STORY AT-A-GLANCE Motion sickness is caused by a sensory mismatch between what your eyes see, what your inner ear detects, and how your brain interprets movement — triggering nausea, dizziness, and fatigue People with migraines, anxiety, or a family history of motion sickness are more likely to develop symptoms because of increased sensitivity in the […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Modern crops often contain fewer vitamins and minerals because they’re bred for size, yield, and shelf life rather than nutrition Soil degradation from industrial farming reduces the ability of plants to absorb essential nutrients like zinc, iron, and magnesium Heirloom and heritage crop varieties generally retain higher nutrient content compared to modern hybrids […]
By: A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE It’s everywhere, but no one talks about it: Constipation is widespread, yet medicine is often at a loss over what to do, to the point 14% of American adults have constipation with no known cause.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Colon cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and increasingly affects adults under 50 in the U.S., with over 150,000 diagnoses and 50,000 deaths reported annually A recent study found that structured exercise after chemotherapy significantly reduced recurrence and improved survival in stage 2 and 3 colon cancer survivors; this highlights its […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Artificial food dyes like Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, and Blue No. 1 are petroleum-based chemicals linked to behavioral and developmental problems in children The FDA is phasing out all synthetic food dyes by the end of 2026, starting with Red No. 3, which caused cancer in animal studies but was still […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Fatty liver disease affects 1 in 4 adults globally and can silently progress to liver failure, internal bleeding, or cancer without early warning signs Higher vitamin K intake from food was linked to a 19% lower risk of death in people with fatty liver disease, according to new long-term research Even moderate vitamin […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Flowers like yarrow, fennel, and goldenrod attract beneficial insects that naturally control pests such as aphids, thrips, and caterpillars, reducing the need for chemical sprays Marigolds, nasturtiums, and alyssum act as living pest repellents and trap crops, while also supporting pollination and improving crop yield Deep-rooted flowers like borage, comfrey, and clover improve […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with natural hormone functions, mimicking or blocking signals that control metabolism, appetite, mood, and learning throughout life Early exposure to EDCs rewires the brain reward systems, causing lifelong preferences for unhealthy foods and contributing to weight gain and metabolic issues Nearly 70% of children’s diets are composed of ultraprocessed […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE New research shows omega-3s, including those from fish oil, actually increase key markers of chronic inflammation, contradicting their long-held reputation as anti-inflammatory nutrients People with poor diets and high intake of omega-6 fats like linoleic acid (LA) had the highest levels of low-grade immune stress, even when supplementing with omega-3s Higher omega-3 levels […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Bitter melon contains an insulin-like compound called polypeptide-P that helps lower blood sugar after meals, making it a valuable tool for people with prediabetes or early-stage Type 2 diabetes In a 12-week human study, bitter melon extract significantly reduced post-meal blood glucose and suppressed glucagon, the hormone that drives excess sugar release from […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Over 50 million people worldwide live with dementia, and exposure to insecticides is now under investigation as a hidden contributor A U.S. national study linked household insecticide exposure to lower memory scores in older adults, even after adjusting for lifestyle and health variables In Greece, older adults living near agricultural spraying sites showed […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A French government study found that glass bottles contain five to 50 times more microplastics than plastic bottles, mostly from the painted caps that seal them Researchers discovered that the microscopic plastic fragments in glass-packaged drinks matched the chemical makeup of the bottle cap paint, not the glass itself When bottle caps were […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Research shows rhythmic neck pulses increase cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance by 100% within an hour, reducing intracranial pressure and clearing harmful proteins Quality sleep, especially deep sleep phases, dramatically boosts glymphatic system activity, washing away Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s-related proteins from brain tissues Key drainage points include collarbone area, jaw angle, armpits, abdomen, groin, […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Simply seeing someone else eat — especially sugary or highly rewarding foods — triggers your brain to crave food, even if you’re already full This visually driven urge to eat is powered by dopamine, a brain chemical tied to pleasure and habit formation, which overrides natural fullness signals High-calorie food images activate brain […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Medical AI is evolving beyond simple question-answer formats to mimic real clinical decision-making, offering stepwise reasoning, cost-awareness, and tailored diagnostic strategies for complex cases Researchers working with Microsoft have developed the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO), a coordinated AI framework designed to simulate a full diagnostic team Using a benchmark that mirrors real […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A study conducted by researchers from the University of Finland found that melanoma risk dropped by nearly 50% with consistent vitamin D supplementation, even among individuals with high-risk skin types or previous melanoma diagnoses The protective benefits of vitamin D occurred regardless of measured blood levels, suggesting consistency in supplementation might matter more […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Sodium nitrite is a chemical that creates artificial pink coloring in processed meats. Meat industries argue that it protects against botulism Research shows nitrites increase exposure to harmful nitrosamines by two- to threefold. This results in DNA breaks within 30 minutes, as well as a rapid rise in colorectal cancer cases Denmark’s Hanegal […]
Download Interview Transcript STORY AT-A-GLANCE Resistance training promotes strength and vitality but causes microscopic muscle damage. As you age, this damage becomes harder to repair, which leads to longer recovery times and increased inflammatory stress Researchers are now exploring non-pharmaceutical ways to improve exercise adaptation in adults over 50. Hydrogen-rich water has emerged as a […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Adenomyosis is often mistaken for bad period pain or endometriosis, but it involves tissue growing into the uterine muscle, causing swelling, heavy bleeding, and knife-like cramps Many women suffer for years without a diagnosis because doctors misinterpret symptoms or rely on outdated assumptions that the condition only affects older women Research shows adenomyosis […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Curcumin directly targets colon cancer stem-like cells by shutting down their growth signals and reprogramming them toward normal function In animal and human models, curcumin reduced the number of aggressive cancer stem cells by more than 80% using doses achievable through dietary supplementation Curcuminoids disrupt the pathways cancer cells rely on for survival, […]
By: A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE For over a century, Monsanto has produced toxic products that have injured millions and rendered many areas uninhabitable. Recently, this changed due to RFK Jr. successfully suing them for cancers caused by Roundup (glyphosate) In 2018, Bayer acquired Monsanto. This backfired due to billions in Roundup judgments, causing Bayer […]
