STORY AT-A-GLANCE Sleeping fewer than seven hours a night shortens lifespan more than poor diet, lack of exercise, or weak social ties, making sleep one of the strongest predictors of long-term survival Short sleep accelerates aging by disrupting cellular repair, hormone balance, and energy production, even in people who eat well and stay physically active […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Women with psoriasis consistently show lower progesterone and DHEA, two hormones that normally quiet inflammation, making flare-ups stronger and more frequent Estrogen dominance — where estrogen feels too strong relative to progesterone — heightens immune reactivity and explains why symptoms worsen before your period, after childbirth and during menopause Intracellular estrogen, not blood […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Belly fat changes how your heart is built and works, even when your weight and body mass index (BMI) appear normal Men face earlier and more severe heart damage because they store more fat deep in the abdomen, which increases pressure on the lungs and forces the heart to work harder with every […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong discusses rising cancer rates while emphasizing shifts toward younger patients Soon-Shiong explains COVID-19’s spike protein attaches to ACE2 receptors throughout the body, causing persistent inflammation that may contribute to various health issues, including cancer Soon-Shiong criticizes Big Pharma’s influence over regulatory processes, arguing this […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Mainstream health influencers have recently been dismissing concerns about seed oils, framing the entire discussion through the narrow lens of LDL cholesterol — while ignoring the vast body of research on mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and cellular damage The conventional argument that seed oils are safe commits the cardinal sin of reductionism: reducing an […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely prescribed antidepressants that work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain SSRIs are only one class of antidepressants; others include serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), which act on different brain chemicals and come with their own side effects and […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Rosacea often worsens in midlife because years of inflammation prevent blood vessels from fully recovering between triggers, making redness more persistent An overactive immune response keeps inflammatory signals switched on, which drives flushing, burning, and visible blood vessels even without obvious triggers Gut imbalance fuels facial inflammation by sending immune signals into your […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Winter worsens migraines because cold, darkness, and routine disruption overload your nervous system and reduce your brain’s ability to regulate pain signals Seasonal drops in light exposure disrupt melatonin and circadian rhythm, lowering your brain’s resilience and increasing headache frequency and intensity Excess LA from seed oils damages mitochondrial energy production, making your […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A new Nutrients study shows that drinking 12 ounces of 100% elderberry juice daily for a week helped overweight adults activate more genes that regulate how the body uses energy after meals than a placebo Elderberry juice turned on processes that help the body manage energy better — making it easier to switch […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Eating five or more servings of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) a day nearly doubles your risk of developing Crohn’s disease Additives like emulsifiers, thickeners, and artificial sweeteners found in ultraprocessed foods break down the gut’s protective mucus barrier and fuel chronic inflammation High intake of UPFs is linked to changes in gut bacteria that […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Soybean oil dominates the U.S. food supply. Americans’ intake has increased from about 2% to nearly 10% of calories over a century, alongside sharp rises in obesity and diabetes A recent study published in the Journal of Lipid Research found soybean oil drives obesity independent of calories by generating liver oxylipins that track […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A new trial in The New England Journal of Medicine found that exercise, whether done at home or with a physical therapist, helped reduce knee pain in adults with osteoarthritis and meniscal tears Supervised physical therapy (PT) offered a modest short-term advantage over home exercise. Much of PT’s value may come from the […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Parkinson’s disease is rising rapidly worldwide, and most cases are driven by lifestyle and environmental stressors rather than genetics, meaning daily choices play a powerful role in risk and progression The disease often begins years before diagnosis, with early signs like poor sleep, digestive issues, anxiety, and fatigue signaling stress on your brain […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Colorectal cancer is rising in younger adults, with U.S. rates increasing 2.4% per year since 2012. New evidence points to dietary changes as a contributing factor A recent study in JAMA Oncology found that those consuming the most ultraprocessed foods had a 45% higher risk of developing precancerous colorectal tumors before age 50 […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Saffron supports both mood and sexual function, addressing a common problem where depression treatments often blunt intimacy Clinical trials show a daily 30-milligram dose of saffron reduces depression symptoms at a level similar to common antidepressants used for mild to moderate depression Unlike many psychiatric drugs, saffron improves erectile function, arousal, lubrication, and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Women with uterine fibroids face a significantly higher long-term risk of heart disease, meaning fibroids act as an early warning sign of deeper cardiovascular strain rather than a localized reproductive issue The increased risk shows up early, often years before traditional heart disease symptoms appear, giving you a key window to address underlying […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) now affects about 788 million adults worldwide, more than double the number in 1990, making it one of the most widespread and underrecognized health threats A recent systematic analysis published in The Lancet revealed that CKD is now the ninth leading cause of death globally, responsible for roughly 1.48 […]
