Revolution Medicine, Health & Fitness

What a unique opportunity it was to speak at the Capital Rx Partner Summit at the #WorldTradeCenter! Sara Izadi, PharmD and I had a lively panel discussion about the ongoing challenges that patients face who are looking for #evidencebased #obesity care, including the high costs of #GLP1s. It was fascinating to learn more about what is happening in the #PBM space, and the efforts being made to use technology to reduce pharmacy costs for employer-based insurance plans and the larger #healthcare system. Thank you to the Capital Rx team! A. J. Loiacono Sunil Budhrani MD MPH MBA Josh Golden William Tafoya Justin Venneri #NewYorkCity #WashingtonDC #Norfolk

? How much should we value BMI? ? ? Dr. Glickman, featured in Parade, states that although it's "essential to understand the health impact of our lifestyle choices, which can influence disease expression, longevity, and overall quality of life," that we should look beyond our BMI to understand our health status. ? Despite its widespread use, BMI has several limitations: ? ?? It does not differentiate between muscle and fat, which means that a very fit individual with high muscle mass might be classified as overweight or obese despite having a low body fat percentage. ?? Additionally, BMI does not account for differences in body composition due to age, sex, or ethnicity. ?? It also fails to consider fat distribution, which is crucial since carrying excess weight around the abdomen is more strongly linked to health risks than fat stored in other areas of the body. ? Despite this, it is sometimes used in the medical field as a standardized way to identify potential risks associated with being underweight or overweight, but today, providers take this number with a grain of salt ??. ? ??

???? Processed Foods: The Hidden Culprit in Weight Struggles ???? ? At Revolution Medicine, we know that weight loss is about more than just calories in vs. calories out. While macronutrients (carbs, proteins, and fats) are important, the quality of the food you eat matters just as much—especially when it comes to processed foods. ? Processed foods are often packed with hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and artificial additives. These ingredients disrupt your gut health, mess with your metabolism, and increase inflammation, making it harder to lose weight—even if you're technically eating the right macronutrients. ? This is why sustainable weight loss isn’t just about cutting calories—it’s about focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods that support your body’s systems, especially your gut. A healthy gut = a healthy metabolism. ?? ? Your weight loss journey to a balanced, vibrant life starts from within! ???? ? #RevolutionMed #EvidenceBasedMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #washingtondc #Norfolk #NYC #Health #Obesity #WeightLoss #Zepbound #Semaglutide #Ozempic #Wegovy #processedfoods #ultraprocessed #wholefoods #organic
