Even if you don’t like to listen to, or read about finance, economics, banking, or start-up technology companies, please listen to a good chunk of the All-in Podcast regarding this sudden bank collapse. This affects us all, even if you can’t see the reasons. Charles Tadros, M.D. March 13, 2023 Saint Louis, Missouri

Bempedoic acid (Nexletol and a combination pill called Nexlizit)…a new cholesterol lowering drug for people who don’t tolerate statins…
Cardiovascular and lipid experts don’t talk about this enough… for many years we’ve had several drugs that lower cholesterol or triglycerides but don’t improve morbidity or mortality (heart attacks, coronary artery stents, coronary artery bypass, or stroke numbers). Statins lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol and show improvements in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. ThisContinue reading “Bempedoic acid (Nexletol and a combination pill called Nexlizit)…a new cholesterol lowering drug for people who don’t tolerate statins…”
I love the planned soft landing pillows, the honest encouragement, and the positive energy. Looks like this Great Escape has been done before…

Kids
I grew up with my parents and my brothers around me all the time. There was love. At times that love revolved around right words and right actions, with occasional harsh corrections. The older I get, and the more adolescents and adults that I see for their mental health concerns, the more I recognize thatContinue reading “Kids”
So many times, our logic, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors don’t make sense…
we won’t or don’t question some of our own basic assumptions. We, willingly, continue down decision paths or pursue actions, many of which are absolutely ridiculous, even if we recognize our foolishness. In the face of all these contradictions, we still do not, or will not, stop, change course, or ask for help. Charles Tadros,Continue reading “So many times, our logic, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors don’t make sense…”
EQUANIMITY
Evenness of mind especially under stress (merriam-webster.com) If you think “equanimity” looks like it has something to do with “equal,” you’ve guessed correctly. Both “equanimity” and “equal” are derived from “aequus,” a Latin adjective meaning “level” or “equal.” “Equanimity” comes from the combination of “aequus” and “animus” (“soul” or “mind”) in the Latin phrase aequoContinue reading “EQUANIMITY”
Not having $1 vs having $1 while being in debt to someone for that $1 may look the same when we look at our balance sheets and net worth. However, they certainly don’t feel the same.
The vast majority of us have credit card debt, home loan debt, automobile loan debt, school loan debt, medical bill-related debt, gambling debt, investment margin debt, business-related debt, liens against our property, or owe money to a friend or relative. Too often, these debts last long after the joy and usefulness of the product orContinue reading “Not having $1 vs having $1 while being in debt to someone for that $1 may look the same when we look at our balance sheets and net worth. However, they certainly don’t feel the same.”
Illness and suffering, our own, as well as that of others, remind us of the miracle of life, the elevation of life through love and empathy, the wonder of nature and the universe, the superficiality of physical death, and the infinite possibilities yet to be uncovered.

The more I think about it, the more I see our personal health is a confluence of our genetics, proteomics, epigenetics, and our microbiome with these external factors: our education (general education and education specific to our own health), socioeconomic status, stress, nutrition, sleep, exercise, beliefs, love, connections, support, and priorities.
We may not have absolute free-will. It may be that certain biological forces sway our thoughts, perceptions, decisions, and actions much more than we realize. Charles Tadros, M.D. February 4, 2023 Saint Louis, Missouri
It’s fantastic if what we were trained to perform (or were educated to know) aligns very well with what we are good at performing, which, in turn, aligns well with what gives us joy when performing, which, in turn, makes us a good income, gives us financial stability, and helps grow our wealth.
Too often the subjects of our training and education are not necessarily what we are good at performing, nor do they give us joy. Even if our training, education, performing, and joy all align, such qualities do not necessarily, or automatically, translate into a good income, financial stability, or help us to become wealthy. VeryContinue reading “It’s fantastic if what we were trained to perform (or were educated to know) aligns very well with what we are good at performing, which, in turn, aligns well with what gives us joy when performing, which, in turn, makes us a good income, gives us financial stability, and helps grow our wealth.”
