Most of what I know about the body never fits inside a visit.
A visit is an hour, and the hour goes to your labs and your plan, as it should. Everything else gets said in the hallway or not at all: the recipe that actually gets made on a Tuesday, the thing that finally helped someone sleep, why a body defends its weight after a decade of doing everything right. Power Partners is the hallway. It is free, it is small on purpose, and you do not have to be a patient to be in it.
I wrote a short book on why the body defends its weight. Sixty pages, eight chapters. We read it one chapter a week, and every Monday I post the chapter with one question. Chapter one goes up Monday, September 14.
You can also read the whole book today, free, no login.
A thread for the things that never make it into a visit. Recipes people actually cook. What helped someone sleep. What did nothing at all. You can post, or you can read along. Most people read for a while first, and that is fine.
Twice a week I write something short, in my own words, about what I see in practice and what the research actually says. Sleep, hunger, stress, the things a standard report does not explain. No handouts pasted in. No lectures.
It is not medical care, and I do not answer personal medical questions in the room. That is on purpose. Anything about your body deserves your history and your labs in front of me, and a public thread cannot give it that. Anything personal goes to [email protected] or a visit.
Nothing in the room costs anything, and nothing in it asks you to book.
