Rule #2 about wellness:

It’s not about perfection. Building a healthy lifestyle means creating habits you can live with every day, not chasing impossible standards.

Rule #1 about wellness: don’t sweat the small stuff.

Too many people obsess over minor changes that will not have a real impact on long-term health and wellness.

I discuss this in my forthcoming book “Eat Your Ice Cream.” Pre-order it here:

The Zeke Bar won Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards! Finally, an award that rewards not my mind, but my taste (and an honor that maybe my grandkids will care about). Thanks for the incredible partnership, Askinosie Chocolate! Next batch coming mid-fall 2025.

When patients get better provider info from Google than their own insurers, the system is broken. Great to see CMS exploring a national provider directory. This is the kind of admin streamlining we need to reduce costs without compromising care.

Did you know a hip replacement could cost you $20K or $98K in the same city? In a new @nejm.org Catalyst study focused on physician intervention, we found that even modest referral changes can result in huge cost savings.

Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" just exempted critical treatments like Keytruda, which made Merck over $29B in 2024, from Medicare negotiations. This will cost the govt billions. If you believe in the "art of the deal," why not negotiate the best deal for cancer patients?

Standing where the fight for independence began – at the Battles of Lexington and Concord's 250th anniversary – was an honor and a reminder that to keep our republic and democracy strong and vibrant takes all of us.

I spent yesterday in Springfield, MO with Askinosie Chocolate roasting a batch of experimental beans for my new chocolate bar, Zeke Bar IV. Like its creator, it hits you with a bold tartness, then comes through with nice, sweet (chocolate) tones and has a little bit of nuts! 🙂 Coming soon.

Yesterday was a big day for American democracy, and I spent it in the room where it happened – and began: Philadelphia's Independence Hall.

It is incumbent on us all to uphold the values our Founders set forth in the documents drafted here.

I joined the Milken Institute's recent Future of Health Summit to discuss how we can tackle one of healthcare’s biggest problems: pricing.

The solution? Standardize the system and hold providers accountable for cost-effective care. Bold reform is essential!
