Interesting perspective. 👇 Real-world practice suggests the opposite: imaging volumes keep increasing, not decreasing. Although there is certainly a lot of unnecessary imaging performed, the fact that it is still carried out indicates that it fulfills a need beyond appropriateness use guidelines. https://t.co/h5RQ0fIz4h
Negative relationships may accelerate biological aging. In a new study, each additional “hassler” - someone who often causes problems or makes life difficult - was linked to ~1.5% faster aging and ~9 extra months of biological age. The catch: this showed up...
You spend years training to make complex clinical decisions, only to spend your days trapped inside a system that refuses to apply basic common sense. We have optimized healthcare for metrics, throughput, and standardized protocols. The goal was to eliminate individual...
Are you pro-bodyoid or anti-bodyoid? For the purpose of this poll, a bodyoid is: a newborn clone of you lacking a cortex, a.k.a. a brainless clone, gestated by a paid surrogate. It's organs are a perfect match (isogenic) to you...

Woah. I'm slightly embarrassed that I missed this for a few weeks. Finally there is approval, in a Large Nation, for a stem cell-based REPLACEMENT therapy for an age-related condition. The condition is, no surprise, Parkinson's, which I always highlight...
The oral contraceptive is well tolerated by some women. My point is you need full informed consent.
Dynamics of blood NAD and glutathione in health, disease, aging and under NAD-booster treatment “In healthy population (n=299;18-70 year-olds) redox metabolites follow normal distribution in blood and remain unchanged during aging. NAD-boosting increased 4-6 fold the blood NAD+ depending on individual,...

I had three patients on my schedule today with “SI joint pain”; two were evals. After dry needling specific trigger points in the gluteus medius muscle, their symptoms completely resolved with post treatment testing. I think “SIJ dysfunction” is largely...
Great point. They say they lose money on Medicare and Medicaid. But they know the fixed costs are still going to cost them money when those beds are empty. And they will still be paying doctors , nurses...
Most hospitals don't know their costs. Things I've asked for that made them roll their eyes : A BOM for surgeries P&L for each insurance carrier P&L for Medicaid or Medicare business Why do they need consultants for everything. ...
I like this idea. How about Autism Support Month? Or maybe Autism Understanding Month? Some things that are desperately needed: -Funding for services -More availability of early parent coaching -More (free)?training for educators -Wider accommodations for adults -Fewer barriers to diagnosis and/or pre-diagnosis therapies -Less preying...
New study has strengthened link between infectious mono and Multiple Sclerosis. By analyzing 2 decades of health records, researchers found people who contracted mono as teenagers or adults were 3x more likely to develop MS later vs those who didn’t https://t.co/6DLZMEWyU6
A large fraction of the time, doctors are primarily gatekeepers between me and a treatment or test I want prescribed. So yes, a 60 second appointment is great.
As a medical school professor, I tell students exercise is medicine. But a new study shows the TYPE of exercise determines whether your brain grows new neurons. Researchers compared treadmill running vs. coordination exercises at matched intensity. Published in Frontiers in Neuroscience: ->...

NEW: Trump admin is making it easier for Medicare Advantage plans to grab bonus $$ from star ratings. It'll cost taxpayers $18.6B over the next decade (more than the $13.2B originally expected). Will MA plans continue to cry poor? https://t.co/LPJsvb1Kck
I’ve heard people say the HealthCare gov rescue in 2013 was improvised. I was there. I watched it happen. It wasn't improvised at all.
The expressed rationale for SEIU's proposed wealth tax is to replace the roughly $20b / yr in Medicaid $$ the federal govt recently stripped from CA. Maybe instead of enacting yet another tax, which is already driving our ~most productive residents...

What if your doctor handed you a report… and it was no more meaningful than a horoscope? That’s the uncomfortable reality we’re facing right now in longevity medicine. When clinicians use unvalidated, non-actionable tests, they are replacing evidence-based medicine with something that...
A few years ago, we were all talking about healthcare navigation as the ultimate solution for a broken system. But then the hype cooled. Why? Navigation 1.0 was built on a model that was too human-heavy, too fragmented, and too focused...
Traditional healthcare is truly losing the battle of convenience. Consumer health is the real competition. Not other health systems.
There's so many observations here: - This is the "check a box" era of medicine - These companies do not need to raise much VC b/c the development cost is near zero - Pick the prescription, target the user, simplify the process,...
As a medical school professor, I teach that autophagy -- the body's cellular recycling system -- is one of the most powerful defenses against aging and disease. Now the first-ever human clinical trial proves a fasting mimicking diet activates it. Cedars-Sinai and...
And here’s a 30 second ad against every Republican in the country. Trump ran on protecting Medicare and Medicaid, he’s now explicit that Iran war spending means those programs must be cut.
Founder Diaries Day 2 - About feeling less alone. Community. Something I feel very strongly about while building MYRESET — treatment alone is not enough. Especially for weight loss. It can be quite scary… injections, side effects, all the unknowns. Yes, doctor support matters. But honestly,...
As a medical school professor, I teach students that Alzheimer's has many risk factors. But this one is invisible -- and almost nobody talks about it. A massive study of 27.8 million Medicare beneficiaries just found that fine particle air pollution...
1/2) New placebo-controlled human randomized controlled trial finds creatine + a specific probiotic is effective in treating depression. The mechanism is fascinating, involving the probiotic increasing creatine transporters in the gut, leading to increased brain energy metabolism. If you're passionate about this...
Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ? All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants...
David Sinclair's lab just reversed infertility in mice that had been infertile for 6 months. They took 16-month-old mice, the equivalent of a woman well past menopause, and made them produce offspring again. The belief has always been that mammals run out...
As a physician today, you are no longer just fighting Dr. Google. You are fighting an entire wellness culture that convinces patients a daily injection can outsmart chronic burnout and sleep deprivation. The modern patient encounter often begins with a specific...
