Kip Hallman reposted thisKip Hallman reposted this***Warning: Sarcastic Cybersecurity*** A CISO walked into an empty conference room and wiped off the Guest network password from the middle of the white board. A week later, the CISO walked into that same conference room and removed the printed out pieces of paper with the guest network password laid out all over the room. A weekly later, the CISO walked into that same conference room and used scissors to take down the newly laminated guest network password on the front side of the podium. One week Later, the CISO walked into the conference room, pulled up a chair, put his feet on the table, and cracked a corona without a password in sight. The security guard saw this and asked him what he was doing. He answered "I am celebrating changing the guest password to "StopWritingThisPasswordDownPleaseOrI'llMakeItEvenLongerToType!" ***Warning: Sarcastic Cybersecurity***

Thanks for taking this on...Looking forward to Scale v DEXA Part II. 🤙

Kip Hallman liked thisKip Hallman liked thisI tested 7 of the newest consumer body-composition scales against DEXA. The results surprised me. This was an independent study with no industry funding or manufacturer involvement. I could not find another head-to-head comparison of these current models, so this gave us a chance to generate some genuinely new data. I partnered with Patrick at DexaSlim: https://dexaslim.com/. We recruited 19 volunteers, including men and women ages 22 to 66, with DEXA body-fat percentages ranging from 15.7% to 40.3%. Each participant completed a DEXA scan and then, during the same visit, completed measurements on the consumer scales. We used a predefined analysis, retained all readings in the dataset, excluded only prespecified flagged measurements from the primary analysis, and ran sensitivity analyses and paired statistical comparisons. The full participant-level data and statistical results are in the images. The biggest surprise was the $23 Etekcity. It was the simplest device we tested and the only one without hand electrodes, yet it finished just behind the top-ranked $479 Tanita RD-545. On average, Tanita was 10.0% off from DEXA and Etekcity was 13.6% off. Among participants measured by both devices, the difference in absolute error was small and not statistically significant. At the other end, the $599 Withings Body Scan was 26.4% off from DEXA, nearly twice the error of Etekcity. Hume was 42.1% off, more than 3 times the error of Etekcity and more than 4 times the error of Tanita. And all 7 scales underreported body-fat percentage relative to DEXA on average. Higher price, more hardware, and heavier marketing did not guarantee better agreement with DEXA. This is a small independent study, not the final word. But the results were consistent enough across our analyses to give me much more confidence in which devices performed well and which did not. And this is only half the story. Next week, I’ll share the second part of the study, where I looked at how these same scales performed at measuring muscle. So if you’re thinking about buying one, stay tuned. #Longevity #BodyComposition #DEXA #HealthTech #PreventiveMedicine #DigitalHealth #EvidenceBasedMedicine

Kip Hallman reacted on thisKip Hallman reacted on thisThis picture breaks my heart in a way I can’t fully explain. This was the last picture I ever received of my son, Jonathon. Look at him. He’s smiling. He’s holding his daughter. He looks okay. Less than a week later, he was gone. That is something I desperately want people to understand about veteran suicide: our veterans don’t always show us what they are going through. There isn’t always an obvious cry for help. There isn’t always a warning that makes everyone stop and realize something is terribly wrong. Sometimes there is a smile. Sometimes there is laughter. Sometimes there is a picture that looks completely ordinary. And sometimes, behind all of that, there is a battle we cannot see. I have looked at this picture countless times over the years, wondering what was behind that smile. What was he carrying that I couldn’t see? What did I miss? I can’t change what happened to Jonathon. But I can keep telling his story. That is why Jon’s Mission for 22 exists. We talk about veteran suicide because silence does not save lives. We remind veterans and their families to check in, to ask the uncomfortable questions, and to keep showing up, even when everything looks okay. Because sometimes the person smiling in the picture is the person fighting the hardest battle. Say his name. Jonathon. And please, check on your veterans. ❤️🇺🇸 #JonsMissionFor22 #VeteranSuicideAwareness #SayHisName #VeteransMentalHealth #YouAreNotAlone #EndTheSilence #MissionFor22

