Healthcare is overrun with companies that perform clever accounting exercises rather than change anything fundamental about the care we deliver. And we celebrate the heck out of them. How do we stop being gaslighted and gaslighting ourselves and raise the bar?

Could it be that only 5-7% of individuals with mental health conditions in the U.S. receive highly effective treatment? Let that sink in. Our medical system is failing to deliver effective evidence-based, solutions to millions of people that are relying on it for care. Harvard

Don't Die Certified will be the world's largest and most trusted repository of clean food. Foods will be tested for nutritional label accuracy, heavy metals, agrochemicals and microplastics. That data will then be on an updated food label. We'll do restaurant certification too.

Our new paper shows Randomized trials of SSRIs run for 8 wks but people take them 8 years. This is an evidence based disaster. We have no idea what the effect is 8 yrs later. Secretary Kennedy

Imagine having depression for no clear reason and also undiagnosed B12 or iron deficiency—treatable causes of depression—only to be told by a therapist that it must be unresolved trauma, because that’s the “universal” explanation for mental illness. It's 2025, we can do better!

'The median duration of antidepressant use in the United States was approximately 5 years (260 weeks), while the median trial duration was 8 weeks (IQR: 6-12 weeks)'. Hence, we lack evidence that long-term use of antidepressants is safe or effective medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Users of SSRI antidepressants have strikingly lower levels of platelet serotonin. This study showed a 14-fold reduction in SSRI users (yes, fourteen-fold: 117 vs 1635 nmol/L.) SSRIs have dramatic chemical impacts on the body. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…

There are countless others who, like me, have been harmed by psych diagnoses and meds— some who realize it, others who don’t (at least, not yet). My personal story is part of a much bigger societal story about the consequences of medicalizing emotional pain and commodifying help.
