The whole body MRI thing is controversial for obvious reasons. It’s costly & there are a lot of false positives. But I have neurosurgeon friends who tell me they do life-saving surgeries *every month* b/c people got full body MRI merely b/c they curious & found operable issues.
Still hurts. Mom cried all day that day. 13 year old memories still feel fresh now 40 years down range #nasa
You’ll never hear a room full of rowdy teenagers fall silent as fast as my 12th grade science class did as we watched the Space Shuttle Challenger explode on live TV. 🚀
#GenX carries the trauma from that one.
40 years later, it still hurts. 💔
I cringe at my younger years when "what to eat" was not at the center of my digestive (gastrointestinal) health recommendations.
How What You Eat Affects Cancer Risk
(unsurprisingly I field a lot of dietary questions as a GI oncologist; while the field of nutritional epidemiology is rife with hard-to-reproduce studies , I thought this article was a fair summary ✅ ☕️) nytimes.com/2026/01/27/well/… via @NYTimes
Better late than never. You don’t have to poison yourself or your kids . It’s not that hard. #guthealth #foodpyramid
For years, we were all taught to eat the same way. Carbs at the base. Fats at the top. Eggs somewhere in the middle… if at all. But if you’ve ever felt confused about nutrition or wondered why “doing everything right” still didn’t feel right.. you’re not imagining it.
In this video, I break down the old food pyramid vs the new food pyramid and explain why nutrition advice has shifted so much over time. Great work @HHSGov

Medicine is the science by which we learn the various states of the body; in health, when not in health; the means by which health is likely to be lost; and, when lost, is likely to be restored. In other words, it is the art whereby health is concerned and the art by which it is restored after being lost

The people I admire most have a way of escaping the bubble of modern culture. Some via religion, some via old books, some via time in nature. Without such an escape, propaganda wins. You stop thinking for yourself. Modern delusions grow into an all-consuming mind virus.
Over 1000 members strong and growing! #tsge2025 @TexasGastros

One little step at a time. #gotexan
How many things can most all of us agree on? It starts with this. #maha
The food industry can no longer say the "FDA deems petroleum-based dyes SAFE" - that era is OVER and a new era is beginning - one of radical transparency, in which the food industry can't hide! Looking forward to more changes at the FDA soon ❤️#FoodBabeArmy #MAHA
Thank you @annakooiman and @NewsNation for having me on this segment.
While many work in the trenches to help the diseased or symptomatic every day, it is humbling to measure the impacts of citizen activists like @thefoodbabe and what a few number of dedicated people have been doing to move mountains regarding American health and nutrition at large:
Over 20% of all SNAP dollars are used to purchase soda, candy, desserts, and other junk food items, which is projected to total $240 billion over the next decade. utahpolicy.com/news-release/…
#Colonoscopy is the only test that prevents #ColonCancer. if you choose to catch cancer early with a stool test or blood test, just remember you've got to survive the surgery and the chemo.
