Daylight saving time means we’re springing forward into movement this weekend.

Join us for Walk with a Doc this Sunday morning:
📍 Alki Beach, meet near the Statue of Liberty 📅 Sunday, March 8 ⏰ 9:30 AM

We’ll have a brief conversation about heart health and cardiorespiratory fitness, then enjoy a relaxed walk along the waterfront together.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and longevity, and it naturally declines about 10% per decade after age 30 unless we stay active. Even simple movement like walking can make a meaningful difference.

All ages and fitness levels welcome.
 No rsvp needed, just show up!
Bring a friend and enjoy a beautiful morning at the beach.

You don’t need to train for a marathon...🏃‍♀️

But as you age, you do need enough fitness to:�• Climb stairs without stopping�• Carry groceries uphill�• Walk briskly without feeling winded

That level of effort is about 5 METs, and is the threshold associated with maintaining independent living in older adults.
�VO₂ max declines 7–10% per decade after age 30 if we don’t actively train it.

Doing nothing isn’t neutral.

At Deeds Health, we talk with patients about finding ways to optimize health that feel easy, not exhausting.

Longevity health is metabolic health. It is fitness and nutrition. 🏋️🥕🍓

Finishing my slide deck this morning. Grateful to share a little about who I am and present practical tips at the Washington Obesity Society this year. 💙

Academic medicine shaped how I think and approach medicine. Still reading trials, debating data, refining how I prescribe, and staying deeply committed to lifelong learning. 📚🧠 These days, in private practice, I usually apply my teaching skills in exam rooms instead of lecture halls.

And yes… I care a lot about making pretty slides and absolutely spend way too long on them. You’re welcome. 😂✨

If you’re a fellow clinician who loves evidence and wants to take good care of patients (and likes good design), come join us at the WOS Spring Symposium!

GLP-1s may be entering their oral era 💊
New trials suggest that high-dose oral GLP-1 medications could approach injectable-level weight loss without needles.

📊 In the OASIS-4 trial, 25 mg oral semaglutide led to ~15% weight loss 🧪 New agents like orforglipron represent a completely different, non-peptide oral GLP-1 class ⚖️ May be a great maintenance option

This doesn’t replace injectables, but it does expand access and choice in obesity care.

At Deeds Health, we follow the science closely so patients get evidence, not hype.

💊 Ozempic isn’t a vanity drug, it’s a heart-protective therapy.
 In the 2025 SELECT trial, semaglutide reduced major heart events by 20%, even in people without diabetes, a benefit on par with statins and blood pressure medications.
 That means treating obesity is treating cardiovascular disease risk.

It’s time we stop framing weight loss as cosmetic and start recognizing it as metabolic disease management.
❤️‍🔥

protection, not perfection.
