Starting a GLP-1 is the easy part. Stopping is where most plans fail. In the STEP 1 extension, people who stopped semaglutide regained about two-thirds of the weight they'd lost within a year, and most of the metabolic improvements faded with it. The drug curbs carb cravings, but it doesn't teach anyone how to eat. The best use is temporary: let the drug blunt the cravings while protein-centered meals and lifting become habits, then taper with those habits already in place.

Dr. Linda Peeno has a confession She worked for the health insurance company Humana, and her job was to use her medical expertise to find ways to deny patients care In exchange for doing this, her salary rapidly increased into the 6 figures In 1996, she confessed that 9 years earlier, she rejected a lifesaving operation. The patient died She saved Humans $500,000 and got promoted Denials are not an accident, they’re a business model for US health insurance companies ALWAYS appeal

“Delta Dental called itself a nonprofit — while paying its CEO $48 million in 4 years.” Her compensation reportedly rose from $4.5 million a year to $15 million. Meanwhile, provider pay was cut and reimbursements barely moved. Nonprofit for taxes. For-profit at the top.

WOW 🚨 American Surgeon exposes she did reconstructive surgery on a breast cancer patient. Health Insurance company paid her only $100 She says this happens all the time, went to court, won, they still won’t pay A bill was proposed to stop this AND CONGRESS KILLED IT “Practicing medicine in 2025 is diabolical. People ask me all the time, if my daughters were to go into medicine, would I let them? And today my answer is no.” “I had done a reconstruction on like a 26 year old girl with breast cancer and the insurance company thought it was reasonable and customary to pay me $100 for her reconstruction. — The insurance company decided to pay me $100, we had to have my legal team sue the insurance company.And this is really common. This happens all the time, unfortunately. — Even though they've lost in court, they don't actually have to pay this amount. And so now the health care attorneys were like, okay, well now we're going to try to file some sort of law through Congress which says that if the insurance companies don't pay, then they should be subject to interest rates. And the ruling came out today that actually that bill is not going to go through” Congress is completely bought out by Big Pharma and Health Insurance companies. This is a racket

This is Mel Thacker. She was an American surgeon, she quit After going through medical school and being a successful surgeon. She left the profession because of what US Heath Insurance Companies have done to healthcare “So I recently left my career as a surgeon, and I wanted to share that the primary reason I did that is because of moral injury — I felt powerless. I wanted to prescribe a very cheap medication to my patients, like Budesonide, and their insurance company would deny it, and the pharmacy would tell them it would cost them $300. And I couldn't tell which patients had the insurance that would do that and which ones didn't. That's just one tiny little example. But multiply that by thousands and thousands of encounters of interactions, of trying to either prescribe a medication or prescribe a treatment plan or do a surgery, and to just be met with roadblocks and layers of bureaucracy that are, quote, unquote, meant to keep healthcare costs down or a patient safe. But really, don't they just drive a wedge, multiple, multiple wedges between the physician and the patient And when we keep layering in these roadblocks, preventing the doctor and the patient from having an actual relationship, that's when we make mistakes. And so how do we fix this? We got to get business out of medicine. Healthcare needs to go back to relationship building, to trust. Trust between the physician and the patient. They need to be put on the pedestal. We need to start there. Not with the shareholders, not with all of the bureaucratic tasks that are meant to keep patients safe, but just increase costs.”

"Over 20 years, the percentage of seniors getting flu shots increased sharply from 15% to 65%. It stands to reason that flu deaths among the elderly should have taken a dramatic dip." "Instead, flu deaths among the elderly continue to climb." If flu shots work, how could that possibly be? 🤔

Today I was the first governor to submit a waiver to the Trump administration to end taxpayer-funded candy and soft drinks in food stamps. Taxpayers should not be subsidizing poor health on the front end and paying for it on the back end with skyrocketing healthcare costs and federal debt. Let’s Make America Healthy Again!

Replying to @HorizonBCBSNJ
@HorizonBCBSNJ today my cardiologist had me scheduled for a stress test. He had to cancel me as he could not get the approval from your agent Evicor. A few years ago he had to postpone my defibrillator battery replacement for the same reason.

When are you going to wake up? Is it any wonder why patients are frustrated and angry with insurance companies? @GovMurphy @ConsumerNJ @starledger

JUST NOW - JILLIAN MICHAELS GETS A STANDING OVATION, for this EPIC PRESENTATION about the Chronic Disease Epidemic, one she describes as "an extinction level event". THIS IS A MUST WATCH "What has happened to us? I'm here to tell you, in the late 70's and the early 80's, a sinister series of events converged to change food and subsequently health indefinitely...[we were] blindly trusting that the powers that be would never betray us...it seemed unthinkable to question whether a corporation would poison us for profit [and] it was this betrayal of trust that allowed them to insidiously infiltrate EVERY PART OF OUR LIVES" This is one of the best overviews I've ever witnessed on how the whole system has been rigged, in what is essentially a "bad health by design" framework As Jillian Michaels says emphatically - People have been "sacrificed at the alter of corporate greed"

NEW: South Park rips the American healthcare system for being incredibly complicated and inefficient. Pure gold. The South Park boys were trying to get medical help for Cartman. When they told their insurance provider that they were trying to file a claim for medication, the boys were sent through an extremely complicated process. South Park never misses.

I had a distrubing experience @ShopRiteStores last Saturday. I had only a few items, so I used the self checkout. After finishing at the register, I started to make my way to the exit...at the far side of the store, when the woman overseeing the sef fcheck started shouting.

Frankly, I felt blown off. The better repsonse would have been to take my name (I introduced myself) and number and perhaps a follow up call just to say she looked into it and handled it would have been more appropriate.

I've been shopping there for decades. Perhaps a little more concern for a loyal customer would have gone a long way toward good faith. Perhaps a different store would be a better option.
