What if the hardest challenges of your life were the greatest gifts you’ve ever received? 2024 has been anything but easy. It’s been a year filled with trials, unexpected detours, and moments of doubt. Yet, looking back, I can honestly say it’s been one of the most rewarding years of my life. Each hurdle faced wasn’t just an obstacle—it was a teacher. Each challenge taught me lessons I needed to learn to become the person I aspire to be and to build the life I dream of living. But here’s the truth: none of these victories, no matter how small or significant, would have been possible without one critical factor—my health. Our ambitions, no matter how big, rely on the vessel that carries us forward: our bodies. A tired, neglected body can't fuel dreams or withstand the storms life throws at us. Prioritizing my physical and mental health allowed me to show up stronger, bounce back faster, and achieve milestones I once thought impossible. Now, as 2024 draws to a close, I feel nothing but gratitude. Goals have been achieved, and new ones are beginning to take shape. But one thing remains constant: the need to protect and nurture the health that fuels it all. What about you? Are you giving your body and mind the care they deserve to carry you toward your goals? At Curo Care, we believe health isn't just about avoiding illness; it's about empowering you to reach your fullest potential. Because when you take care of your health, the rest of your life aligns more effortlessly. Here's to embracing every challenge, cherishing every lesson, and stepping into a future built on strength and well-being. Let’s make 2025 even brighter! 🌟 #HealthIsWealth #Gratitude #LessonsLearned #CuroCare

Last week we hosted our annual Hannover Re | Curo Health seminar, discussing modern obesity medications GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists. I handled the first talk looking at some basic physiology around metabolism, insulin resistance, a deep dive of the literature regarding these medications and how we can underwrite applicants using these medications. Richard Botha from Curo Health gave some great insights on the synergistic role that improved diet and exercise play in enhancing the efficacy of these medications, and improving health.   I’ve been a long-time advocate for lifestyle modifications as a key to health, and was suspicious, even biased against these modern obesity medications like semaglutide and Tirzepatide, because the rhetoric has for a long time been around how people should just try harder to be healthier. In our modern world, particularly in a broken food/nutrition system this is extremely difficult and for some people, impossible. Over the last 6 months, reviewing the growing body of medical literature has challenged my perspective.   In my view, the evidence is clear that these medications are remarkably effective for weight loss, but what is more compelling is that their impact is magnified when combined with exercise and calorie restriction, as demonstrated in the study protocols. This synergistic effect is undeniable, highlighting that medication and lifestyle are not opposing approaches but powerful partners in addressing obesity, and the associated complications.   On a personal note, re-evaluating my own bias has reinforced a key lesson, staying open to new evidence and challenging the status quo is critical in medicine and life. It’s not about choosing one path over another but finding ways to integrate the best of both.   #ObesityTreatment #Semaglutide #Tirzepatide #LifestyleMedicine #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ExerciseAndHealth #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareLeadership #HealthAndWellness #Lifeinsurance

From practical tips to personalized support, we’re here to help you maintain control of your health—without missing out on the joy of the season.

Next week, 4 December, I will presenting alongside Richard Botha from Curo Health, discussing modern obesity medications, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, as well as the crucial role that diet and exercise play in metabolic health. Spoiler alert: These medications are not a silver bullet but when combined with diet and exercise can have wonderful benefits. Crucial questions around how we assess life insurance applicants who are using these medications will be one of the key take aways. #metabolichealth #lifeinsurance #riskassessment You can register to attend by clicking the link below https://lnkd.in/dV6Uxdmr
