Thank you everyone for sharing yourselves and your yummy potluck contributions on Saturday night. Next potluck likley to be in April. Stay tuned!

Misinformation kills.

I have a patient with long-standing, uncontrolled blood pressure.

He’s already suffered a stroke, yet believes the two are unrelated. 🧠💔

Another patient follows a strict carnivore diet. He had his first heart attack at 51.

He tells me it was just bad luck.
His LDL-C is 5.35, Apo-B is 1.4.
He refuses statins. I will always support him no matter his decisions.

He gets his health advice from carnivore influencers.

When he has his second heart attack, he may finally believe me. 💔

I have a patient who had the upper lobe of his right lung removed and still smokes. 🚬

His father made it to 88 while smoking a pack a day.

He’s convinced the anti-smoking movement is just a conspiracy.

Another patient has suffered from major depression for years.

She often stops her prescribed treatment, only to end up in the ER with suicidal thoughts.

She doesn’t believe in taking “chemicals,” yet her cupboards are packed with unregulated “natural” supplements. 💊🌿

Be careful out there.

The internet will tell you whatever you want to hear.

Confirmation bias is real, and it’s easier than ever to fall into echo chambers of misinformation.

And if your influencer is giving medical advice while walking shirtless through a grocery store… please take a moment to think critically.

Misinformation is spreading like wildfire, and it’s more important than ever for qualified voices to speak up.

Not for likes. Not for fame. But for the people who deserve the truth.

Real health doesn’t come in a 30-day bottle of “natural” vitamins or in a “reset” program.

It comes from habits, repeated consistently, over years. ⏳🧘‍♂️🥗

Eat whole, nourishing foods.
Move your body.
Get enough sleep.
Manage your stress in healthy ways.
Surround yourself with people who reflect the kind of person you want to become. 🧠💚👥

Is it easy? No.

But the internet would have you believe these transformations should happen overnight.

This may leave people feeling powerless.

In reality, it takes time.

It takes patience, self-compassion, and a whole lot of grit. 💪🕊️

It takes decades to build true health and lasting relationships.

Lead with intention.

Live with integrity.

And each day, take one small step toward the person you were always meant to be. 🚶‍♂️🌱🌟

I’ve seen countless patients of mine turn their life around when everyone had counted them out.

You can do it.
