@bulletproofexec

Another day, another “biohacker” telling people to put butter in their coffee & call it healthy. I love when @bulletproofexec shows up in my comment section on IG. I don’t get $$ from pharma, Asprey. I don’t want patients to put butter in their coffee bc I don’t want them to die.

And we don’t tell patients to drink soda either. Please, share with #medtwitter the “thousands of years of medical learning” as you call it, that demonstrates drinking butter is healthy? You’ve only made millions promoting this idea and other pseudoscience. I’ll wait.

@bulletproofexec

For anyone who needs context: Dave Asprey @bulletproofexec
“How the CEO of Bulletproof Coffee turned buttered coffee into a multimillion-dollar empire”

But yet, us doctors recommending guideline based medicine, we are the shills @DrJenGunter

@KCKlatt

Working with registered dietitians has been INCREDIBLE for my patients care. Especially my patients who are statin hesitant.

...And not just in the way you would expect.

A thread about our telehealth RD @KCKlatt and how he’s impacted our patients care 🧵

Having an RD affiliated with your practice that you can send patients to is incredibly valuable.
As a cardiologist who cares extraordinarily about prevention, whether it’s seeing patients in primary prevention who have hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, and trying to reduce

their risk for developing for ASCVD, or whether seeing my patients who have established CAD and we are trying to reduce their risk for future cardiovascular events, nutrition ALWAYS plays a part of the equation.

I think empathy and compassion are the two most important reasons I am a good cardiologist. Not publications, not leadership positions, not titles, not where I trained. It’s because I look at every patient as if they were MY family member. Because they *are* important to someone.

Patients are scared, they are looking to us for help. They need us to listen. All of the brilliance in the world, doesn’t trump the power of listening to your patients

So for any trainees/med students worrying about the stress of where you match/ how many papers you have/feeling overwhelmed with the rat race / just know that all of that disappears when when you see how much you’ll impact your patients lives ❤️❤️

This MLK day, I want to honor Black women in medicine who are changing the world. This first thread will focus on my friend @doctortarr_ the leader of Rooted by Planted in Health, our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization! Read more!🧵

@doctortarr_

Rooted led by Dr. Sondema Tarr @doctortarr_ , is an educational outreach program focused on providing informative health and nutrition videos, print out resources, and health tips for the Black community, accessible online & free for all!

Why is this important?
Rates of heart disease mortality among the Black population have remained disproportionately high, and the impact of social determinants of health greatly impact the risk of developing heart disease.

Meat eaters: would you eat lab grown meat? Keep in mind it’s structurally identical to non-lab meat!

Vegans: would you eat lab grown meat?

Are you interested in learning more about lab grown meat & dairy?

My dad is having some statin intolerance, and we just had an hour conversation about trying a PCSK9i, so I offered to e-mail his cardiologist to give her the rundown & he said NO! He said he didn’t want me to “bother her” and he’s her favorite patient 😂

LMAO I’m a cardiologist

Playing backseat doctor with parents is always interesting 😂

PS I love my parents and they are stuck with me back seat doctoring forever. And like, if it’s in MY specialty, I feel like I’m allowed.😂
