The amount of 40 year-old patients out there with high calcium scores is much higher than I ever expected. And frankly speaking, these are largely people that do not have high cholesterol but are more often people who have had lifelong insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Calcium score is an irreplaceable risk stratification tool, please consider one

Early research suggests that some mental health conditions could stem from metabolic disorders. If so, the findings could change how we treat mental illness spklr.io/6018E3mEI

This month, three physicians, one chiropractor, and the parents of two physicians joined Toward Health as patients. It is difficult to fully describe what that means. When colleagues in health care recognize the work deeply enough to entrust us with their own care, and then bring their families, parents, and colleagues into the practice, it is profoundly meaningful. It reflects more than growth. It reflects trust in our mission, confidence in our model, and belief in the value of what we are building at Toward Health.

Let me help you turn “I need to get healthy” into a real vision for your life. They want you sick. They want you coming back like an addict to their ultra-processed food products. They want your kids hooked early. They care about your money and your momentary pleasure, even if it costs you the most precious thing you have. Your time on this earth. Time living free. Time living healthy. Time living without chronic disease. Wake the fuck up. This is not about a diet. This is not about a cleanse. This is not about a motivational phase. This is about your lifestyle. You have been fighting an invisible war against your metabolism since the day you were born. And while food companies build the cage, their messengers tell you to keep consuming the same products that made you sick. “Everything in moderation,” of course. Stop blaming yourself for a system designed to profit from your cravings, your confusion, your sickness, and your silence. The cage was invisible. Now you see it. Rant over.

Do I eat keto ice cream? Yes, on occasion. Did @WomansWorldUS embellish a little bit? Yes, on occasion. Still had a blast talking to them for this piece. womansworld.com/posts/health…

At some point you will have to wake up and realize you have been fundamentally manipulated, by government, industry & indoctrination. If you have severe obesity or diabetes… Multiple small meals, portion control, counting calories, ❤️healthy grains & vegetable oil are a LIE

There are a plethora of problems—from education to patient care—that are currently plaguing medicine. Dr. Laura Buchanan shares her own personal frustrating experience trying to help patients in the context of a medical system that is set up not to reverse or prevent disease, but to treat disease.

There are side effects to ketgoenic diets. Carbohydrate deficiency causes rapid decreases in body measurements, such as waist size, blood pressure and a1c. Be careful before you change your lifestyle for good... fad diets are not sustainable... except when they rapidly change your life and you never want to go back...

People talk about gratitude and everyone knows it’s nice to be grateful, but it doesn’t have any real impact on our physical health, right? WRONG! Ben Azadi (@THEBENAZADI)--the prophet of VITAMIN G (aka Gratitude)--tells us why Gratitude is the daily supplement that EVERYONE who cares about longevity and metabolic health should be taking.

Scientific research supports the efficacy of ketogenic diets in weight management and metabolic health. Several studies have shown that ketogenic diets significantly reduce hunger and food intake, likely due to the increased production of ketone bodies, stable glycemia and altered levels of appetite-regulating hormones. Likewise studies have shown that intermittent fasting can lead to substantial weight loss and improved metabolic markers, such as insulin sensitivity and lipid profiles.

Moreover, combining these dietary strategies with regular physical activity can enhance their effectiveness. Exercise has been shown to synergize with ketogenic diets and intermittent fasting by further improving insulin sensitivity, promoting fat loss, and preserving lean muscle mass. Integrating these lifestyle changes can provide a holistic and sustainable approach to weight management and metabolic health, reducing the reliance on medications and highlighting the power of dietary and behavioral modifications in achieving lasting health outcomes. Bottom line, while these medications are amazing compared to prior classes of medications, they should be employed when lifestyle and diet regimens fail. Work aggressively and persistently with your healthcare teams and demand lifestyle first.
