Nice explanation by Dr. Clowse of why more research is critical before we use hydroxychloroquine widely for COVID. forge.duke.edu/blog/i-love-hy…


Obesity, diabetes and COVID-19: here's some info to help understand the connections. healio.com/primary-care/i…


Would love to be able to code a diagnosis besides "obesity due to excess calories" for all of my patient visits. It's oversimplified, insulting and, for many, inaccurate. Here's an idea headed in the right direction. popsci.com/story/health/o…


How could sleep and weight be connected? "...several brain regions involved in regulating sleep and wake cycles also are involved in regulating fasting and feeding, and these neural systems are influenced by the same hormones and neurotransmitters." pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/…


Later bedtime was associated with #obesity in children. I see this commonly in adult patients, too. Our patients at Duke Diet and Fitness often cite the early to bed, early to rise schedule as helpful. cnn.com/2020/02/18/hea…


Fascinating how controversy over the relationship between red meat intake and health heightens with each new research article. Science is supposed to get closer to the truth over time. ja.ma/2R7v2Yw


This goes hand in hand with the lack of nutrition education in medical training.

This post is unavailable.

Medical Students Around the World Poorly Trained in Nutrition. The title of the article says it all. It's time for medical schools and MDs who use #nutrition therapy to step it up! ja.ma/34RoxgJ


Thanks, Jason. Most fun study I have done because several other docs were involved and saw first-hand (along with the patients) how powerful nutrition therapy can be for diabetes.

More trial evidence that low carbohydrate approach is more powerful than drugs. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…



Kudos to these authors for highlighting a poorly understood health problem seen in obesity medicine, lipedema. It's difficult to treat but an alert obesity specialist can help. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…


Kudos to James Corden for calling out Bill Maher for his "fat-shaming" segment, and still making us laugh while doing it. newsweek.com/meghan-mccain-…


America's obesity epidemic may mean some cancers are striking sooner. More evidence that we need to treat obesity like the disease it is and make lowering insulin and insulin resistance a goal. medicalxpress.com/news/2019-08-a… via @medical_xpress

Solution-oriented treatment approaches for obesity from health care providers, rather than just acknowledgement of the problem, are what our patient partners urgently request @Duke_CTSI @DukeHealth @drsarah4kids #TransformingObesityResearchAtDuke
