Peptides have gone mainstream. Here’s what the science actually shows — and what it doesn’t…at least for now. My full sit-down with @StevenBartlett on Diary of a CEO: youtu.be/jt5hHb6kzYM?si…

@darkmodebio @AbudBakri Not even the slightest

@DrAlexTatem @AbudBakri Do you have any concerns about HGH and BPH?

They’ve said the same thing about growth hormone for years. 🤷‍♂️ Still waiting to uncover the secret cancer epidemic plaguing biohackers and bodybuilders. Doesn’t exist.

@Wayne81573 Way too early to tell, but watching closely. 👀

@alextatem love the peptide info!! Awesome and on the weight loss ones with Reta coming and others in trials like Viking therapeutics on the sq and pill in same formula do you expect it to be on par or close to Reta?

@WilliamLasher @uTobian @WhiteHouse @ferrisbuhler81 Crossing my fingers. 🤞

@uTobian @WhiteHouse @ferrisbuhler81 And @alextatem what do you think? Particularly concerning compounded GLP-1s?

The @WhiteHouse fired Marty Makary, Tracy Beth Høeg, and Katherine Szarama at FDA to clear the path for the approval of the junk science Moderna mRNA flu shot favored by Republican megadonor Stephen Schwarzman. It's the most extreme case of regulatory capture in history.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, broke away from President Trump’s schedule and headed straight into one of Beijing’s traditional hutongs to enjoy a bowl of zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) from the famous Fangzhuan workshop.

I enjoy the irony of Claivicular, the supposed number one “looksmaxxer” being absolutely mogged by the Judge in his Miami case.

SARMs were supposed to be “safe steroids.” So why did nearly every major SARM fail pharmaceutical development? In this video, we breakdown Ostarine, RAD-140, Ligandrol, YK-11, MK-677, Cardarine, S23, and more — covering the real science, muscle-building effects, testosterone suppression, liver toxicity, and why the entire category may be fundamentally broken. This one ends with a twist. Steroid Tierlist: youtu.be/Qn4N2RTkgKU Peptide Tierlist: youtu.be/vZX0U0owGT0 #bodybuilding

@boltfanindenver @AntiDoc YES 🙌

@alextatem @AntiDoc Lmfao and now my Chargers drop this today

This is all totally useless btw

This is absolutely insane. President Trump is currently flying to China with all of the following people to request "deals" with China's President Xi: 1. Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO 2. Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO 3. Tim Cook, Apple CEO 4. Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO 5. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO 6. Kelly Ortberg, Boeing CEO 7. Brian Sikes, Cargill CEO 8. Jane Fraser, Citigroup CEO 9. Larry Culp, General Electric CEO 10. David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO 11. Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron CEO 12. Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm CEO President Trump also says there are "many other" CEOs joining him on the trip who have not yet been disclosed. Never in history has such a trip even remotely near this scale and caliber occurred. This Trump-Xi meeting is far bigger than most realize.

“Everyone talks about starting GLP-1s. Almost nobody talks about getting off them successfully. These two new Nature Medicine studies are exactly what the space needed.

The FDA Commissioner role is open. This is a pivotal moment for American medicine — & for American patients. Here’s what I believe the next Commissioner should stand for. Not as a wish list. As a baseline. 🔬 1. BRING BACK THE ADCOMS — AND MAKE THEM COUNT. Advisory Committee meetings are one of the FDA’s most powerful tools for transparency. They should return in full force. Open. Public. And real. Patients, doctors, scientists, advocates, & skeptics should all be able to speak. But if you want to speak, you fill out a financial conflict-of-interest form under penalty of perjury — & you read it out loud at the podium before you say another word. Every single person. And if the issues are complex and the science requires more than one day, then take the time. Don’t cut people off because the schedule says so. The public deserves to see exactly how these decisions are made. Real transparency builds real trust. ⚖️ 2. STOP ASKING ONLY “IS IT SAFE ENOUGH TO APPROVE?” — START ASKING “WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON’T?” For rare diseases. For serious conditions with no good options. For patients who don’t have ten years to wait for traditional trials that may never be feasible. Every regulatory decision carries two risks: the risk of approving something, and the risk of not approving it. Both are real. Both affect real people. When traditional gold-standard trials aren’t practical, we should still be able to move with urgency — but only when paired with strong post-approval commitments and rigorous safety monitoring. We can give desperate patients a chance without abandoning scientific integrity. 🇺🇸 3. THE FDA’S ONLY CLIENT IS THE AMERICAN PATIENT. FULL STOP. The FDA exists to serve patients — not outside interests or external pressures of any kind. It must continue protecting the public from products that carry real, known risks but offer no meaningful clinical benefit. At the same time, when there is credible evidence that a treatment can help patients with serious conditions, Americans and their physicians should be trusted to make informed decisions once they have complete and honest information about the risks, benefits, and alternatives. The FDA’s job is to make sure the science is sound and the information is clear. Then let patients and doctors do what’s best for them. These principles matter because the FDA’s decisions affect every family in this country. Note: This is a simple social media post and not a massive policy document. The issues are FAR more nuanced, there are challenges and risks with each of the things I said above, and I recognize that. But it's intended to serve as a discussion starter. We must always strive to improve, and we can when we have open debate and dialogue.

Makary talked a great game. Too bad he never played it.

Lila, respectfully, you’re omitting important context. Kyle was a junior associate initially assigned to the case, but he later removed himself from the case because of his personal beliefs. Kyle is a good man, is pro life, and he is focused on delivering on President Trump’s promise to MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN.

@ucsbman Honestly I think @ADM_Christine should make a lateral move.

@alextatem Love your work and information on the site. As you know, this is a political role. Who would be a legitimate consideration, that it’s good for patients, the Public and this position.

MAHA just got another chance. LFG!! 🔥🤘

@DefiantLs If he shut down the doomed WISER experiment, then we’d REALLY be cooking

Dr. Oz on why rooting out fraud in healthcare is top priority for the Trump admin, "If we take the fraud out of Medicare, just Medicare alone, we would double the life expectancy of the Medicare trust fund."

LETS GOOOOOOO 🙌💪🤘

Kyle Diamantas will do an excellent job as acting FDA Commissioner. He is smart, savvy, and is hyper focused on MAKING AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN! 🇺🇸

Makary may have been a surgeon, but as FDA commissioner he was a pure politician, playing multiple sides. We need an FDA commissioner who is singleminded in their commitment to patients and @SecKennedy’s MAHA agenda - able to craft science and ethos into sane public policy. 💪

@boltfanindenver @AntiDoc God I actually remember downloading every episode of the OG series and watching them on my iPod back in college 😂

@alextatem @AntiDoc (Really really hoping that was meant to be a red vs blue reference haha)

@bprice_do @AntiDoc

@alextatem @AntiDoc But now we know humans have plastic in them so even drinking blood directly from someone has plastic. Shame really.
