The human body is not meant to metabolize the foreign ingredients that are in processed food. It's that simple. #drdominicacostello #womenshealth #healthcare #thyroidawareness #endocrine #functionalnutrition

?? Until more recent times, #perimenopause and #menopause were simply looked at as "the female lifecycle" and that was that. ?? Thankfully there actually ARE tests and interventions available to mitigate the unpleasant effects during this time in a woman's life. One particular topic in this great article is that of the #microbiome and it's direct effect on estrogen levels. ?? Yet another reason to seek care from a physician or other practitioner that will go over the entire you.. head to toe! ?? https://lnkd.in/eRtDxUBF ?? ?? @https://lnkd.in/esMq-Y6A ?? #directprimarycare #directspecialtycare #drdominicacostello #newburyport #amesbury #nbpt

It's wonderful to see public figures sharing their personal experiences with Type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Sharing such stories can indeed provide comfort, support, and a sense of community for those living with the condition. Knowing that they are not alone and seeing successful individuals managing their diabetes can be empowering. The 780G system has been widely praised for its advanced technology in diabetes management. As an endo caring for many folks with diabetes (both type 1 and 2) I've been blessed to see insulin pump technology change many lives first hand. Though it wasn't that long ago.. when I started practicing I had many patients doing fingersticks and multiple daily injections of insulin. It was extremely difficult. It's heartening to see advancements in diabetes care that make a positive impact on the lives of both patients and healthcare professionals. #Type1Diabetes #Type2Diabetes #MiniMed780G

I love telehealth, and so do my patients. Pic 1- “meeting” my patient’s new baby…. Pic 2- hysterical little burp and laugh... then mommy and I had a great chuckle. No need to worry about child care, time off work, traveling to my office. Best of all worlds. @northshoreweightandmetabolism we see tons of patients at their convenience, which is just one small benefit of being in a non-traditional medical practice. I'm practicing medicine, not insurance bingo. I really hope more and more physicians who are getting burned-out (I'm as SICK of this phrase as anyone.. but it's a problem) can hang in there and take the scary leap into some form of a cash-based or .. ?cash-enhanced? practice model. I've heard commentary referring to this as "greedy". It makes me kind of laugh, kind of get pissed and kind of cry all at once. We aren't greedy. We want to get paid for what we do well, what we trained for many years to do. Fourteen to be exact. I will still be paying my med-school student loans when my daughters go to college. And I'm fine with that. As long as I can still be having a great time with my patients. #telehealth #directprimarycare #directspecialtycare #nswmweightloss #weightcare

This great summary touches on set point, explains plateau and thoughts on proper use of anti-obesity medications, and perhaps most importantly.. drives home why it is critical to take the proper steps to maintain your lean muscle mass!

I'm thrilled that more and more experts in the field are spreading concern about these substances being made available to the eager public. I say 'eager' instead of 'unknowing' because I don't think folks are unknowing. People are eager to lose weight and vulnerable. Here's a question. If there were a shortage of blood pressure medication, and unregulated "compounded" blood pressure medication became available, would people rush to buy that? Or anti-depressants? Blood thinners? ASPIRIN? I'm certain I would not put something called "aspirin"- stirred together in a lab and molded into a tablet, into my body. "Trust us, it's just like aspirin."