Kip Hallman liked thisKip Hallman liked thisIt was a great pleasure to meet Professor Evelyne Bischof at the Human Longevity Clinic in Beijing. Evelyne is one of the world’s leading physicians in longevity and precision medicine. Her ability to combine rigorous science, advanced diagnostics, and deeply personalized clinical care represents the future of medicine. I have long admired her work, her leadership, and her commitment to transforming longevity medicine into an evidence-based medical discipline that can help people live longer and healthier lives. I am delighted that we share the same mission—and even more delighted to call her a friend and colleague in advancing the future of human longevity. #LongevityMedicine #PrecisionMedicine #HealthyLongevity #PreventiveMedicine #HumanLongevity

Kip Hallman reacted on thisThis is great advice. No matter what term the good guys come up with, the term will be co-opted and the profiteers will try to find workarounds. Thus, you need to have to dive into the details of contracts, map & score contract terms, etc. I'm grateful for the incredible folks contributing to the Nautilus Health Institute PBM Field Guide which includes detailed guidance on procurement methodology, model contract language (and tips for negotiation) and data use standards. Steve Ditto did a remarkable job of harnessing the best minds in the industry (if you are one of those and haven't participated yet, please join) into the Nautilus Contract X-Ray that will be released at RosettaFest later this month. They don't get better than the folks who've already volunteered their expertise (this will never be "done" so it's never too late to join).

Then it collects five other payments from drug manufacturers it never calls rebates, so the pass-through guarantee never touches them. This is the part most plan sponsors have never seen. The leak is not in the guarantee. It is in the definition of the word "rebate." A loose definition counts only the payment a manufacturer literally labels a rebate, which leaves four other categories of manufacturer money free to flow to the PBM under different names. These line items hide outside the rebate definition on most of them. Same manufacturer money, tied to your plan's drugs, sitting one defined word away from your report. Five payments your guarantee never touches: 1. Administrative / "admin reimbursement" fees. Manufacturer money for "program administration," defined as a service fee, not a rebate. 2. Price protection payments. Paid when a drug's list price rises. The rebate definition frequently does not count them. 3. Formulary placement / exclusivity payments. Money for a preferred slot. The clinical layer and the payment layer are rarely shown side by side. 4. Data and insights fees. Manufacturer payments for de-identified claims data on your members. Almost never inside the rebate definition. 5. GPO / rebate-aggregator service fees. The Federal Trade Commission documented the big-three PBMs' rebate-aggregating GPOs registered offshore: Ascent in Switzerland, Emisar in Ireland, Zinc. Fees can be taken at that layer before the pass-through to your plan even begins. Your contract still says 100%. 100% of whatever is left after the PBM paid itself first. Read your rebate definition, not your rebate guarantee. The gap between them is the money you never see. Save this before your next rebate-guarantee conversation. #PBMTransparency #Rebates #SelfFundedEmployers

Kip Hallman liked thisKip Hallman liked this2026 is being called the year of peptides. I want to be honest with you: it scares me. I’m not talking about insulin, glucagon, human growth hormone, GLP-1 agonists, even though those are all peptides. They are rigorously tested, FDA-approved, and prescribed by physicians with known safety profiles. What concerns me is a different category of peptides. A wave of compounds with limited animal data and even more limited human data, sold online as "for research use only," and increasingly injected by people who treat that label as a technicality rather than a warning. Here is the reality. If a product is not FDA-approved, nothing guarantees its sterility. Nothing guarantees what is actually in the vial. Anyone with a peptide synthesizer, which you can purchase, can manufacture and sell these compounds online. The barrier is chemistry knowledge and a credit card. I have seen what happens when this goes wrong. Two individuals required emergency care this year, one in an ICU, following an adverse reaction to an unapproved peptide at a meeting called RAADfest. The incident was not widely covered. But imagine if it had ended differently? Headlines like this set back serious science that could eventually help millions. We have people operating in this space who are acting irresponsibly. Prescribing, or more accurately selling, powerful compounds to people who are trusting them with their health. I am not cynical about longevity medicine. I believe this field will produce real, meaningful advances in human healthcare and longevity. But that outcome depends entirely on rigor, evidence, and the willingness to say clearly when something has not been proven safe. Before you inject anything that is not an approved drug, ask one question: What human safety and efficacy data exists for this specific compound, at this specific dose, from this specific source? If the answer is unclear, you have your answer. Follow me at Eric Verdin and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging evidence-grounded perspectives on what the science actually supports.
