None! The FDA approved 503a & b compound pharmacies that have ovaries, will continue to supply their current patients, but will pause accepting new patients until the shortage resolution has been deemed false…which we all know it is and a mafia move by Eli Lilly.

Read this carefully - they included loopholes: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-clarifies-policies-compounders-national-glp-1-supply-begins-stabilize)

This ONLY (and I’m convinced temporarily) affects Tirzepatide, not any other GLP1.

Even through the worst of shortages and supply chain issues (which the FDA mentions here), Eli Lilly has been pressuring the FDA to declare the shortage over.

If you ask why, follow the $$$ (who is making it and who is losing it).

Do not panic. They are counting on our fear. I have ovaries, so I don’t scare easily especially when it involves the health of my patient.

Too often we are instructed on how to give ourselves enough so that we something left to give others, but why?

Why isn't giving ourselves our best the only goal and let the universe's chips fall where they may?

"You can't pour from an empty cup"...why must we pour at all? Let people sip on what you want to give and when you want to give it.

"Put your oxygen mask on first before helping others"... when was the requirement made that in helping ourselves, we are then expected to help others.

I know there are some who have read this and think "this sounds really selfish", then ask yourself why? Where did that message develop?

Or look at it as this: Being generous with ourselves, creates the freedom to be generous to others, because that's what happens with abundance, it automatically overflows onto those around us.

When a cup is full, it's content splashes out when moved and spills out when continuously filled.

I am featured in a MedScape article on healthcare health.

Good nutrition is a challenge for medical pros, so we asked physician experts for real-life, doctor-tested eating solutions.

Someone asked me today, how I became the doctor that I am.

I told them that when I was in the throws of panic and fear because of a health crisis, I went to my physicians needing a hug, and instead got a hammer.

Instead of gentle understanding and support to help me control my insulin-dependent diabetes, class III obesity, and survive my CHF, I was hit with blame and shame.

I decided that if I survived (which was no guarantee) and the well enough to return to Medicine (which was even more farfetched at the time), I would be the doctor I needed when I needed one most.

So when people ask me what type of doctor I am, in my mind I think "I am the doctor that provides a soft place to land for those who are falling into despair when all their efforts to be healthy don't seem to be working" - too much.

So instead I say "I am the best kind"...and let them play on those words in any way they like.

The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when a person's limited of knowledge and skill in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence.

By contrast, this effect also drives those who excel in a given area to think the task is simple for everyone, leading them to underestimate their abilities.

Another article contribution.
It is humbling that when writers for well respected publications have questions about GLP1s, I am on a short list of physicians they seek out.

Being considered a thought leader has its privileges and responsibilities.

When physicians on GLP-1s for weight loss disclosed that fact, patients on the drugs said they feel understood, less judged, and not shamed. They may also be more likely to follow the care plan.

I have said many times, health doesn't have a size, but it doens have an expirations date. RIP Mandisa. I hope your life and death can be used to make more understand the seriousness of having obesity and the need for access to education, medical care, and treatment.
