@RealDoctorMike the kids were so excited to finally meet you. You even talked them into trying the simracing.

piped.video/watch?v=o69BiOqY… This debate taught me more about professionalism and dealing with the disinformation that infests our discourse than 5.5 years of MBBS. I try to emulate @RealDoctorMike's example as much as I can in balancing honesty with patience and kindness.

Dr. Mike reveals why the surge in unregulated peptide use is secretly endangering your health "BPC157, probably the most famous peptide in this scenario, the agency found only one small human study relevant to that use, a meeting abstract, not a full study publication involving 53 people in which it was administered as an enema" "The FDA found no randomized controlled human trials establishing the safety or effectiveness of injecting the peptide for tendon, ligament, or muscle recovery. For KPV, TB500, and Matsi, the FDA reported that it could not identify human exposure data at all" "Think about what this means for a second. The scientists could not find any adequate published evidence showing what happens when the substances are administered to humans in the first place" "Peptides can aggregate, degrade, trigger immune reactions or contain impurities. Even if an animal study uses something called BPC157, that does not guarantee that every vial being sold online is chemically identical to what was studied"

It’s genuinely sad to see people be fooled by “longevity peptide fan boys” because they box-check saying that they are “anti-pharma.” These same people get BEYOND rich selling poorly proven (or unproven) peptides and other miracle goodies in the space. At least pharma has to run trials, have them be evaluated by regulators, and publicly disclose conflicts of interest. How much has your favorite influencer made from selling peptides? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Shameful.

If you are using or planning to use PEPTIDES you should definitely watch this video. Doctor exposes the truth about PEPTIDES. They’re being sold like Wolverine juice. Faster healing. Less inflammation. More muscle. The most famous one, BPC-157, was not reviewed for tendon repair. It was reviewed for ulcerative colitis. FDA scientists found one small human study. A meeting abstract. 53 people. Given as an enema. No randomized trials for injecting it to fix muscle, tendon, or ligament. For TB-500 and MOTS-c, they couldn’t even find adequate human exposure data. Scientists recommended against all 7 peptides. A newly seated committee voted to recommend 6 of them anyway. That was not FDA approval. That was a compounding list. Podcasts will tell you it’s been cleared. It hasn’t.

Partisan healthcare choices are problematic across the board. This holds equally true for when President Biden rushed COVID boosters & what @SecKennedy is doing now. @DanaBashCNN

"As a pediatrician with more than 30 years of caring for children, I have thoroughly reviewed the case investigation information and sadly can confirm that there were two recent measles-associated deaths in Lancaster County, which were reported to the CDC’s measles response team early Tuesday morning. DOH’s Epidemiology team thoroughly investigated and verified both individuals tested positive for measles. The information was not reported to the public until the results of the epidemiological investigations were confirmed. Under state law, PA DOH is not required to report deaths to coroners. Our staff have regular meetings with professional staff at the CDC, including additional meetings specifically about these cases — in fact, as recently as this afternoon. I deeply appreciate the supportive working relationship between the PA DOH and CDC professional staff. As a pediatrician, public health professional, and mother, my heart goes out to the impacted families and I have, and will continue to do, everything in my power to protect their confidentiality." - Dr. Debra Bogen, Secretary of Health

What is an ideal approach here? Can an anti-vaxxer & doctor ever see eye to eye?

Super disappointed to see my good friends and physicians @ZekeEmanuel @drjohnwhyte go into a conversation about one of the most important topics of our time with such poor-quality talking points. Listening to two scientific experts resort to emotional & anecdotal arguments over and over, for or against AI, truly shows how disconnected we’ve become in our ability to debate and communicate with those we disagree with. I’m not sure if this is a result of watching Secretary Kennedy’s rise to power, but this is certainly not the right direction for us to go as scientists. Dr. Emanuel wrote a book called “eat your ice cream” as a way to grab attention, for perhaps a less than ideal piece of medical advice, but now he’s taking this approach in making hyper-specific, predictive claims about autonomous AI replacing human doctors. He does so using non-realistic, poorly applicable studies, and when appropriately called out for it, his defense is that he was not being selective in only including pro-AI written papers. Sure, that may be true, but he should still realize that the level of research he’s using to justify his extraordinary position is at the bottom of medical evidence hierarchy. Making recommendations based on low-quality evidence is unfortunately sometimes part of medicine, however we cannot take that same liberty when discussing the health/well-being of millions of patients and the value of a million+ physicians in the US. I’m not sure how much time Dr. Emanuel spends practicing medicine these days vs how much he interacts with AI-obsessed VC’s, as many of his points come off quite disconnected from current medical practice and education. He says medicine has never prioritized empathy or EQ in education, but he’s surprisingly missing the point here. Yes, early in med school much time is spent hammering science in the classroom, but then the last two years, as well as most of residency is focused on the humanistic aspect. This is where doctors are made. As someone who teaches resident physicians, I have seen time and time again brilliant test-taking med-students absolutely flounder once they begin working with actual humans. This is where I expected Dr. Whyte to shine and defend the humanistic parts that are currently lacking in AI research studies. Instead, he was so often on the defensive and resorting to emotional arguments that he was unable to represent the anti-autonomous AI side well. Yes healthcare in our country is broken, yes we are all suffering, but this requires thoughtful solutions utilizing true evidence-based tools as opposed to AI-industry funded, “podcast-bro” level discussions and predictions. It’s no doubt that AI has a place within medicine and certainly has the capacity to improve care. I can’t imagine a single doctor thinking that improving care with technology is a bad thing. But what’s painfully obvious is that we’ve become quite comfortable making exaggerated claims to get attention, at the expense of further confusing an already overwhelmed public. Physicians, med students, and most importantly patients deserve better leadership and guidance in this space. Spending an hour spitballing stories about the one time AI got it right, or how Waymo got it wrong should be reserved for Joe Rogan and not the CEO of the @AmerMedicalAssn or a professor from an esteemed institution. We should be avoiding hyperbole & fear-mongering at all costs. We should be debating how to create quality & inclusive research to better understand where AI needs work, where the human touch is indispensable, and how future medical professionals should be trained. - a frustrated family medicine physician P.S. I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry when the moderator took the first break to share a commercial for another AI company 😅

But doctor, Kim Kardashian is a true fan….or is she? 🤑 (that’s the Prenuvo CEO)

We all agree—healthcare should be a RIGHT, not a luxury. It's time to speak up for a healthcare system that puts PEOPLE over profits. Join us at: buff.ly/LxRHISz

I vividly remember people telling me that if I only share accurate health info, no one would watch. You proved them wrong ❤️⚕️🙏🏼 @YouTubeCreators

Jesse Eisenberg say being famous doesn’t necessarily mean providing value. "I think a lot of people, when they meet me, they want to take a picture to show their friends that they met somebody famous." "They might say, look, I ran in, they might text them with a picture saying, look, I ran into that guy you hate. You know, that guy we make fun of when we watch the TV show or whatever? I got a picture with that idiot." "I recognize that fame is not correlated to value. You know what I mean? It's totally natural, of course. But I don't think people coming up to me, it doesn't make me think, I'm a good person, look at what I've done, that this person is wanting to talk to me."

We're kicking off Learn Serve Lead 2026 with an unforgettable opening plenary featuring @RealDoctorMike and Pulitzer Prize-winner @stacyschiff. Join us as they explore leadership, public trust, and what history can teach us about navigating change. #AAMC26 bit.ly/4f5jHlJ
