  5. In a mouse experiment where obesity was induced with a high-fat diet, subsequent addition of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)--a compound found in green tea--to the diet for four weeks resulted in lower body weight, better insulin sensitivity, no hippocampal shrinkage, and better memory. The brains of the EGCG-treated mice had lower inflammation and normal cellular recycling.

  24. I watched a lot of different videos about #nutrition and #obesity and some recommend veganism, others a carnivore diet, and others a balanced meat/vegetable ###diet. What they all seem to recommend is a reduction in refined carbohydrates and sugars. So, I decided to scale back to almost nothing on carbs and processed sugars and lost 5 pounds in two weeks. I feel pretty good too.

    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, […]
