GLP-1 medications are helping many Americans take control of their health. But, did you know there is a possible link between GLP-1s and vision loss and possible blindness? Dr. Lauren Dyak, president of the Georgia Optometric Association, offers important information about the warning signs. Remember, if you’re going on a GLP-1, you should have a comprehensive eye exam before you start the therapy and have regular exams throughout treatment. Ask your doctor of #optomery for more information. Read more at https://bit.ly/GOAGLP-1s #BeVisionSmart GOAeyes.com

What actually makes a children’s hospital “top”?

I recently interviewed Jennifer Winston from U.S. News & World Report about how children’s hospitals are ranked, and I think there is a lot here that parents should know.

It is not just about having well-known doctors.

The rankings also look at things like specialized pediatric resources, safety and care processes, outcomes, and support for children and families.

And one of the most important reminders for parents:

Even if your child is not being treated at a top-ranked children’s hospital, pediatric specialists collaborate across hospitals all the time.

You can always ask:

**“Is there another specialist you could consult?”**

Sometimes getting the right care is not about being in the “best” hospital.

It is about making sure the right people are part of the conversation.

What happens when food just… doesn’t feel the same anymore?

For some people taking GLP-1 medications, the change isn’t only about feeling less hungry or thinking about food less. Food may also feel less rewarding or pleasurable - something being described as “food anhedonia.”

And when food has played a role in comfort, celebration, connection, coping, or even just something you look forward to, that shift can feel more complicated than we sometimes acknowledge.

I spoke with @usnews about the psychological side of this experience and why changes in our relationship with food can impact more than what or how much we eat.

As with so many things related to GLP-1s, experiences vary- and noticing a change doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong. But it IS information worth paying attention to.

Grateful to be included in this important conversation.

Have you noticed your relationship with food change - whether from a GLP-1, a life transition, or something else? Share 👇

Did you know that vasomotor symptoms (like hot flashes and night sweats) are directly linked to cardiovascular disease risk?

Here’s what the latest research tells us:

Starting hormone therapy (HT) earlier in the menopausal transition leads to better cardiovascular outcomes.

The Numbers: Recent data highlights that starting HT within 10 years of menopause—particularly for Black women—is associated with up to a 22% reduction in cardiovascular risk.

How It Works: While HT is not prescribed as a primary preventative treatment for heart disease, estrogen plays a crucial role during the transition by supporting endothelial function—helping blood vessels remain elastic, flexible, and healthy.

The Takeaway: If vasomotor symptoms are disrupting your day or night, don’t suffer in silence. Seeking timely treatment not only improves your quality of life today but supports your overall long-term cardiovascular health. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether HT is right for you!
