Thanksgiving can be a wellness trifecta if you do these three things.
Good food packed with nutrients, good company and conversation, and a good walk afterward to get some exercise. These simple practices make for a healthy life. More in my forthcoming book, "Eat Your Ice Cream."
In a major new @Lancet Series, researchers argue show how ultra-processed foods are a key driver of the global chronic disease epidemic.
As I talk about in my new book, the problem is when these foods become the foundation of your diet, not an occasional bite.
Rule #2 about wellness:
It’s not about perfection. Building a healthy lifestyle means creating habits you can live with every day, not chasing impossible standards.
More in my new book "Eat Your Ice Cream.”

Rule #1 about wellness: don’t sweat the small stuff.
Too many people obsess over minor changes that will not have a real impact on long-term health and wellness.
I discuss this in my forthcoming book “Eat Your Ice Cream.” Pre-order it here:

A breast cancer diagnosis can cost $80k in scans, surgery, chemo, and pathology within just a few months.
Trump’s proposed ACA reforms wouldn’t come close to helping people cover that.

Who gets to be a doctor in America is about to change.
Trump’s new federal student loan caps will push lower-income students out of medicine and make the physician shortage worse. As I have argued for years, it's time to shorten medical school to three years.

I'm 67 years old and I just joined TikTok. Here's why.
As public health leaders, we must adapt to meet the audiences where they are.
On the CareTalk podcast, John Driscoll and I discuss the challenges facing public health communication today.
We spend $1.5 trillion more on healthcare than any other country—and still leave millions uninsured.
The ACA was a critical step forward, but it was not a finished product. I spoke with @NPR about the past, present, and what still needs fixing.

Your doctor can't read your mind, but they can save your life if you ask the right questions and provide the right information. Read more of the no frills advice I offered @meghanrabbitt.bsky.social in @mariashriver.bsky.social's Sunday Paper.

Dr. Peter Attia exercises 10 or more hours per week in the hope—with no proof—that it will actually add more years to your life than exercising 2 to 3 hours per week. If you want science-based wellness tips, pre-order my book. Link in thread.

50,000 Americans could die from Medicaid and ACA coverage losses.
When costs spike like this, healthier enrollees drop coverage, which drives costs even higher.
I joined @yahoofinance.com to discuss what's at stake with ACA subsidy renewal.
RFK Jr.'s claim that vaccines didn't save lives, sanitation did, is half right—and dangerously wrong.
While sanitation helped in the early 20th century, vaccines saved millions of lives in the later 20th century and reduced severe impairments like brain damage. More in @statnews.com

Stop popping supplements. Start eating food.
Ashwin Rodrigues’s piece in the @nytimes.com alarmingly reports that Americans are taking more supplements than ever before and it can hurt – rather than help – our overall health. Here's what actually works: eating real food.
My students at the University of Pennsylvania are brilliant, but they couldn't fully focus in class.
That's why I banned all technology in my classroom. No online shopping, no Instagram, no email, no internet. The results speak for themselves.

Public health requires investing today to protect people tomorrow.
As I shared on @vox.com, we're already seeing the damage caused by the Trump admin: Rising vaccine skepticism and preventable outbreaks. The Texas measles deaths are just the beginning. www.vox.com/today-explai...

In a new @nytopinion.nytimes.com essay, Team Scientist @zekeemanuel.bsky.social draws from behavioral science and his own teaching experience to argue that removing phones from classrooms can make students more focused and classes more effective.
https://nyti.ms/4myDcW3
As a professor, I'd give MAHA a "C." Success: spotlighting phones' harm to kids, chronic illness/food connections. Problems: vaccine skepticism (2 children died from measles), questionable supplements, and little real action on healthy food subsidies. My thoughts in @thefp.com ⬇️

RFK is turning the CDC into an ideological rubber stamp of the Trump admin. Congress must use their oversight power to restore qualified leadership and adequate funding to the CDC. Our children's health and our scientific credibility depend on it.
