Warren Buffett just put $1.6 BILLION into UnitedHealth. Not to fix healthcare. Not to make it cheaper. But to profit from the system exactly as it is, broken, bloated, and impossible to escape. This is anti-American behavior. 1/

40% of the food industry in this country has taken the pledge to remove synthetic dyes from their products. Republicans and Democrats have been trying to do this for over 20 years. This finally happened because of your leadership, @POTUS.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump is flanked by MAJOR sports legends and athletes, along with Secretary RFK Jr. as he plans to now re-add the Presidential Fitness Test to schools, and to expand on his council on sports, fitness and nutrition. Trump to linebacker Lawrence Taylor: "You look good, you could play right now!" 🤣 MAHA is ON A ROLL.

To be mentored by Dr. Jamie Van Gompel—one of the most visionary, kind-hearted, and inspiring neurosurgeons I’ve ever met—has been the true privilege of my life. This post means the world to me, but being part of his team meant even more. Thank you for guiding not just my career, but also our family. @JamieVanGompel @MayoClinicNeuro @MayoClinic #Neurosurgery #Mentorship #ForeverGrateful

President Trump: “I can’t speak more highly of any individual than Elon Musk… He’s an incredible, brilliant guy. A wonderful person.. He’s saved us almost $200 billion, and rising fast.. He loves our country. He doesn’t need to do this.”

As a medical scientist I consider all possible explanations when interpreting or assessing any finding, result, etc. Starting with the simplest and most likely explanation, her case is: above average health/well-being/sleep/lifestyle + unusual genetics (for example, exceptionally long telomeres). Also, happy for her but how will her reinvention help those who can’t afford medical insurance or are insured but might as well not be due to our incredibly inefficient, dysfunctional health care system.
She’s reinventing the science of aging. Meet Julie Clark: the 56-year-old whose biological age clocks in at 36. She’s outpacing Bryan Johnson, the $2M-a-year biohacker, on a mere $4/day. Here's her simple anti-aging routine for peak health and lasting longevity: 🧵

Huge thanks to @JPGK_MD & Dr. Wang of @UMneurosurgery for inviting me on the pod to share this passion project of my co-inventor @MichaelKogan20 & myself, partnering with @EladLevyMD to implement an effective ARCS calculator so we can #stopthearmsrace in publications.
Another Match come and gone, and is it just us, or do those publication lists keep getting longer, and longer, and loooonger? Well, @bowersbrainsurg decided to do something about it! Don't miss this discussion of his work in developing the ARCS calculator: youtube.com/watch?v=QfOzG87K… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… open.spotify.com/episode/36Z… Find the published description of the ARCS here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3996… Find the ARCS calculator itself here: arcscalculator.com/ Find the ARCS TikTok series here: tiktok.com/t/ZT2EC5jfF/
