Thrilled to share that I’ve officially accepted a position to join endocrinology faculty at @weillcornell.bsky.social !

Especially excited to join Dr. Kumar and her amazing ICHANGE clinic team in advancing care for metabolic liver disease—truly a dream job come true for this #MASLD nerd!

Private emails show RFK Jr. making false claims about Covid-19 shots, linking vaccines to autism Kennedy's niece, a NYC physician, shares private emails, says public needs to see what she calls her uncle’s misguided views and conspiracy theories.

Very proud of Dr. Kerry Kennedy Meltzer, my former co-resident and public health & policy extraordinaire for being vulnerable and sharing this about her uncle, RFK Jr.

Nope … your email does NOT find me well.

Burden of Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease, 2020 to 2050 This decision analytical modeling study estimates the burden of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease among US adults from 2020 to 2050.

Estimated burden of #MASLD and #MASH over the next 30 years.😮

Future is grim if we don't take active approach from all disciplines and angles, including policy change.

I love Lisbon!

As a physician, woman and human being I am deeply disturbed on what is going on in this country.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the show rate at our public hospital clinic was extremely low today, same day he promised to role out mass deportations

Texas Executive Order GA-46 and the Erosion of Trust in Health Care | NEJM A new Texas policy could deter immigrants, both documented and undocumented, from seeking help for serious medical concerns. Consequences of this measure may reverberate widely.

“In 2017, immigrants helped offset a $67 billion deficit in healthcare costs for US-born citizens by paying $58 billion more in taxes and premiums than was spent on their healthcare; 89% of this surplus was attributed to contributions made by undocumented immigrants” www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Well, this is a disaster

How many PCPs are endocrinologists on here are regularly using FIB-4 for #MASLD screening in their patients with T2DM?

BMI has limitations in categorizing someone with obesity. We need alternative methods to diagnose obesity so we do not overdiagnose or underdiagnose the disease.

See the new Definition and Diagnostic Criteria of Clinical Obesity statement, published in Lancet today: https://buff.ly/42ftb9g

This month I made $4,052 from "side hustles" between social media engagements and pre-residency advising... nearly double what I make biweekly as a chief endocrinology fellow.

Food for thought: what does it say about trainee physician salaries when side gigs can pay more?

So much talk about #MASLD but let's not forget to screen our patients for alcohol consumption as well.

Alcohol + metabolic risk factors synergistically ⬆️steatohepatitis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in #MetALD

It’s not too late. Contact your Senators today. This is just too urgent and too important to sit on the sidelines.

NOLA forever 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

New Orleans was my home for 4 years and really holds a special place in my heart. It is where I learned medicine and patience, and what it means to have a vibrant life.

My heart goes out to all from yesterday's tragic events ❣️

We were thrilled to be on the Oct 2024 cover of @natrevgastrohep.bsky.social with "Food inequity and insecurity and MASLD: burden, challenges, and interventions"

Looking forward to seeing the 2025 covers @heykatray.bsky.social #LiverSky

Medicare Telehealth Flexibilities Extended Through March 2025 | JD Supra Certain telehealth flexibilities, including geographic requirements, have officially been extended. Just before midnight on Friday, December 20, 2024,...

Medicare moving the needle from Jan to March 2025 for telehealth coverage...

Lived in Ithaca for 4 yrs but I swear I am colder in NYC now 😢

Food order matters when it comes to that glucose spike.

Protein and veggies before carbs !

Awesome work from my Weill Cornell peeps

I have experienced the same thing. It’s so sad.

Do we think this change in telehealth coverage for Medicare will really go into effect in 2025?

Genuinely asking as someone interviewing for jobs which depend on telehealth to provide care to underserved pts or at institutions who don’t have physical space for more physicians to see patients

Tirzepatide provides significantly greater weight loss than semaglutide in the first head-to-head randomized clinical trial, SURMOUNT-5

0o0o0o I like this idea, thank you!

Any ideas for an interesting Endocrine Grand Rounds topic?! Not too broad, timely, clinically relevant.

Unsurprisingly, I have done all my grand rounds thus far on #MASLD so looking for something different :)

Yes it’s crazy!!!

Been doing mock med school interviews lately and all I can say is wow... these kids are impressive.

The sheer amount of publications they have alone makes me question whether I would even get into medical school these days.
