The FDA just made a move that could reshape how peptides are used in medicine.
It’s not a green light—but it could change access and oversight. There’s a lot of nuance here. I break it down in this video.

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but the conversation isn’t that simple. They can be effective, but they also come with trade-offs.
Curious about your thoughts... breakthrough or overhyped?

Daylight Saving Time harms your sleep and health. Here's how. #DitchDST #DST #Sleep #Health
@SaveStandard @DitchDst @foundmyfitness @hubermanlab @DrJackKruse
Even President @realDonaldTrump has gotten behind this in the past. We just have to keep making noise about this. @SecKennedy
Long time coming, but thrilled to share our latest publication in @JPRAS (Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery). This is based on research from my postdoctoral fellowship at @JohnsHopkins in 2018.
Here are the key insights:
• Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide.
• Many women with breast cancer undergo mastectomy (removal of breast tissue) as part of their treatment.
• After mastectomy, reconstructive surgery to recreate the breast is an option for many women, but not everyone who may be eligible gets it.
Why? There are many factors involved. Some are clinical, but some are socioeconomic.
And while it's inevitable to delay reconstructive surgery in some cases, many delays are due to inadequate counseling, limited access to care, and demographic factors. For example, in our study, African-Americans experienced longer average delays to final reconstruction.
Importantly, our research found that quality of life outcomes decrease for each day of delay in reconstruction.
Timely access to reconstructive surgery can significantly improve quality of life for breast cancer survivors. Addressing barriers—through better counseling, improved access, and strong provider-patient communication—can make a real difference.

Thanks for the repost, @6state! You can listen to a podcast episode where we discuss this research here: open.spotify.com/episode/2Y7…
It's time to ditch DST. It's not good for sleep or health. 🪓
If you’re interested in learning more about the negative health consequences of DST on sleep and health, we did a deep-dive looking at all the research on this topic. You can read it here: juniper.life/post/rethinking…
🚨 Fix your tool, @AIoriginality. Your assessments can have serious professional and academic implications and it's unacceptable for a paid product.
I recently wrote original content for a client who expressed concern that what I had submitted was AI-generated. In fact, the AI detector he used, Originality.ai, was "90% confident" that the content was AI-generated.
I ran the same content through another AI detector, @Copyleaks. The score: 0%.
How could there be such discrepancy between two platforms designed for the same purpose?
I decided to do an experiment myself.
I uploaded content I wrote before the advent of AI. The result was shocking. Once again, Originality was "53% confident that text is AI-generated."
I wanted to share this as a cautionary tale for people using AI detectors. These tools are far from reliable and it would be ill-advised to make important academic or professional decisions based solely on their results.

How does daylight saving time (DST) affect human health and wellness?
In this article, I delve into DST and its implications for health, showing why it's perhaps time to rethink this outdated practice: juniper.life/post/rethinking…
You know you've made it when a phenomenon is named after you. The "Haidt effect" is doing a lot of good. 💯
Phone-free schools would do so much more for the education, creativity, and productivity of America's kids than would banning sleepovers. We've already done so much to make childhood less fun. Give them more (phone-free) sleepovers!

Are #ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists miracle drugs or a ticking time bomb? 🤔💊
German entrepreneur @C_Angermayer calls it "outsourced discipline." But what does this intriguing phrase mean?

So pumped about this! I think there's finally political will that's aligned with a vision for a healthier nation. 🇺🇸 #MAHA @RobertKennedyJr
I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
