After seeing dietary discussions on @Twitter again yesterday, we need to keep pushing the evidence-based pragmatic concept that dietary pattern improvements need NOT be mutually exclusive. There should not be “keto docs” and “plant-based docs.” Let’s be patient-oriented docs 👍💪🏽

Confused about the genetics of obesity after the @60Minutes special? @DrNadolsky and I were asked to provide a little bit of nuance to the discussion after so much, “outrage,” on the internet.

Example of adult female w/ type 1 #diabetes who has struggled in adult years w/ #obesity started semaglutide ( #Wegovy ) last January before insurance coverage changed; switched to tirzepatide ( #Mounjaro ) recently (on 5mg). 21% #weightloss + markedly reduced insulin requirements

Another awesome trial result for #Semaglutide and weight loss. This time in addition to very intensive lifestyle therapy, as noted by 6% weight loss in placebo group.

Obesity is a disease, by definition, whether one wants to agree or not with that fact. It is a complex disease of excess or abnormal adipose (fat) tissue which drives other disease processes on a spectrum of individual variability in a progressively chronic relapsing manner.

My colleagues (endo & dietitian) just saw healthy young female athlete who feels poorly with concerns “hypoglycemia” on very light #LowCarb diet overly concerned about her #CGM showing glucose in 60-80s mg/dL but scared of 30 mg/dL rise based upon following @glucosegoddesss 😞

What you DON’T NEED for weight loss: - A doctor who promotes supplements & drugs as a cure for obesity - overly focusing on a caloric deficit, while ignoring food quality & relationship to food This doctors is BEYOND terrible, its actually sad

Why are artificial sweeteners such an emotionally charged topic? Clinically meaningful outcomes from actual interventional data matter more than hypotheticals. See my counterpoint

Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? For most people, probably. But that’s fine don’t talk to me 🧱 🧱, talk to Nature 👇 And what’s wrong with just drinking water anyway?

Evidence-based guidelines: Low-carb diets are beneficial, low-fat diets are beneficial, plant-based diets are beneficial, Mediterranean etc but personalize therapy 🥗🐟🥑 Physicians & dieticians: "OK, let's tailor nutrition therapy to individuals." Dietary evangelicals: "F&$!k"

It is well known that higher saturated fat (SFA) intake, with nuanced differences between types of foods and types of SFA, increase low density lipoproteins (LDL) and thus cardiovascular risk (heart attack, strokes, etc). @DrNadolsky @Drlipid @davidludwigmd @AdrianSotoMota

It is nice to see @garytaubes come around to the science acknowledging with @drnadolsky that an energy deficit, even with high carb intake, results in #WeightLoss rather than claiming carbs—>insulin—> obesity or that #LowCarb ( #LCHF ) is the only way.

Another red flag of quackery is claiming to be “years ahead of your time” rather than being a part of continued scientific progress + academic discussion. Science/medicine is not some secret society; advances/changes are shared then collaborated etc. @DrAseemMalhotra @DjokerNole

Hey @novonordisk & @EliLillyandCo ,, while you are working on reducing cost (like quit spending millions on tv commercials), how about start putting #ozempic , #wegovy , #mounjaro & #zepbound in vials which would help kill several birds with one stone.

We (DocsWhoLift) certainly once thought that all docs etc should “look” healthy. Then learned that there is more to clinician’s expertise than the cover of their book. Like @DrNadolsky said, some look “fit,” but take drugs like anabolic steroids. Health habits may not “look” it

I think it’s fair to ask if the MD or scientist or public health official saying to do X or not do Y looks and sounds healthy and vital. I avoid going to a dentist with bad teeth. What do you think? I sense diverging opinions on this.

Podcast w/ @DrSarahHallberg on carb restriction improved my impression. Pragmatically not discordant from evidence or how we personalize dietary prescription for obesity & spectrum of adiposity-based cardiometabolic / dysglycemic disease like T2DM.

Personalizing dietary therapy is key for everyone. Individualizing one’s dietary pattern toward a “Mediterranean diet” can be a healthy approach in the management of menopause-related obesity / adiposity-based disease and cardiometabolic complications.

Actually this not true and actually treating the root of obesity-associated hypogonadism (GLP, surgery etc) is appropriate as noted by @DrNadolsky . @TheAACE @TheEndoSociety @ObesitySociety @ASMBS

In my opinion every single man with obesity considering a GLP1 should first be assessed for hypogonadism and have that effectively treated first, if present. Many, many, individuals will no longer need a GLP1 if they have a testosterone level that is normalized.
