Cancer care is undergoing a major shift. For decades, medicine has focused on finding cancer after symptoms appear or after a cancer has already advanced. Today, two major areas of research are pushing us toward a more proactive model: detecting cancer earlier and reducing the metabolic conditions that may increase cancer risk or progression. At the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, two topics stood out: new data on the GRAIL Galleri® multi-cancer ear

Why Advanced Heart Risk Testing May Be One of the Most Important Preventive Health Conversations This Year For decades, patients have been told to “check your cholesterol.” Most people know their LDL cholesterol, often called “bad cholesterol,” and HDL cholesterol, often called “good cholesterol.” But the newest cholesterol guidance from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association makes something very clear: traditional cholesterol testing is important,

There is growing excitement around human longevity—and for good reason. The intersection of artificial intelligence, advanced medical science, and preventive medicine is beginning to reshape how we think about aging. While headlines often suggest dramatic extensions in lifespan, the more realistic and important shift over the next 5–10 years is an increase in healthspan —the number of years we live strong, independent, and disease-free. The future is not just about living lon

Preventive medicine is one of the most powerful tools we have to extend life and improve quality of life. But there’s a growing problem: more testing is not always better . In fact, over-screening can lead to unnecessary anxiety, invasive procedures, and even harm—without improving outcomes. As a physician focused on prevention and longevity, I see this confusion every day. Patients are increasingly asking about full-body MRIs, advanced biomarker panels, and executive checkup

In recent years, full-body MRI scans have exploded in popularity. Companies like Prenuvo market these scans as a revolutionary way to detect cancer, aneurysms, and other diseases before symptoms appear. For many health-conscious individuals, the concept is appealing: spend a few thousand dollars, lie in a scanner for an hour, and supposedly get peace of mind about your entire body. But in reality, the science tells a very different story. Full-body MRI screening for healthy

By Alex Foxman, MD, FACP, ABOM Founder and Medical Director, Beverly Hills Institute Most people are familiar with menopause in women—but did you know that men experience hormone changes with age too? Often called “male menopause” or “manopause,” the real medical term is late-onset hypogonadism —a gradual decline in testosterone that can impact energy, mood, muscle mass, and sexual health. At the Beverly Hills Institute, we help men identify whether symptoms are simply par

As the holiday season fills our days with gratitude, reflection, and time with loved ones, it also invites us to look forward with hope. And when it comes to healthcare, the future has never been brighter. 🎄✨ As we head into 2026, medicine is standing at the edge of one of the most exciting transformations in modern history—driven by artificial intelligence, smarter diagnostics, and truly personalized care.

The New “Miracle” Trend Peptides and longevity injections have taken over social media—promising effortless fat loss, tissue regeneration, sharper focus, and even extended lifespan. Now, new names like BPC-157 , and NAD⁺ are promoted as “next-generation healing and anti-aging molecules.” As a physician deeply engaged in evidence-based medicine, I remain highly skeptical of these unregulated compounds and the influencers pushing them without data or accountability. Patients d

Oral health isn’t just about a bright smile or fresh breath—it may also play a crucial role in your brain health. A recent study has uncovered a surprising and serious connection: having both gum disease and cavities may significantly increase your risk of ischemic stroke and white matter changes in the brain. This discovery is yet another reminder that our bodies are deeply interconnected. As a physician focused on preventive internal medicine, I encourage all patients to vi
