The biological reality of obesity doesn’t care about your opinion, Megyn. 🧬👀
This kind of thinking needs to stop.
Let’s talk about @megynkelly recent comments to Oprah Winfrey regarding GLP-1 medications and “food noise.”
While personal anecdotes are great, conflating a singular personal experience with medical science lacks fundamental empathy for what obesity actually is: a complex, biological disease.
Telling someone with severe obesity to “just use willpower” or ignore food noise is the exact medical equivalent of telling an alcoholic to “just have one drink and stop.” It completely ignores how brain chemistry, hormones, and genetics operate.
Let’s call it what it really is: uninformed fat-shaming disguised as tough love. As a doctor, I’m here to tell you that treating a biological issue with modern medicine isn’t a shortcut—it’s healthcare. We need to stop judging patients for using tools that actually fix the underlying biology.
What are your thoughts on how the media talks about GLP-1s? Let’s discuss in the comments.👇

Is your teen actually reaching their full growth potential?
#sponsored @firstday Day
Let’s talk about the massive pubertal growth spurt. During adolescence, the body is working overtime, and three non-negotiables are absolutely required:
1 Zinc: The ultimate driver for cellular
growth and tissue repair.
2 Calcium: The literal building block for
lengthening bones.
3 Vitamin D: The key that unlocks calcium absorption so it can actually do its job.
But before running to the store, two major doctor’s orders need to be followed:
First: Look for third-party testing. The supplement industry can be the Wild West. It a product isn’t third-party tested, there is no quarantee that what’s on the label is actually inside the bottle.
Second: Food and vitamins are not a cure-all. If a teen is experiencing true growth delays or dropping percentiles, a
multivitamin will not fix it. A proper medical evaluation is required to rule out underlying issues.
For healthy teens, think of a daily multivitamin less like a magic pill and more like an insurance policy for picky eaters or busy schedules.
First Day’s Teens Multivitamins are a personal favorite because they hit those crucial nutritional gaps cleanly.

Will the new Congress actually lower your bills? 💸 👀
With the recent elections behind us, all eyes are on Washington. Families are struggling, and the big question is whether lawmakers will actually step up for the poorest among us.
Here is what is on the line right now:
👉 Healthcare Costs: Will they bring back critical health insurance subsidies to keep premiums affordable, or will healthcare costs continue to skyrocket?
👉 Food Affordability: With emergency food lines stretching and grocery bills hitting hard, what is the plan to fix food access and protect basic security?
👉 The Bigger Picture: We cannot just play catch-up. Funding basic research and focusing on preventing preventable diseases before they start is the only way to fix a broken system.
Can Washington deliver real relief, or are we just getting more promises? 🏛️👇
Drop your thoughts in the comments: What is the #1 issue you need Congress to fix right now?

#BreakingNews Measles Crisis: Another Preventable D3ath of a Child.
PLZ VOTE: - RFK Jr is a Public Health Disaster.
The alarming surge in measles cases and the first death in New York State in over 30years is directly linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jrs leadership at HHS.
His trivial actions, such as removing dye from Skittles, are contrasted with the real public health emergency, highlighting that his promises to make America healthier have not been fulfilled.
The preventable nature of this tragedy and the need for accountability are emphasized as we are
experiencing a signiticant outbreak of measles.

⚠️Some of the worst pain ever 😣 Actress @violadavis on Shingles: A Preventable Pain and Its Link to Alzheimer’s
Viola Davis’s experience with shingles is discussed, describing the pain as a nine out of ten and one of the worst she’s ever felt. Shingles is explained as coming from the chickenpox virus hiding in nerve cells and can reactivate later in life, especially after age 50 or during stress. The risks, including eye damage, are highlighted, and it’s emphasized that it’s preventable with the Shingrix vaccine. Studies are also shared showing the vaccine may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 20%.

