As a nurse practitioner married to a surgeon, I am so happy this physician responded to JD Vance’s racism and hate.
This is how you do it. Expose their rot.

The American College of Sports Medicine updated its resistance training guidelines after 17 years, based on 137 systematic reviews:
- Heavier weights (≥80% of 1RM) favored strength gains
- Higher volume (≥10 sets per muscle group per week) favored muscle growth
- Moderate loads (30–70% of 1RM), lifted with a fast concentric phase, favored power
- Training to failure wasn’t consistently better
- Machines and free weights both worked
- Complex periodization and advanced set techniques didn’t consistently improve results

Now it’s so easy. Wish I had this 20 years ago. I’d have learned faster!
I created LearnCoronary (learncoronary.com), an interactive tool designed to help general cardiology fellows and other early-career learners better understand coronary angiography and the spatial relationships between different angiographic views.

Exercise and remission from cancer: A randomized trial found 37% improved survival, 28% disease-free survival. But little is being done to incorporate in practice except @UPMC 1st health system covering "exercise oncology" program.

Condemnation from California politicians rolled in quickly Monday night after President Donald Trump suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego during a speech to supporters.
Kris, MD retweeted
This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but that’s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city.
My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!

San Diego is not collateral damage.
We are not expendable.
And we are never a "small price to pay."
Keep our city out of your reckless war talk.

This new creatine study is insane.
People who never trained took 10g of creatine a day and gained more lean tissue (2.43 lbs) than people who were lifting 3x a week with no creatine (0.31 lbs).
Here's the breakdown: (1/18)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 2.43 lb was DXA “lean mass,” not 2.43 lb of muscle. Creatine increases intracellular water, which DXA counts as lean tissue. The study didn’t measure hypertrophy, and exercise vs no-exercise wasn’t randomized. Does not show creatine beats lifting. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Having higher levels of C-reactive protein in your blood may increase your risk of dying prematurely by 42 percent. Those with the highest levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), another marker of inflammation, may increase premature death risk by 49 percent. see.nf/plantshift

Smoking is bad, but a low omega-3 Index could be as harmful.
In this 11-year Framingham study, smokers with a high omega-3 index had about the same predicted survival as non-smokers with a low omega-3 index:
- Non-smoker + high omega-3 index (>6.8%): ~85%
- Smoker + high omega-3 index (>6.8%): ~71%
- Non-smoker + low omega-3 index (<4.2%): ~71%
- Smoker + low omega-3 index (<4.2%): ~47%
Worth noting that the "high" omega-3 index category was only >6.8%, which isn't actually that high, as 8% is considered the gold standard optimal threshold.

The largest life expectancy gain would be made by eating more legumes—more beans, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils. bit.ly/3uCrYtK

Supplements I would take daily after age 60:
1. Glycine - declining glutathione & collagen
2. NAC - declining antioxidant defenses
3. Melatonin - declining melatonin production and inflammation
4. Omega-3 - inflammation and dyslipidemia
5. Magnesium - neurological and cardiovascular health

We mourn the passing of the last living Wakulla County WWII Navy veteran Joseph Williams. One of America's treasured heroes, devoted family man, and one of America's oldest members of the Greatest Generation, who has passed away at the age of 106, died on July 25, 2026.
Thank you, Joseph Williams, for your courage in war, your service in peace, and the example you set across 106 remarkable years. Your watch is over. May you now find eternal peace alongside your fellow shipmates and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Rest in peace, Joseph Williams. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
