So inspired at #WebSummitLisbon2025
Hearing stories on nuclear fusion, robotics, etc made me realize: innovation starts w diagnosing hurdles & designing💡 solutions. The same mindset applies in health — building systems that make lasting change possible.

Coach recruited to accelerate my learning curve in #KravMaga. He also trains fighting, not just strength training, which was a great discovery for me. Thank you, Pedro.

This video presents a answer to the question of how evidence-based medicine - #EBM - protects us against inflated, misleading claims of treatment effect. I’ll be posting a number of such snippets and you’ll enjoy my charming interlocutor,

In my #Krav class I’m the only woman (besides the instructor). However, women are the main targets of violence — 1 in 3 face it in life. I train hard, for myself and to inspire my daughter 🧑‍🧒‍🧒and her friends which is already happening 🫶

How can evidence-based medicine #EBM guide decisions on hormone therapy (HT) for #menopause &
#perimenopause?

Have a look at this a conversation with @guyattgh.bsky.social exploring the particular context of HT to address irritability, brain fog 🧠, and sleep 😴🔥

Had such a great time recording these snippets with you, @guyattgh.bsky.social Beyond the fun, I’m deeply grateful for your mentoring and friendship over these past five years—time really does fly. Your guidance has truly shaped me into a better clinician. #EBM

Behind the scenes with @guyattgh.bsky.social , where we trade some of academia’s pomp & circumstance 👑for a bit of humor 😎😅
But wait the topic is serious (shared decision-making on hormone therapy for #menopause, through the lens of #EBM).
Stay tuned for the full conversation 🤩

One of the best parts of in-person events is the chance to actually meet *in person* the colleagues you’ve been working with from afar.
These moments remind me that collaboration is not just about outputs, but also about people: I need this! #GIN2025

Why I never skip the gym when traveling for conferences:
Endorphins first, sharper mind after.
Healthspan is built choice by choice, day by day. Consistency matters

With rising violence against women 🤷‍♀️, learning to neutralize a threat is more than self-defense 💥 it’s reclaiming agency, while investing in healthspan.

1/ 🇵🇹 Immigrant Residency by Decree = Fragile Ground

Crossing back into #Portugal after weeks in 🇧🇷 brought discomfort. The operational backlog in processing residency permits, with a record influx of immigrants in 🇵🇹, means that many live under temporary decrees rather than secure documentation +

“Epic journeys begin with a warm welcome” — says the New York tourism ad, under the gaze of 🗽 the Statue of Liberty.

Hard not to read it with irony, given how warm the US reception often feels for foreigners lately…🤌🤯

8/ #Menopausecare has long been trapped between rigid protocols and “trial-and-error.” N-of-1 trials offer a third way: science, but personal.
It’s time we move beyond averages—and start building evidence that begins with the individual ♥️

🌐 Rethinking Menopausal Care with N-of-1 Trials 🧵

1/ Menopause is universal, but the way each woman experiences it is anything but. Hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood shifts, brain fog, bone loss—symptoms vary in intensity, timing, and response to treatment.

Thanks for tagging & for the reminder that these often neglected aspects of holistic medicine are the most important to patients

I like how you put it - ‘stability should be the start not the end-point’

Leaving behind the physician I was. “Stable” was my finish line—now it’s my starting point😍. #ILD #pulmonaryfibrosis
Earlier in my career, I focused on stability checks (CT, PFTs, symptoms). If unchanged, I reassured. In hindsight, I regret stopping there +
