#radonc is once again among the most competitive specialties, and ranks among some of the most competitive surgical subspecialties.

Many people assume eating healthy on a tight budget isn’t realistic. I understand why. SNAP benefits average about $6 per person, per day. That has to cover every meal, often with limited time, access, and resources. So we decided to show what’s actually possible. We’re eating a whole-foods diet for 7 days on about $6 per day, roughly $86 for the week, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Each meal is built around protein, healthy fats, and fiber to support steady energy, reduce cravings, and make meals more satisfying. No ultra-processed foods. No refined flour. No added sugar. Just real food that works in real life. I’ll be sharing simple, repeatable meals over the coming weeks. If you try any of them, feel free to share your version. I’d genuinely like to see what you’re making. You can find the full video and guide here: drhyman.com/pages/budget-f…

Protons: loading….. ⏳ Drs. Ken Roberts and Sajid Hossain (PGY-2) got a behind the scenes look at our new proton therapy center in Wallingford, CT. Particle therapy coming soon to a residency training program near you. Beam on. ⚡️
Gratitude is the ultimate biohack. It reduces stress, improves sleep, strengthens your immune system, and even aids digestion. The vagus nerve connects your brain and gut, gratitude activates it, calming your system. A grateful heart is essential for health.
Meta-analysis: Among patients with intermediate-, high-, or very high-risk prostate cancer, the ideal duration of ADT with radiotherapy demonstrated nonlinear benefits, with diminished gains after 12 months and variation in benefit by risk group. ja.ma/4oOZmVc
The Connecticut Proton Therapy Center is one step closer to opening after installation of the #cyclotron, a powerful 55-metric-ton machine essential to delivering #protontherapy. Once open, the center will be the first facility in CT offering treatment with proton therapy. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/news-ar… @YaleCancer @YaleRadOnc
We have lost too many people around this time of year to not say it: reach out to those you haven’t heard from in a while, ask them how they are really doing, grab a coffee a walk or a hike. Chances are, someone you know is in despair. It can make a difference.
Most of what actually heals you is not something you get at a doctor’s office. It’s how you eat, move, sleep, connect, and live.
Congratulations to President @JoeBiden for finishing RT under the care of @ASTRO_org President @NehaVapiwala @PennMedicine #radonc
The data have been conflicting re: whether/to what extent RT increases risk of 2nd malignancy in rectal cancer, but % worth counseling pts, particularly w increasing EOCRC. ~5% risk of 2nd pelvic ca (10 yr) ~5-10% for non-pelvic ca Emphasizes importance of continued vigilance
September 11, 2001, marked one of our nation’s darkest days. Few responded as bravely as New York City’s first responders. That day, the @FDNY lost 343, @PANYNJ lost 37, NYPD lost 23, and many others continue to suffer from illnesses related to 9/11. We will #NeverForget.
