Frequent @solomonctryls.bsky.social speaker and collaborator @zekeemanuel.bsky.social joined the Health Affairs “A Health Podyssey” podcast to discuss his new book on how to lead a longer and healthier life. Listen to the full episode today! www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/h...

Everyone agrees that the American health care system is failing. One step on the path to improving health care is site-neutral payments. Surgeries and treatment should cost the same regardless of where they’re performed. Great to discuss ways we can reform health care with Knowledge at Wharton.

Obsessing over your sleep tracker, step count, or protein intake? It's probably not adding a second to your life, and it's definitely making you more anxious.

My @nytimes.com Bestseller “Eat Your Ice Cream” is now available as an audiobook, narrated by yours truly. Whether you're commuting, cooking, or getting in a walk (Rule #5: Move It!), this is 6 hours and 50 minutes well spent. 🎧 Available everywhere now. rbmediaglobal.com/audiobook/97...

The Penn Quakers are in @marchmadnesswbb.bsky.social! Can March Madness be good for your health?

Doctors need to take on fewer patients. To reinvent health care in America, we need to decrease the patient load on primary care doctors. Great to chat with Lucy McBride about “Eat Your Ice Cream,” her upcoming book “Beyond the Prescription,” and my bullish take on AI.

When people feel powerless in a chaotic world, they find wellness as something they can control. The wellness industrial complex exploits that with expensive supplements and extreme routines. Evidence-based habits actually work.

Drexel University College of Medicine just announced a three-year medical school program. It's about time. I've been making this case for years, including in a recent @nytimes.com YorkTimes op-ed, and the evidence keeps piling up: you don't need four years to train a great doctor.

80% of New Year's resolutions fail by the end of February. How are yours going? The problem isn't that they're too difficult, it's that people try to do them all at once. As I write in "Eat Your Ice Cream," small, sustainable changes beat all-or-nothing approaches every time.

When it comes to eating well, we shouldn’t worry about getting it right 100% of the time, but following science-based advice is key. Great talking to @aarp.org about current health policy and my new book “Eat Your Ice Cream.”

Exciting news: My New York Times bestseller "Eat Your Ice Cream" is officially launching in the UK on May 7 with @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social’s Ebury Books. Evidence-based habits for living well are coming across the pond. Pre-order now. International orders can be placed using the link below.

Casual conversations have a way of turning into medical consultations when you're a doctor. That incessant asking is exactly what inspired me to write my new book “Eat Your Ice Cream.” I sat down with @inquirer.com to share what I think the wellness industry keeps getting wrong.

Price transparency is not an actual health care solution. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for price transparency. But when people need health care, price is rarely their only priority. Quality matters. And the price itself varies wildly depending on your employer and insurance plan.

Ben Franklin lived to 84 at a time when the average life expectancy was under 40. His retirement teaches us an important lesson about wellness. Staying useful, being curious about the world, and contributing meaningfully to society are keys to a happy and healthy life.

I watched speed skating at the Olympics in Milan this weekend. It was fantastic. As I write in "Eat Your Ice Cream," staying active is essential for a long, healthy life. You don't need Olympic-level training. A walk or run with a friend can do the trick. #EatYourIceCream #Health #Wellness

I recently took a four-hour pie crust class and I learned a ton. Of course, this class improves my culinary skills, but this also does wonders for my health. Read more of my tips on living a healthier life in Woman"s World Magazine. www.womansworld.com/aging/latest...

It was an honor to speak at The Vatican about healthcare, sustainability, and equity. Thank you to the Pontifical Academy for having me and for the engaging discussion on these important issues. #EatYourIceCream #Health #Wellness #Longevity #WellnessTips #Vatican

My new book has 6 simple rules to living a healthy life. But what would the 7th rule be? A good sense of humor. I feel confident in the six rules I laid out in my book, but I am glad @stevenpetrow.bsky.social asked me about my humor in his last @washingtonpost.com story.

A study of 130,000 people found that drinking coffee and tea in moderation may lower dementia risk by reducing neuroinflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. As I discuss in "Eat Your Ice Cream," simple daily habits can have significant long-term health benefits. #EatYourIceCream #Coffee

Yes, microplastics are bad for our health, but testing for them is not the answer. Research shows up to 90% of people have them in their bloodstream. Don't pay thousands to test, take precautionary measures instead – more on that in Part 2. #EatYourIceCream #Health #Wellness #Microplastics

For all the damage Trump’s done at the @fda.gov, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has become the shining star of his second term. As someone who helped design the Affordable Care Act, I have to acknowledge that CMS deserves recognition for making changes.

