I view mental health counselors/therapists similarly to physical therapists: they are part of the treatment team and their role is to help the patient develop tools to use at home/ in their day-to-day to help with addressing their mental/physical condition. Sometimes (often?) they are all that...

Some factors we haven’t discussed that likely also contribute to the high rate of obesity in US vs other developed countries : Car culture/suburbanization/lack of good public transit in USA as compared to Japan and EU. Lack of a unified food culture and wholesale buy-in with convenience (and...

Interesting discussion. I'll share my thoughts as a prescriber: I prescribe the GLP-1 agonists and the lone GLP-1/GIP agonists to patients with diabetes without hesitation (and have for several years). They have very good data with regards to cardiac risk reduction in addition to blood sugar...

Is this in a taxable account? Has she already maxed any workplace retirement account and a Roth IRA? If not, would make sure she is taking full advantage of those before investing in a taxable account. As far as what to invest in, a total market stock index fund or ETF would be the most tax...
