We are thrilled to announce a new social media series here at TJACSM where we highlight some of our wonderful Editorial Board members and Associate Editors. For our first installment we are pleased to introduce Editorial Board member, Rian Landers-Ramos, PhD, CSCS! *updated*

Diagnostic criteria for adult #MASLD: hepatic steatosis PLUS ≥1 metabolic trait, excluding secondary causes. Traits include ↑BMI/waist, ↑glucose or #T2D, ↑BP, ↑TG, or low HDL. Distinguishes isolated steatosis vs #MASH. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Current perspectives from U.S. FDA on NITs as alternatives to biopsy in MASH drug development. Elastography, blood tests, and combo tests are key to enhancing trial recruitment and patient experience while maintaining regulatory standards. journals.lww.com/hep/abstract/9…

A press release from UNC School of Medicine tells us #JunkFood can scramble memory in just four days! All this from a study of mouse neurons and high-fat food pellets. Great clickbait if we overlook the element of #hype. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/junk-f…

Obesity in older adults is rising, and semaglutide & tirzepatide can bring significant weight loss and better heart, liver, and kidney health. Risks for older adults are muscle loss and functional decline. Policy must prioritize coverage + clinical trials for seniors to ensure

We increasingly understand obesity as a brain-based disease. This review by Zagmutt et al., 2025 maps how subtle inflammation in the hypothalamus evolves over time offering a clearer picture of when and how metabolic regulation begins to fail. 1/5

1. The Early Spark: within hours of high-fat feeding, the hypothalamus shows local, transient activation of glia and cytokines. It’s an adaptive signal—an early attempt to sense and buffer nutrient overload before systemic inflammation develops. 2/5

How to incorporate exercise by condition Citation: Pedersen BK, Saltin B. Exercise as medicine – in 26 different chronic diseases. Scand J Med Sci Sports. 2015;25(Suppl 1):1-108. doi:10.1111/sms.12438.

💊+📷= Medicine. In our latest @TheLancetLongevity paper we argue: 👉 “Exercise prescription is medically indicated, professionally implemented, and clinically monitored.” It’s time to integrate exercise into medication management for older adults. Read here ➡️
