(I have not met, diagnosed or treated anyone in this video)

Lipedema is finally getting the attention it deserves—thank you to Doja Cat for bringing visibility to a condition that is so often misunderstood.

This is not “just weight gain.”
Lipedema is a chronic medical condition involving abnormal fat distribution, most commonly in the legs, that does not respond to diet and exercise in the same way as typical adiposity.

Common signs include:
• Disproportionate lower body
• Pain or tenderness
• Easy bruising
• Feeling of heaviness
• Feet typically spared

Too many patients are dismissed or told to “just lose weight,” which delays diagnosis and appropriate care.

Early recognition matters. A comprehensive approach—including compression, lymphatic support, and individualized treatment—can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.

If this sounds familiar, consider evaluation with a clinician experienced in lipedema. Schedule a phone consultation at www.mmweightloss.com

Jokes aside, there’s a lot of “Wellness Influencers” causing a lot of unnecessary fear about food. Please get your health advice from people with the training and education.

Also FYI only Registered Dietitians (RD) have years of education on nutrition. Anyone can do a couple hours of online courses and call themselves a “nutritionist” or “coach”.

♻️ Safe Medication Disposal Matters 💊

Properly disposing of medications keeps everyone safer—your household, sanitation workers, and the environment. 🌎

Always check your local county or city guidelines for the most accurate instructions. In NYC, guidance is available from the Department of Sanitation and NY State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Sharps (needles, syringes, lancets, scalpels):
🩹 Place in a sharps container or a leak-proof, puncture-resistant container (like a laundry detergent bottle).
🔒 Seal tightly and label “HOME SHARPS.”
🗑️ Place in the trash. Do NOT recycle or flush.

Medications:
🚫 Never flush medications down the toilet or drain.

Instead use:
💊 Pharmacy take-back programs
📍 Pharmaceutical drop-off locations

At home option:
➡️ Mix medication with used coffee grounds or kitty litter, seal in a container, and place in the trash.

Obesity care should be evidence-based, ethical, and medically supervised 👩‍⚕️

If you’re considering GLP-1s or weight loss treatment, watch for 🚩:
• Minimal provider interaction
• Non–FDA-approved “GLP-1” drops or pills
• Overpriced supplements or unproven peptides
• No real medical monitoring

You deserve compassionate, science-backed care ❤️

If weight loss is your New Year’s resolution, the scale isn’t the goal.

Small, sustainable habits matter—and for some, medical support does too.

You deserve evidence-based care, compassion, and goals that support your health long-term. 💙

Oral Wegovy is coming in 2026 👀💊

The OASIS-4 trial showed an average 13.6% total body weight loss over 64 weeks 📊

Estimated cash pricing ranges from $150–$300/month 💵

More treatment options mean more flexibility for patients ✨

This is progress—but affordability and broader insurance coverage still matter 🧠💙

Holidays can be a joyful time—but they can also come with a lot of expectations 🎄✨

Protecting your mental and emotional health matters 🧠🤍 Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

You may not wear a vest that says “I Need Space,” but you can create your own safe spaces 🛑💛—by staying close to people who understand your comfort level and can act as buffers, or by stepping away from situations when you need to 🚶‍♀️🌿

Honor what you need this season 💫
Happy Holidays 🎁✨

🦠Cold/COVID/Flu season is peaking across the state.

Keep yourself and those more vulnerable around you safe by getting vaccinated if you haven’t already, wearing masks (especially in densely populated areas), and frequently washing your hands.

Stay warm & healthy!! ☕️

📣BREAKING NEWS!!📣

Another step in making weight loss medications more affordable and hopefully more accessible: NovoNordisk announced the cash price of Wegovy (semaglutide) is decreasing to $349 from $499.

It wasn’t long ago the cost was $650 with a coupon, so there has been significant decreases in the price.

Hopefully this will make it so more insurance companies will start covering the cost of these treatments and available to the most vulnerable populations 🤞

💊 Breaking GLP-1 Update

The administration announced a new deal to lower the cost of popular weight-loss medications Wegovy and Zepbound.

💰 New Pricing (via TrumpRx):

Wegovy & Zepbound: $350/month (expected to drop to $250 in 2 years)

Future oral GLP-1 pills: starting at $149/month up to $350

🧾 Medicare Coverage:
The administration claims Medicare and Medicaid will begin covering GLP-1s for obesity, but details remain vague. Federal law currently prohibits Medicare from covering medications solely for weight loss — though a pilot program may expand access for patients with heart disease, kidney disease, or severe obesity.

Experts say lower prices could help many people — but access and coverage details are still unclear.

👁️ Eye Health & GLP-1 Medications 💉

Let’s talk about eye conditions that may be associated with GLP-1 medications 👇

1️⃣ Diabetic Retinopathy
In people with diabetes who already have eye damage from high blood sugar, a rapid drop in glucose can temporarily worsen retinopathy.
Since GLP-1s lower blood sugar quickly, it’s important to screen for diabetic retinopathy before starting and monitor closely after.

2️⃣ NAION – “Eye Stroke”
NAION (Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy) happens when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked, causing sudden vision loss in one eye.
Current studies are retrospective — meaning they can’t show cause and effect. Some show a possible link, others do not. More research is needed.

Risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea — all common in people with obesity.
📖 Refs: PMID 38958939, 39491755, 40146102, 40015592

⚖️ The overall risk appears low, but screening and treating underlying conditions are essential.