FDA scientists warned him. He didn’t listen.
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just bypassed career scientists, doctors and the FDA to let compounding pharmacies immediately manufacture and sell six unapproved wellness peptides (including BPC-157, TB-500, and Epitalon).
Let’s be entirely clear about what this is: a victory for unregulated “biohacking” at the absolute expense of public safety. These substances were pulled by the FDA in 2023 for a reason—they lack human clinical trials and carry severe, unknown risks like potential heart toxicity and immune reactions.
Bypassing rigorous, evidence-based science to legalize unapproved injectables is not “medical freedom.” It is dangerous, and it puts patients directly in harm’s way.
We need medicine backed by peer-reviewed data, not political directives.

Rest in Peace Captain. What did Sir Patrick Stewart die from? The legendary actor passed away peacefully at 86, and his family shared that he had been privately living with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.
As a doctor, I want to explain what happens when these two conditions overlap. While we often think of Alzheimer’s affecting memory, Lewy Body Dementia brings unique challenges—including changes in movement, sleep, and visual processing.
Let’s break down the medicine behind these conditions, how they affect the brain, and why the Stewart family is urging support for the Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.

Simple ingredients. Incredible flavor. A little science. And a whole lot of deliciousness!
Join @chefraywhite and Dr. Terry Simpson in the kitchen as they prepare majestic miso soup with perfectly cooked sushi rice. Along the way, they share cooking tips, a few laughs, and a little food science that makes this classic Japanese comfort dish so special.
RECIPE:
Majestic Miso Soup with Sushi Rice
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
Miso Soup
* 4 tablespoons light yellow miso paste
* 6 cups filtered water
* 1 teaspoon dried mushroom powder
* 1½-inch piece unpeeled fresh ginger
* ¼ leek, finely chopped
* 1 package (2 ounces) dried assorted mushrooms
* 1 stick kombu sea vegetable, cut in half
* ½ bunch green onions, chopped
* 1 package extra-firm tofu packed in water
Sushi Rice
* 2 cups sushi rice
* 1 tablespoon mirin
* ¼ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon sugar
Preparation
1. Remove the tofu from its package and drain well. Cut the block in half. Refrigerate one half for another use and cut the remaining half into ½-inch cubes.
2. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the filtered water, mushroom powder, ginger, leek, dried mushrooms, and half of the kombu.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from the heat and strain the broth. Discard the ginger, leek, mushrooms, and kombu.
5. Return the broth to the saucepan over low heat. Add the miso paste and stir until completely dissolved.
6. Add the green onions and cubed tofu. Warm gently for about 10 minutes. Do not allow the soup to boil after adding the miso.
7. Meanwhile, prepare the sushi rice according to the package directions, adding the remaining half of the kombu to the cooking water.
8. When the rice is cooked, remove and discard the kombu. Mix the mirin, salt, and sugar together, then gently fold the mixture into the rice.
To Serve
Place a rounded scoop of sushi rice in the center of each bowl. Pour the warm miso soup around the rice.
Miso Hungry—Enjoy!

We need to talk about Megyn Kelly’s deeply cruel & ignorant attack on Christina Applegate.
As a doctor, I can tell you that navigating a complex neurological diagnosis is terrifying. Finding out it might be a misdiagnosis? That is pure emotional trauma.
For Kelly to weaponize this patient’s pain for cheap media ratings isn’t just medically ignorant—it lacks basic human empathy. Medicine needs more compassion, not more bullies @megynkelly
👇 Let’s talk about it in the comments.

News about Pope Leo’s lung 🫁 cancer results:
I share good news about Pope Leo’s lung cancer, explaining that he won’t need further treatment like radiation or chemotherapy after tumor removal. I discuss the need for ongoing scans to monitor for recurrence and celebrate his return to work.

Oh, sweetie, I didn’t realize popping lower backs gave you a PhD in oncology. 💀✨
It turns out that cracking a few vertebrae doesn’t automatically qualify someone to formulate a cancer cure in their garage, no matter how many aesthetic TikTok filters they use.
When practitioners step completely out of their lane to hawk unverified supplements to vulnerable people, it moves from “cringe” straight into “actively dangerous.”
As Dr. Terry Simpson constantly points out while joyfully dismantling this kind of medical misinformation: If your “cure” hasn’t survived a clinical trial, it’s not a breakthrough—it’s just expensive snake oil.
Real medicine requires rigorous science, peer-reviewed data, and, you know... an actual medical degree in the field you are talking about.
