STORY AT-A-GLANCE Almost 80% of Americans take supplements — and that number keeps growing. It’s no surprise supplements are everywhere. Herbal products alone bring in more than $12 billion a year The U.S. supplement industry is raising safety standards without banning trusted herbs. Experts advocate for clearer rules, improved testing, and consumer protection while maintaining […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Early smartphone ownership at age 12 is linked to higher risks of depression, obesity, and insufficient sleep, placing your child on a riskier long-term developmental path Each year earlier a child receives a smartphone increases the odds of obesity and insufficient sleep, showing just how much the timing of that first phone shapes […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE GLP-1 drugs trigger rapid metabolic stress that shuts down hair growth, leading to thinning, reduced density, and delayed-onset shedding Dermatologists report a consistent pattern of telogen effluvium in GLP-1 users, a condition in which stress pushes large numbers of hair follicles into a resting-and-shedding phase, showing that hair loss reflects internal stress rather […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Industrial farming has weakened soil biology, reduced food quality, and contributed to chronic disease, prompting renewed focus on soil health as a foundation for human health and agricultural resilience Regenerative agriculture rebuilds soil without reliance on heavy chemical inputs. This approach improves water retention, nutrient density, and long-term farm productivity In December 2025, […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE As you age, your thymus produces fewer newly formed cells responsible for responding to unfamiliar pathogens, reducing your immune system’s adaptability. This shift, combined with persistent inflammation, defines the core features of immune aging Urolithin A, a postbiotic compound, stimulates mitochondrial renewal in aging immune cells. A recent study shows it can increase […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Parcopresis, or “shy bowel syndrome,” is a condition that makes having a bowel movement outside your home feel impossible. Meanwhile, paruresis, or “shy bladder,” causes similar difficulty with urinating in public restrooms A study in Frontiers in Psychology found that about 14% of 714 university students avoided public toilets because of anxiety, and […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A 2013 Science paper claimed beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), the primary ketone body produced during ketosis, was a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with powerful epigenetic benefits — this claim became the foundation of the keto movement’s health narrative A devastating 2019 head-to-head comparison in Scientific Reports found that BHB shows no detectable HDAC inhibition […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE High-glycemic index foods push your insulin and IGF-1 into ranges linked to lung cancer, raising risk across multiple tumor types, including small cell and adenocarcinoma High-glycemic load diets, when built from fiber-rich whole fruits, vegetables, and grains, showed a lower lung cancer risk because they produced steadier blood sugar responses rather than sharp […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE The Achilles tendon, the body’s longest and strongest connective tissue, links your calf muscles to the heel. It supports walking and jumping, withstands extreme loads, yet faces rising injury rates across populations National U.S. data from 2001 to 2020 show Achilles ruptures are the most common tendon injury, increasing about 3% annually, with […]
