STORY AT-A-GLANCE Not all plant-based foods support heart health — ultraprocessed items may actually increase cardiovascular risk despite their “vegan” label A large French cohort study of over 63,000 adults found an approximately 40% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk when participants ate minimally processed, nutrient-rich plant foods There was also a 38% increase in overall […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Vitamin D and magnesium work together to regulate muscle contraction, energy production, bone strength, and recovery, forming a nutrient pairing that determines how effectively your body responds to training Research consisting of professional and Olympic sports shows widespread vitamin D and magnesium deficiency, which raises injury risk, slows recovery, weakens strength, and reduces […]

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 160 million children and teenagers ages 5 to 19 are now overweight or obese A new study from the University of Gothenburg collected data from nearly one million Swedish men and found that obese teenagers are […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE People with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis carry higher levels of micro- and nanoplastics, which intensify gut inflammation and make flares harder to control An inflamed gut absorbs plastic particles more easily, allowing them to enter tissue, overstimulate immune cells, and worsen both local and whole-body symptoms Smaller plastic particles cause greater harm […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Nearly 90% of U.S. health care spending now goes toward chronic disease, much of it driven by dietary guidance that favored processed foods over real, nourishing meals The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans reverse decades of low-fat advice and no longer treat saturated fats from whole foods as dietary threats Highly processed foods […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE ADHD medication use has risen sharply across all ages, especially among adults, signaling a major shift in how attention problems are identified and treated rather than a sudden change in human biology As prescriptions expanded to people with milder symptoms, research shows the overall benefits of ADHD drugs declined, meaning more medication does […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE The prescription drug gabapentin is now heavily prescribed to millions, despite limited approved uses and a growing link to drug-driven cascades like edema, which leads to unnecessary diuretics Aggressive off-label promotion pushed gabapentin into mainstream use, leading to millions of seniors taking it for unapproved conditions and increasing the risk of edema being […]
By: A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE SSRI antidepressants are one of the most harmful medications on the market, and because of just how many people they are given to (often for no good reason as only a minority of patients benefit from SSRIs) they have had a profound effect on the consciousness of our entire […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A McGill University study found that childhood adversity combined with altered brain insulin signaling increases metabolic disease risk in women, even before clinical signs like diabetes or heart disease appear Early stress reprograms brain regions that govern reward, impulse control, and energy balance, raising visceral fat storage and disrupting insulin sensitivity decades after […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE What you eat before and after hard workouts shapes how much internal stress your body experiences and how quickly you recover Eating carbohydrates before high-intensity training helps limit excessive stress during the workout and protects your ability to train consistently Whole foods rich in natural antioxidants support recovery after exercise without interfering with […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE New research shows that restoring glucose oxidation through the PDH enzyme — not burning more fat — is the key driver of meaningful and sustainable fat loss Obese animals lost fat while preserving muscle once PDH activity was restored, revealing a metabolic repair pathway that supports long-term weight control and higher energy Human […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Birth defects affect one in 33 babies, making them the top cause of infant death A study published in Environmental Research found that real-world PFAS mixtures can disrupt placental functions during the first trimester of pregnancy Other studies have also associated PFAS exposure with preeclampsia, changes in placental DNA, and nervous system defects […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Fear-based learning can intensify pain in people with IBD even when inflammation is no longer active, showing that emotional processing plays a major role in chronic symptoms IBD patients in remission reported significantly higher pain intensity and unpleasantness compared to healthy individuals, despite experiencing the exact same heat stimulus The brain can hold […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Modern diets hide excessive phosphate additives in ultraprocessed foods, which are absorbed rapidly and efficiently, disrupting natural mineral balance and overwhelming organs far more severely than refined sugar Industrial phosphate additives enhance texture, flavor, and shelf life, increasing total intake by 40% or more compared to natural sources, leading to widespread hidden overconsumption […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Regular energy drink use pushes your heart and blood vessels into a constant stress state that medications and fitness can’t override while stimulants remain in your system Severe blood pressure spikes and dangerous heart rhythm events have occurred in people drinking energy drinks who appeared healthy and had no prior heart disease Energy […]
