When your patients find out you’ve not been paid for 6 months, they drop off vegetables from their garden. Kinda nervous to see what happens during deer season ….

You shouldn’t have to lie to your doctor.

https://drstanfield.com/blogs/articles/jeremy-clarkson-says-to-lie-to-your-doctor

Jeremy Clarkson recently posted a video telling men to lie to their Doctor to get a prostate PSA test.

Don't lie to your doctor; however if you feel you need to - get a second opinion.

PSA testing for prostate cancer is interesting. When I order it I have a full risk/benefits discussion, particularly if the man needs to go on testosterone replacement.

The way that Dr. Stanfield explains decision-making in medicine is absolutely spot on. A false positive test, and all of the downstream risk that is incured can be as bad as a false negative test that misses a disease. I echo many of his concerns, for example, about whole body MRI scans, and I've seen the damage that they can do.

From a testing perspective, the key for me is the chance you have the disease BEFORE we get the test. That is best informed by taking a good history and in my experience backing that history up with standardized scores, a detailed family history and sometimes genetics. We make mistakes in medicine not because we order the wrong type of scan, but more often because we don't understand people.

The key thing is that we make decisions with our patients and not for them. I applaud Dr. Stanfield's stance on this.

Good work Dr. Stanfield.

Jeremy Clarkson recently went public about surviving prostate cancer, and he offered some blunt advice: if your doctor won't test you, lie to get the test. That clip kicked a hornet's nest. I'm genuinely stoked that Jeremy is fine. But his point about lying to your doctor doesn't only apply to prost...

Carbs in sports are ESSENTIAL. Fat immediately before a sporting event can be a DISASTER. This is a very different frame when managing carbs and fats for longevity. When we are older or not competing we need to reduce higher fructose containing foods and limit processed simple carbohydrate. Both frames are true. The athlete population is NOT the same as the older, longevity focused population. ForFitness and Athletics

It’s essential that athletes get the right food immediately before ...

Dr. Rhonda Patrick is almost the only Longevity “influencer” I follow. Every headline in her posts are a complex and nuanced synthesis of decades of experience and robust reviews of the published evidence. Everything is this video is true , and has been found in numerous studies. I use all of these interventions personally and recommend them to our patients unless there is a specific reason not to. FoundMyFitness bravo once again !
