Tyler Jones, MD
Anesthesiology and Obesity Medicine
About
I bridge the gap between clinical expertise and public understanding by translating medical research into actionable insights.
I am a physician practicing both anesthesiology and obesity medicine, helping patients navigate complex health decisions through clear, accessible information.
My approach is rooted in a commitment to preventive medicine and a genuine curiosity about how we can live healthier lives.
When I am not in the clinic, I am often training as a triathlete or hiking in the outdoors, as I believe physical movement is vital to overall wellness.

Anesthesia Thoughts
I write a newsletter called Anesthesia Thoughts, where I look at the evidence behind everyday anesthesia practice. Recent issues asked whether stairs are a good way to assess METs, whether ketamine reduces delirium at low doses, and what new evidence says about holding SGLT2 inhibitors before surgery.

Manta Sleep Mask
Manta Sleep masks offer adjustability to ensure no light is leaking through around the nose. Most importantly, they do not put any pressure on the eyes (pressure on the eyeballs can lead to vision loss).
View product →Manta Pro Sleep Mask
If you're a side sleeper, I highly recommend their pro mask designed for more comfort when side sleeping.
View product →MOLDEX Soft Foam Ear Plugs
If noise is waking you up at night, you may want to try earplugs. I find these earplugs to have a great fit, and they eliminate most noise. However, some people prefer earplugs that do not stick out of their ears.
View product →Eight Sleep
Most people sleep better when the temperature is a little lower, in the mid 60s. What temperature leads to your best sleep will require some experimentation. Oftentimes, when sleeping with a partner, each person prefers a different temperature. Whether you are sleeping alone or with someone else, having a mattress cooling pad can take your sleep to the next level. I have been using the Eight Sleep for years, and I love it. This link will give you a small discount on their pod.
View product →Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs
These Eargasm earplugs are low profile enough people may not even realize you are wearing them. They have a noise reduction rating of 21 dB.
View product →HearSafe Ear Plugs
These offer a very high noise reduction rating (29 dB) and should be considered if you are going to a concert.
View product →Xero Shoes
For everyday use, I wear Xero Shoes which protect my foot while letting it feel almost like I am walking around barefoot.
View product →Injinji Toesocks
I also love wearing toe socks. By freeing up my individual toes, I am able to splay my toes and forefoot more allowing me to have better stability and improved power transfer to the ground when doing activities such as running and squatting. Injini is my favorite brand of toe socks.
View product →Altra
For running, I wear Altra shoes. These have padding, which makes the running more comfortable, yet they still have a zero drop and a wide toe box to allow my toes to perform at their best.
