President Donald Trump is approaching his 80th birthday, and his cognitive health has been under public scrutiny. The White House declared him in 'excellent health,' but a medical expert disagrees, citing concerns about his BMI and other health metrics.
Board-certified sports and family medicine physician Dr. Jesse Morse examined Trump's numbers and flagged several issues, including a BMI of 29.7, which indicates he is 'overweight, likely obese.'
Dr. Morse also pointed to Trump's high homocysteine level, low Vitamin B12 level, and low Vitamin D level as potential health concerns. He suggested that Trump's chronic statin use may be depleting his CoQ10 levels and 'destroying his mitochondria.'
Trump's latest physical, carried out at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, was detailed in a three-page report authored by White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella. The report states that Trump has 'strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function' and is 'fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.'
However, Dr. Morse raised questions about the legitimacy of the report, suggesting that some numbers may have been altered for public release. He ended his post with a pointed question: 'The ultimate question is how many of these numbers are legitimate vs. altered because they were knowingly going to be publicly released?'
