Prologue to my Hero's Journey: I am a patient diagnosed with RA that was told by my rheumatologist that I'd be on a cocktail of meds for life, diet had nothing to do with my diagnosis, and there was nothing I could do to heal or improve from the disease. Through several personal experiences and reading others, I learned that this is what doctors are taught and what patients are led to believe. I am Ken, a nobody from Canada that thought he was too small to make a difference. My BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) is to eradicate chronic disease and mental illness, improving health outcomes and healthcare systems.

Scientists say we need to cut meat consumption by 75%. Think about that for a second. The food humans have eaten for millennia. The food that provides complete protein, B12, iron, zinc, choline, and highly bioavailable nutrients. That’s the thing they want less of. Not sugary drinks. Not candy. Not breakfast cereals. Not the endless aisles of packaged food. Meat. I find it fascinating that every solution seems to involve ordinary people giving up traditional foods while becoming more dependent on products made in factories. Maybe I’m old fashioned. But when someone tells me steak is the problem and ultra processed food isn’t, I’m going to ask a few questions. Would you cut your meat intake by 75%?

I do think this is true. I agree that there are lots of holes that further research would be very welcome to fill. But the fact that so much professional energy is being used to deny or minimise the issue or blame patients rather than trying to get to the bottom of what is happening and work on solutions (possible without perfect knowledge!) harms the credibility of psychiatry further and undermines faith that patients have in the specialty. The quicker it moves past to minimisation to constructive action the quicker it will re-build it reputation.

Day 3,071 of low carb. The suffering continues. Tonight’s punishment included two 10-ounce beef patties, melted cheese, bacon, and mushrooms. Plus pickle. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

Your miracle has a due date. Your promise has a release date. And your season is coming. 🙌🔥👑

What patients have been doing for longer than psychiatry is willing to talk about… I tapered Cymbalta for 2 1/2 years using the bead counting method. I couldn’t get off any other way. With Lorazepam I cut pills then doc made a 25% dose reduction & boom my CNS exploded.

Doctors, the opportunity has never been better to build your own practice. Not sure where to start? @Mav_Med is launching soon with my exact playbook-full of my biggest mistakes so you don’t have to make them!

Call me extreme but I'll take steak over statins anytime.

Coming soon doctors… I have helped several docs go independent also Making doctoring great again

The annual anti-sun propaganda campaign is about to launch. Here is what you need to know. 1. The sun does not cause cancer. 2.All commercial sunscreen is toxic, including mineral formulations. 3. The sun is one of the most powerful healers available to us. Utilize it in the early morning or late afternoon daily for optimal health. 4. Exposing your eyes and skin to early morning sunlight resets your body's natural clock, known as the circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up refreshed. 5. Ultraviolet rays trigger cholesterol in your skin to produce vitamin D, which is vital for calcium absorption and the maintenance of healthy bone density. 6. Controlled sun exposure is used clinically to manage chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. Do not engage with the false narrative surrounding the sun. As with much of mainstream health information, the scientific consensus on sun exposure has been inverted.

Building Maverick right now — the thing I wish existed when I was clawing my way out of corporate medicine. A path. A playbook. A community. So the next doctor doesn't have to bleed to be free. @mav_med

I keep hearing that red meat is dangerous. Humans have been eating it for hundreds of thousands of years. The obesity epidemic is about 50 years old. Those timelines don’t seem to match.

I'll add this as another health literacy tip through @BillionsHealed. You never commented on whether you would want one of these bracelets or not. 🤠

🚨 The ultra-processed food reckoning is here — and your protein shake might be part of the problem. Isolated protein powders promise muscle & fullness. But they deliver a metabolic dud. Why? They strip away the food matrix — the natural fiber, fats, and compounds that slow digestion, trigger powerful gut peptides (like GLP-1 and PYY), and create true satiety. Result? Fast-absorbing aminos, blood sugar spikes, less fullness, and you’re hungry again soon. Whole foods win. The fix that actually works: Pair quality protein with complex fiber (veggies, berries, oats, beans, sprouted grains). This combo optimizes gut hormone release, steadies energy, and crushes cravings naturally. Your body knows the difference. #GutHealth #ProteinMyths #RealFood

The United States Government is a full on grift machine. Washington has already confiscated trillions from taxpayers. Then it borrowed trillions more against their children. Now the national debt is approaching $40 trillion. Healthcare is still unaffordable. College is still overpriced. Housing is still out of reach. The schools are still failing. All of these problems are due to government interference. And the people who produced this disaster now want Elon Musk’s wealth because they swear this next pile of money will finally be spent wisely. Bullshit. They already took the money. They already spent the money. They already failed. Stealing another trillion from a man who built companies, factories, satellites, cars, and jobs will not make government competent. It will only transfer wealth from the people who create it to the people who incinerate it.

Thank you for helping to improve Health Literacy. Together we can end the chronic disease and mental illness epidemics. cc: @billions

“My sweet Vincent. Was such a healthy boy when he was born. No complications, fast and somewhat easy labor. We were so happy for him to be apart of our family. He was our third child and second son. Everything was going great until I took him to get his 2 month & He was already a little bit under the weather as it just turned Fall. He was 99 degrees with a little cough but the doctor assured us he was just fine. The day after he had a fever spike over 100 degrees and every time he coughed he sounded like he was choking and gagging and would turn bright red in the face. I called the doctors and they said just give him some Tylenol and if that doesn't keep his fever down then bring him in. Well Tylenol seemed to work so we thought he was okay... Fast forward a week later, he seemed to have recovered completely and we were back to living our lives until the morning I woke up at 6:30am and woke up to him passed away. I'll never forget looking at him first and thinking he was still sleeping...I even cuddled him and didn't think anything was wrong until I looked at his face and noticed that there was foaming bubbles coming out of his nose. His body was stiff and cold and my heart just dropped That morning replays in my head everyday and unfortunately l'Il always live with it. A year has gone by now and my heart still aches *His autopsy report came back as undetermined with a diagnosis of cerebral and pulmonary edema. From my understanding, in order for something to be listed as a diagnosis it has to be pretty substantial apart from the natural fluid distribution that happens after death...cerebral edema is a side effect of the Dtap. I told Vincent's doctor about what happened and his report and he said "I'm so sorry for your loss, make sure you report this to VAERS" (Shared from Vincent’s mom)

This isn't "5D chess" or any other weak excuse. The CDC, under the Trump administration, putting millions of American infants and adults at an elevated risk of death, disability, and injury will not "Make America Healthy Again." $735,720,598.00 just awarded to Pfizer by the CDC for infant COVID shots. Another $505,272,000.00 awarded for adult vaccines. As it is, seven million American children have been given a COVID shot since Trump took office. If a terrorist organisation, Iran, or anyone other than Pfizer was endangering Americans like this, he would have threatened them with nuclear annihilation by now. But don't worry, there's some fuzzy pictures of UFOs and aliens to keep you distracted.
