In a guest article for Medical Economics, NVFP's Dr. Louis Kenneth Zweig, M.D. debunks the common misconceptions surrounding obesity and shows how a more accurate and nuanced understanding of this medical condition informs more effective treatment and helps obese individuals meet their health goals. https://hubs.li/Q02z9WSs0 #NVFP #conciergemedicine

In a recent interview with Healio, Monte Nido & Affiliates’ Chief Clinical Officer Melissa Orshan Spann, PhD, MBA, CEDS-C, discussed the significance of early detection of eating disorders, especially for primary care physicians (PCPs) and pediatricians. Dr. Spann emphasized the need for a non-discriminatory approach to discussing food and body image with patients, as eating disorders can impact anyone, especially with the increasing influence of social media and societal trends. Research indicates that children as young as six may experience body dissatisfaction and a desire to lose weight. At Monte Nido, we’re committed to eradicating eating disorders, and PCPs and pediatricians often play a critical role as the first line of detection for these illnesses.

This World Heart Day, Dr Sreekanth Shetty, Director and Head of the Cardiology Department at Sakra World Hospital, talks about the serious impact tobacco has on our health. From being a major cause of cancer, heart attacks, and strokes to increasing the risk of peripheral vascular disease and even sexual dysfunction, tobacco is a leading factor in many health issues. With rising heart attack cases among younger adults, it's clear that this is an issue we can't ignore. The first step towards better heart health? Say NO to tobacco—because your heart deserves better. #EveryBeatCounts #WorldHeartDay #HeartHealth #SayNoToTobacco #TobaccoFreeLife #HealthyHeart #CardiacCare #SakraWorldHospital #HeartAwareness #QuitTobacco #PreventHeartAttacks #YouthHeartHealth #HealthyLiving #HeartStrong #TobaccoRisks

In people with multiple sclerosis, vascular comorbidity has been associated with physical activity and sedentary behavior. This study by Drs. Trinh (Lexi) Huynh, Brenda Jeng, and Rob Motl examines if these variables differed between Black and White people with MS. The study found that only moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was significantly higher in White than Black people with MS (controlling for age, disease duration, marital status, education level, and income). Vascular comorbidity was also only seen to be associated with MVPA in White people with MS included in the study, pointing to physical activity as a potentially significant intervention.

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month: This year's theme is: "Predict Prevent Prevail." 🚀 Did you know? Preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders affect 5-8% of pregnancies, and we're still unravelling their mysteries. 🤔 Currently, we rely mainly on medical history to predict risks, and our prevention tool is prenatal aspirin for high-risk patients. But imagine if we could do more! 💡 Together, we can triumph over preeclampsia! 💪 It's a collaborative effort: patients advocating for research and better healthcare, researchers exploring new avenues with funding, clinicians implementing life-saving practices, and policymakers prioritizing maternal health research, including preeclampsia. 💬 Let's unite and make a difference! 🌍 Alisha Doherty Helen Rose Maryam Ghorbani #PreventPreeclampsia #MaternalHealth #ResearchMatters 🤰

Endometriosis extends beyond a mere reproductive disorder, affecting multiple organs across the body. It can lead to complications in the bladder and intestines, demonstrating its wide-reaching impact. In rare instances, it even affects the lungs and brain, highlighting its unpredictable nature. This complexity underscores the importance of recognizing endometriosis as a systemic health concern, not just a gynecological one. #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #SystemicHealth #BeyondReproductiveHealth #ChronicIllness #Healthcare #MedicalAwareness #EndoWarriors #MultiOrganImpact #InvisibleIllness
