The Obesity Medicine Association annual conference was really fantastic and just wrapped. A lot of good research on the value of lifestyle medicine and resistance exercise, as well as avoiding #Obesogen endocrine disrupting toxic exposures in everyday products from plastic water bottles to pesticides on produce. And of course the new GLP-1 medications are surging, showing powerful results, but the results do not last if patients stop taking them for price or side effects or other reasons... Unless combined with building up muscle mass, diet and lifestyle changes. And that's how Salvo Health is helping local physicians deliver that comprehensive standard of care.

🔍 Just completed an insightful CME on a pressing issue in diabetes care: "The T2DM patient with kidney disease – What is going wrong? How can we do better?" 📚 With the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) on the rise, it's crucial to address the intricate interplay between diabetes and kidney health. This CME shed light on the complexities, challenges, and innovative approaches in managing patients at this critical intersection. Key takeaways: 🔹 Understanding the underlying mechanisms contributing to kidney disease in T2DM patients. 🔹 Exploring proactive strategies for early detection and intervention. 🔹 Harnessing the latest research and therapeutic advancements to optimize patient outcomes. Grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge and improve patient care. Let's continue striving for excellence in diabetes management! 💡 #DiabetesCare #KidneyHealth #ContinuousLearning

What does a vascular screening show? A vascular screening is a crucial imaging test that enables medical professionals to assess the condition of your blood vessels, detecting potential issues like blockages, enlargements, clots, and malformations. This test specifically evaluates three critical vascular conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), carotid artery disease, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Timely detection and treatment of these vascular issues are vital in preventing severe outcomes such as aneurysm ruptures, strokes, and limb loss. Early intervention of vascular disorders can save lives and limbs, significantly improving health outcomes in our community. Staying proactive about your vascular health is key to reducing the risk of serious health complications and early death. Regular screenings, particularly if you have risk factors like smoking, hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol, are essential in catching problems early.
