For decades, people have talked about the toxic food environment and how it’s stacked against most people. For decades, little’s changed policy-wise, even in this #maha moment. I increasingly think there’s only one way out. That way is litigation. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/o...

This was a fantastic read. I have no interest in GLP-1s for weight loss but I'm curious about the potential prophylactic benefits against dementia/Alzheimer's. Then there's the risks to a lower immune system and how that can affect cancer risk/growth. I look forward to seeing how the space develops

#GLP1s like #Ozempic come as close to wonder drugs as perhaps we've ever had They're also meeting a really strange moment: the wellness and appearance obsessed algorithmic age @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and I talked about these 2 things colliding. Weirdness ensues www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

This is a great book! I have the audiobook and it is perfect for picking up when I don't want to get engrossed in a novel. The storytelling is well done. The protein history part is fascinating - ask people what they want to eat and then make a dietary recommendation based on that!

This week marks the release of the UK paperback of Food Intelligence, my book with @kevinh-phd.bsky.social @wildfirebooks.bsky.social A ❤️felt thank you for all your support! Our book explains why eating has become so fraught for many, and why shortages of willpower have nothing to do with it.

After being sick for over a year with what ultimately turned out to be several inflammatory conditions, I went on a GLP-1. I lost 30lbs of inflammation and all of my blood work started to trend back to where it was prior to my illness. And this was just on the starter dose!

I have a personal rule: only collaborate with people you really like. On the great Emerging Form podcast, with Christie Aschwanden and Rosemerry Trommer, I got to talk about the behind-the-scenes collab that made my book with @kevinh-phd.bsky.social emergingform.substack.com/p/episode-15...
