Yes I am not an Eight Sleep fan though I don't really care if wealthy people want to spend a lot of money on a bed.
Certainly not a fan of TrueMed. I've written about them before. Enables HSA fraud or at least abuse

I agree with the sleeping pod and supplements, but Virta is a clinical program focused on type 2 diabetes. It started off focused on using keto diet and now they've added glp-1s because they work so well

I am interested to see whether healthcare companies terminate their relationship with Dr. Peter Attia over this.
He is an advisor to many healthcare companies including Virta, Moonwalk Biosciences, Eight Sleep as well as supplement companies like AG1.

Oh look, according to Peter Attia MD “pussy is low carb” something that is totally normal for a doctor to say to Epstein, who had previously been convicted of procuring a child for prostitution

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

People who work in media: What is going on with @latimes.com? Do they think they're a low budget CNN? What is this random live-streaming section?

NEWS: The Wegovy pill (Ozempic for weight loss) is now available. If you've been hesitant to try a GLP-1 medication out of fear of the injection, the pill may be a great option for you.
Plus it's way cheaper than the shots at $149/month (up to $299 for the highest).

Loved the concept of the "reverse salient" from @emollick.bsky.social - the step(s) in a process that hold the system back from being faster or more efficient.