What does research say about health care affordability? Six findings from LDI Fellows shed light on what drives health care costs and how they impact patients ➡️ https://ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/research-updates/six-insights-on-health-care-affordability-from-penn-ldi/

Author, professor & oncologist @zekeemanuel.bsky.social's in THE BACK ROOM discussing his terrific new book about achieving happiness and longevity. We also discuss the state of healthcare in America today, RFK Jr & MAHA, the 'Wellness Industrial Complex', & more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

TrumpRx promises discounted drugs, but $199/month for Ozempic ($2,400/year) with no drug insurance benefit is still out of reach for so many Americans. Real drug price reform requires addressing the fundamental dysfunction in our pharmaceutical system. We need structural solutions.

A few weeks ago, I stopped in San Francisco for the “Eat Your Ice Cream” book tour at the @cwclub.bsky.social. Thank you to everyone who came out and to @djpatil.bsky.social for the great conversation. It was a pleasure to speak about the habits that matter for living a long and healthy life.

New research: if you like to stay up late, you may be hurting your heart. A new study from the UK found that if you’re a night owl, you are more likely to have worse health outcomes. As I wrote in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” high-quality sleep is foundational for our health. #EatYourIceCream #NightOwls

I banned phones in my @upenn.edu classroom last year, and the results were remarkable. Now, @joshshapiropa.bsky.social just endorsed banning phones from schools. There are three good reasons to ban phones in the thread below.

Being an optimist may actually keep you from getting sick. New research shows how the mind-body connection supports the immune system. As I wrote in “Eat Your Ice Cream,” we can make living well part of our everyday life, through six simple steps. #EatYourIceCream #Health #Wellness #Longevity

32% are "very worried" about their health care bills—more than groceries, rent, or utilities. People are thinking twice about calling an ambulance or even seeing their doctor because of cost. As I told @washingtonpost.com, we need comprehensive reform.

Dry January? Protein? Fiber? Got questions? We've got answers. Here's my interview w/ @zekeemanuel.bsky.social on his best selling new book Always Eat Your Ice Cream. This was super fun to do & we cover lots of ground. Hope you'll give it a watch. @cwclub.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxDU...

I wrote my new book to demystify wellness and remind people that you don’t have to be obsessed to live a healthy life. You don’t have to deprive yourself. Wellness should be something fun. Read more about my conversation with @bigthink.com. bigthink.com/books/ezekie...

After all the research I did for my new book, I changed two things in my own wellness routine: ➡️ I put more emphasis on strength training (in addition to biking) ➡️ I started reading paper books before bed Listen to my conversation with @bobkocher.bsky.social about my book "Eat Your Ice Cream."

Longevity isn't my goal. Living healthily is. My diet reflects this mentality: eggs and Greek yogurt for breakfast (yes, whole eggs), meals built around plants for dinner, and of course, dessert. Read more about my diet in the Today article: www.today.com/health/diet-...

It is always great to join @freakonomics — this time to share insights from my new best-selling book, “Eat Your Ice Cream." We cover a lot of ground. Listen to our full conversation at the link below.

75 should be the age limit for all government officials. I argued this in September 2024 in @theatlantic.com following President Biden stepping down from his re-election campaign.

Chasing perfection won't add minutes to our lives. We must find habits that we can sustain for a lifetime. I spoke with Rafaela Siewert from the @thefp.com about the philosophy of my new book and what MAHA movement gets wrong. Listen at the link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSZm...

The #1 predictor of longevity? Social relationships. More important than exercise, diet, or sleep. I spoke with Scott Simon on Open Book about why the wellness industry is wrong and what actually matters for a healthy life. Listen to the episode below.

I spearheaded the move from food pyramid to MyPlate. Here's my take on Trump's new dietary guidelines—the good, bad, and what's missing. GOOD: ✅ Limit ultra-processed foods & added sugars BAD: ❌ Push for MORE red meat MISSING: ❓ Fermented foods More in 🧵
