That’s a dangerous imbalance.

ā€œBig Beautiful Billā€ (a ridiculous name, by the way) will strip millions of Americans of their health insurance. We know that expanding Medicaid under the ACA saved lives. This bill would reverse that progress. It’s not hyperbole to say: this is a bill that will kill people.

Can someone explain how advertising a compounded medication qualifies as "personalized" care? It seems indistinguishable from mass production—especially when it's marketed broadly. At that point, you're not tailoring treatment to individuals; you're manufacturing demand.

Science is how we figure out how the world works. If you’re not interested in that process, maybe don’t weigh in on how the world works. But if you are... Then fight for science that’s rigorous, honest, and well-funded. Because defunding science isn’t just neglect. It’s

Probably my most controversial post yet—off-label, speculative, and worth the conversation. We used to think longevity was all about luck and genetics. Now we know it’s just as much about inflammation and environment—and that’s where GLP-1s, the so-called ā€œweight loss drugs,ā€

As the laws are currently written—lacking foresight for the realities of modern healthcare entrepreneurship—there’s a regulatory gray zone that allows individuals with no medical background to launch telehealth companies that function essentially as online pharmacies. These
