This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Biden proposes expanded Medicare, Medicaid coverage of obesity medications

#Biden administration plans to require #Medicare and #Medicaid #health #insurance to #cover #weightloss #drugs could trigger #private #employers to do the same for their employees with #obesity

Currently < 1 in 5 large employers
cover such Rx

The U.S. spends at least 18% of its #GDP ($3.35 trillion) on #health #expenditures. If costs continue to rise, by 2050, #Medicare and #Medicaid alone will account for 20% of the GDP. All projections point to continued rises in chronic disease. Let’s #reverse this #trend. Make #FoodIsMedicine

Dear Black Friday, put groceries on sale #Meme

#Chronicdisease is leading #causeofdeath, #disability in U.S.
More than 50% of U.S. #adults have 1 condition, accounting for 90% of #healthcare #spending.
80% of #heartdisease, #stroke, #diabetes and 40% of #cancer could be #prevented, with #improvements to #diet and #lifestyle. Let’s #MAHA #MedSky

Get your vaccines. God won’t save us. We save ourselves.

Please raise hands if you are Vaxed again this year 🙋🏽‍♀️ We need everyone protected to prevent upsurge in winter!

High time to stop blame and shame of folks with disease of obesity, given emerging evidence supporting a biological and genetic disease, not of will power as mistaken.

Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss

Adipocyte (Fat cells) have a #memory of #obesity, hinting at why it’s hard to keep #weight off.

Even after drastic #weightloss, the shift in #epigenome (gene activity) of #fat cell seems to render them incapable of their normal function. Published in Nature 11/18/24. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Eating #ultraprocessedfoods raises the #risk of #obesity by 55%, #sleep #disorders by 41%, development of type 2 #diabetes by 40% and the risk of #depression by 20%.

A dangerous display by national #leaders. Very reason we need #healthcare experts leading the way of #health departments.
