How America Got So Sick (And No, It’s Not Because We Forgot Our Vitamins)
Andrew Siegel MD 7/25/2026 There’s a line from a recent Atlantic article that stuck with me:“The health of a nation reflects the health of a democracy.” As a doctor, I read that and thought, well, that explains a lot. Because if America were a patient, the chart would be thick, the medication list would be long, and the vital signs would be… let’s call them “concerning.” We spend more on health care than any country in the world, yet we’re more tired, fatter, more anxious, […] -

A longitudinal study that followed 5,440 older adults for 14 years found that those with abdominal obesity and low muscle mass had an 83% higher risk of death than those without either condition. Abdominal obesity alone was not associated with a higher risk of death, and low muscle mass alone was associated with a 40% higher risk of death.

#Wegovy®, #Zepbound®, and similar medications continue to gain attention for effectively treating #obesity, and now there is discussion—with research underway—about their potential for improving certain #surgical outcomes.
The brand-name medications mentioned above belong to a class called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists. #GLP-1s mimic the actions of the GLP-1 hormone, which is secreted in the gut and sends an “I’m full” signal to the brain after you eat.
GLP-1 medications aren’t new. @Ozempic® (generic name: #semaglutide) received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat type 2 diabetes in 2017.
After its weight-loss effects were studied, semaglutide (at a higher dose and sold under the name Wegovy) was approved by the FDA as an anti-obesity medication in 2021, and others have since followed.
Most recently, the FDA approved Wegovy for patients with #cardiovascular #disease and obesity or overweight after a study showed that those taking the medication had a lower overall risk of major cardiac events, such as heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular-related death.
Now, some Yale Medicine surgeons believe, based on their ongoing research, that taking anti-obesity medications before and sometimes after total #joint #replacement and #bariatric #surgery can be beneficial.
“These medications have been transformative, in terms of expanding the pool of people who can safely undergo joint replacement surgery,” says Daniel Wiznia, MD, a Yale Medicine orthopaedic surgeon and co-director of the Avascular Necrosis Program.
“These anti-obesity medications are game-changers; they are changing the way people practice medicine.”
Often, patients who need a total hip or knee replacement must delay surgery until they lose enough weight to meet specific body mass index ( #BMI ) standards.
This is important in protecting the patient’s health.“Weight increases a patient’s risk of postoperative complications, including wound-healing problems, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, and infection,” he says.
However, having patients take a GLP-1 medication before surgery, as well as improving their diet, has allowed more patients to reach a safe preoperative BMI, Dr. Wiznia says.

It's unfortunate that the research article is paywalled.
From the Editor's Summary: "Pyrimidines are essential metabolites for biosynthesis but are not typically viewed as playing an important role in central carbon metabolism. Sahu et al. now report that pyrimidines influence the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase, a key intermediary enzyme between glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle and respiration. Depletion of pyrimidines led to loss of thiamine pyrophosphate (a required cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase), apparently because the pyrimidine UTP rather than ATP functions as a preferred substrate for TPK1, the enzyme that produces thiamine pyrophosphate. ..."
Some ppl report improvement in chronic health problems with thiamine or d-ribose supplementation. I've always been wary of the latter due to concerns about cancer-promotion and also neurological harms, as D-ribose increases production of advanced glycation end products.
Thiamine seems to have a biphasic dose response with respect to cancer-promotion, at least in vitro.

Small numbers of mice, but really interesting work. Metabolite-free, PEG/NaCl-preciptated material used for virome inocula.
Fecal virome transplantation is sufficient to alter fecal microbiota and drive lean and obese body phenotypes in mice https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19490976.2023.2236750
