I am a physician, a family medicine specialist with a focus on total health, diversity, and Washington, DC.
In 2007, I decided to relocate to our nation’s capital, from Seattle, Washington, to further my interests while continuing to live in the future. I believe in open leadership, sharing, and freedom from conflict of interest.
More detail, including my official bio, is on the Portfolio page.
Thank you for using my photograph, @DCPolicyCenter, in another excellent piece about topic of poverty concentration, by Fellow David Rusk. A neighborhood can reach a critical mass of poverty because greater numbers of poor, high radioactivity families move in. However, the more common phenomenon in American society is that neighborhood poverty rates rise because low …
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It’s of a less-developed 14th Street, NW, a few cameras ago, a few photographic techniques-learned-ago, when I realized the street was going to change dramatically and best to document it when I did (2012). Sorry for the passing of Taylor Gourmet – it was cherished by Washington, DC, …
In Part 1, I described why a physician without diabetes (me) would wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM): Why I decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor as a non-diabetic physician In this post I’m going to write about the experience. The next one, about the data. Disclaimer/Caveats It’s possible/highly likely that some of my …
The most memorable quote from the evening was from Joe Biden’s father to a young Joe Biden on seeing two men embrace each other: “It’s simple, they love each other.” Isn’t this century great? Enjoy the photos. All are @CreativeCommons licensed as usual.
Thanks for publishing my photograph @ggwash. It was taken in Washington, DC (of course), on a special evening, when the cranes in the air were choreographed to music. Several notable Washington, DC people were present enjoying the dance: Enjoy. The District has made substantial investments in affordable housing in recent years, though levels are still …
Answer: No. This is true across multiple venues and pieces of scholarship. See this video clip from June, 2018’s #Food4Thought18 in this blog post: Photo Friday: Narrative Art and Exploding Myths in the era of Diabetes Reversal Zoe Harcombe, PhD (@ZoeHarcombe) is an international expert on the data and science and scientific techniques connected to …
I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic (at least I didn’t think so). Or hypertensive. Or overweight (however, I am a formerly fat person). And I decided to wear a continuous glucose monitor (see photograph above). Why? I have been learning more about diabetes prevention & reversal (something that was never taught to us in the …
This is an excellent review paper recommended to me by Mark Cucuzzella, MD, that demystifies a lot of what we were never taught about fat in the diet. As I mentioned previously on this blog multiple times, saturated fat has been exonerated multiple times in recent months, most dramatically in this exchange at Food for …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DailyFreePress, in this review of Troye Sivan’s new album. I’m delighted to see these images receiving more visibility since they were taken at Washington, DC’s @CapitalPrideDC. Just like Troye himself, helping the LGBTQ be visible through his work. 👍 Isn’t this century awesome? Source: REVIEW: Troye Sivan releases ‘Bloom,’ explores …
Thank you for publishing my photograph, @DCist. The photograph was taken in Washington, DC (of course) in the Logan Circle Neighborhood, where it’s clear the 🌎 is learning to ❤️ better. All we need to add to this completeness is a transgender pride flag emoji. Plus, here’s what Amazon would really do to D.C., Old …
Thanks for publishing my photograph @ThePittNews. I support college journalism, as well as superstars who bring their authentic selves to their craft. I wrote about @TroyeSivan’s story in a previous post, along with additional photographs. Enjoy: Thanks for Publishing my Photos, Billboard and Billboard Pride Troye Sivan’s second studio album, “Bloom,” has earned a justified …
This week’s photograph combines multiple interests (passions) into one: Washington, DC (of course) Food photography (working on getting better) Citizen science and curiosity (never ending) Nutrition, metabolic health, diabetes prevention and reversal (#ThisCenturyBestCentury) I’ve been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for 9 days. The last day of the sensor is in 1 day. I’ll be …
Here’s a good quote describing the ongoing dissonance and tension between the last century and this one:
It is interesting that the ADA recommends eating starches and sugars and then the simultaneous use of acarbose to prevent their digestion.
