And of course Mitchell Katz's first target is #breastcancer because who gives a shit if AI misses a terminal diagnosis in a female, we're expendable (unfortunately, yes, this guy actually has a #medical degree and did #internalmedicine residency, though I suspect he hasn't practiced in 30 years)

Men's health isn't just about the 'big' events. It's about monitoring waist-to-hip ratios, cardiovascular risk, and sleep quality for hormonal balance. Prevention is the ultimate 'quick win' for long-term vitality. #MensHealth #PreventiveCare #InternalMedicine

Up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss is muscle. This slows your metabolism and causes long-term fatigue. Protect yourself with 0.7g-1g protein per pound and 3x weekly resistance training. Don't just lose weight—save your muscle. #GLP1 #Nutrition #InternalMedicine

Catching up on e-mails, and new #CEO of #ACP (American College of Physicians, the blanket umbrella organization for #InternalMedicine) is a Black male physician, an HBCU (Howard) grad whose research is on #healthdisparities and #SDOH (social determinants of health). Good political statement in 2026

1 in 6 adults struggle with chronic constipation. Most think 'daily' is the only healthy metric, but the medical standard for 'normal' is actually anywhere from 3x daily to 3x weekly. Quality and comfort matter more than the clock. #guthealth #internalmedicine #nutrition

There is an independent #bookstore at DCA and I looked longingly at the books, then remembered I have 72 hrs to finish my #InternalMedicine #boards questions for the quarter and still haven’t done my taxes 😬

Adulting sucks

I was like, I cannot do #ABIM #InternalMedicine boards questions I need to finish in 72 hours to keep my board certification in the leg pit 😂

Medical 'normal' lab ranges are population averages, not your personal peak. You can have 'normal' iron or thyroid levels and still suffer from subclinical symptoms. Always advocate for 'optimal' over 'average' results. #InternalMedicine #HealthTips #PreventiveCare

Sleep regularity matters more than sleep duration for mortality risk. Consistency in your circadian rhythm beats 'catching up' on weekends every time. Use wearables to track HRV trends, not to diagnose sleep stages. If sleep issues persist 3x weekly, see a doctor. #SleepHealth #InternalMedicine #...

Your sleep quality is often a family trait. Genetics play a major role in insomnia risk and circadian rhythms. If your parents struggled with sleep, early evaluation is key to preventing chronic fatigue. Don't wait for exhaustion to become your 'normal.'
