If your , or any other provider, isn't working with you to change your habits, movements, and lifestyle for the better going forward, you will continue dealing with the same problems, and possibly worse, over time

Optimal healing is an active process, and a joint effort between the provider and their patient. If not, the results will be suboptimal.

I've met people who have spent countless hours and tons of money trying to improve their neck symptoms, but no one has ever bothered looking at how the rest of their is effecting it.

Others who have tried everything, including injections and surgery, for their knee, but at no point were their ankle or hip examined to see if they are supporting or hurting the knee.

This is why I first look at general things like posture, gait, and ranges of motion before I start treating the joint that hurts. If we fail to look at the big picture, we could be missing a lot.

"Scientists from the Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) have identified a biological process that explains how exercise helps keep bones strong. The discovery could lead to new treatments for osteoporosis and bone loss in people who are unable to be physically active." - SciTech Daily, January 9th, 2026

For years I have been telling patients that if they have been told they are / , and they are not exercising regularly and vigorously with training as a central part of their routine, they have almost no hope of improving.

Why?

Because the bones constantly cycle through building up and breaking down in response to physical . If there is no significant physical stimulus, there is no reason to keep up quality bone production. Nature will not waste resources. This is "If you don't use it, you lose it" in the human body.

The scientists discovered that this specifically happens because of a protein they described as an "exercise sensor". The protein is called Piezo1, and they are now looking at it as a target for developing medical treatments to achieve the same effects as exercise. They claim that "This insight points to the possibility of developing drugs that reproduce the effects of exercise, which could benefit older adults, bedridden patients, and people with chronic illnesses who face an elevated risk of fractures"

This sounds like noble work. I really hope it is only used to help those who absolutely need it. Unfortunately, if they are successful at developing "exercise in a pill", I think it will end up being recommended to just about everyone alongside other drugs, like GLP-1 receptor agonists (eg Ozempic, Wegovy). Why? Because the pharmaceutical industry thrives on selling people convenience, whether or not they have proven that long term benefits outweigh potential drawbacks.

In the meantime, if you wish to remain as functional and healthy in body and mind as you possibly can, you must exercise regularly and vigorously. Include strength training in your exercise regimen for best results.

Magnesium is a cofactor in just about every metabolic process in the body

Studies suggest that around 45-50% of Americans are magnesium deficient, and some sources say that up to 75% have inadequate intake. deficiency can contribute to symptoms ranging from and to abnormal heart rhythms and .

The American population desperately needs to get this number up.

This is just one of the possible nutrient deficiencies that can occur with the use of these "weight loss" drugs. People considering using them must be careful not to cause themselves new problems while trying to lower the number on their scale

Stay well, friends

"Weight loss" is not currently a goal of mine, but this is a prime example of why you need to learn to read labels if you are trying to achieve a healthier body composition.

This Vietnamese cold brew coffee drink contains 460 calories in a 16 Oz bottle. For context, the average light beer contains 90-100 calories per 12 Oz serving. Calories that you drink can be insidious and add up very quickly, especially if they are delicious.

Stay well, friends

I've been skeptical of these drugs from the start. Making real, lasting lifestyle changes is difficult, but necessary for the best longterm outcomes. Trying to take short cuts will almost never take you where you want to go. Even if they do, it probably won't last

I am fully in support of the new food pyramid. In my opinion, it is long overdue.

Nutrition was a core part of the curriculum at my college. I have completed a few hundred hours of post grad study on diet, , and lifestyle modifications as therapy. My education has taught me that the old food pyramid was a recipe for illness and disability. The new one has the potential to improve metabolic on a large scale, and produce a healthier population in body and mind.

It's a new day, and I am very happy for it
