Don’t wait for symptoms. Get screened. #ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth

I love doing TV segments where we can talk plainly. Today on @NBCNews, we had that type of conversation. Takeaway from today: even when lab results are normal, they don’t always tell the whole story. I always appreciate these kinds of conversations: clear, practical, and actually useful.

Back on @TODAYshow and @NBCNews Daily tomorrow Tuesday April 7 Most people get their lab results see“normal” and move on Tomorrow we break down what your labs are actually telling you and what most people completely overlook #TodayShow #NBCNews #TheCheckIn

One day you’re watching @survivorcbs Then you’re on it. And now you’re sharing the stage with people you once rooted for. Full circle. Thanks Ron Clark for hosting a great night. #Survivor #Survivor50 📸: @RobHasApodcast

I’m excited to share that I’ve signed a book deal with Johns Hopkins University Press to write The Check In. It’s about the questions that start life saving conversations about men’s health. Too often those conversations happen later than they should. More to come as this journey continues! #TheCheckIn #MensHealth

Last year I signed with a literary agent. It was a deliberate step toward something bigger. I didn’t post about it. I just started writing. As a surgeon, I’ve seen what happens when important conversations never happen. When men avoid the check-in. When families assume everything is fine. So I decided to write about the questions that start those conversations. This will take time. But some conversations are worth starting. #TheCheckIn #MensHealth

Some years build your résumé. Others build you. This year demanded both. Grateful for all of it. Photo: John Nacion

Did you catch yesterday’s segment? We confuse tired with true fatigue all the time. Listen early to what your body may be telling you. @TODAYshow

If you ever get the chance to chase a dream, I hope you take that first step. The younger me didn’t know every step to take on this journey, but he could see the path, which has led to moments like yesterday and to all the ones still ahead. @TODAYshow @NBCNews #GuestContributor #HealthExpert #ChaseTheDream #JourneyContinues

Today is my birthday. What I know for sure is this: age adds years, but life adds depth. And that depth is the true gift I celebrate today. #Birthday #Life #Gratitude #Celebration

Ever wonder what cortisol, inflammation, metabolism, and sleep debt really mean? This morning on the Today Show, I broke down the myths, the facts, and simple fixes you can use today.

Health “buzzwords” spread faster than facts. From social media to the doctor’s office, words like ‘inflammation’ and ‘detox’ sound simple but can mislead. Are they helping us…or are they just hype? Catch me this Thursday, August 28, 2025, during the 3rd Hour of TODAY (9 a.m. ET) as I break it all down. #TODAYShow #NBCNews #HealthTalk #MedicalBuzzwords #HealthMadeSimple @TODAYshow

I texted my Survivor castmates: ‘Send me 5 seconds of your life right now.’ Missing a few, but here’s what life looks like after the season. #Survivor #Survivor48 @survivorcbs

Every patient deserves this kind of conversation and this morning, I had it live on national TV a physician. From prescriptions to over-the-counter meds and supplements, we talked about why it’s worth checking if what you’re taking is still right for you. Segment coming soon but for now here’s a few behind the scenes moments from my morning at NBC on the @TODAYshow. #behindthescenes #nbc #TodayShow #doctor @NBCNews
