STORY AT-A-GLANCE Influenza remains a leading global infectious killer, claiming up to 650,000 lives annually and often triggering severe complications like sepsis when untreated The body’s circadian rhythm regulates immune defenses, sleep, and metabolism. Disrupting this rhythm increases vulnerability to infections like influenza Researchers found that flu severity depends on light exposure timing. Disrupting light […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Mood swings linked to missed meals are driven more by unrecognized hunger than by blood sugar levels, which explains why irritability often appears suddenly and feels out of proportion Research shows that noticing hunger early keeps emotions steadier across the day, reducing sharp drops into irritability without forcing you to feel artificially upbeat […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Leucine, an essential amino acid found in foods like grass fed beef, eggs, and dairy, triggers a cellular pathway that boosts mitochondrial performance and energy output New research from Nature Cell Biology shows leucine prevents the breakdown of key mitochondrial proteins, allowing your cells to generate more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) — the fuel […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Nearly half of U.S. adults have undiagnosed hypertension, which increases risks for stroke, heart attack, and early brain impairment due to reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to neural tissue Early hypertension triggers rapid cellular damage, including endothelial aging, neuronal energy loss, myelin disruption, and blood-brain barrier leakage, all of which accelerate inflammation and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Only one in four adults meets the recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise, but even a few minutes of movement each day can still improve heart health, metabolism, and strength A single high-intensity workout session each week — just 30 minutes — is linked to a 39% lower risk of heart-related death in […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Your circadian rhythm controls vital organ functions, including how your liver processes nutrients and filters toxins. Exposure to artificial blue light disrupts this rhythm, triggering a chain reaction that destabilizes liver health German researchers found that long-term artificial light exposure alters liver gene expression and melatonin production, contributing to the development and progression […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented vegetable dish, is rich in diverse lactic acid bacteria, bioactive compounds, and fibers that support gut integrity, microbial balance, immune signaling, and overall metabolic resilience A recent study published in npj Science of Food used single-cell RNA sequencing to map how daily kimchi intake influences immune cells, offering […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE An animal study found that the smell of fatty foods during pregnancy and breastfeeding, even without eating them, can alter a child’s brain development and make them more prone to obesity later in life Mice exposed to bacon-scented diets in the womb and through milk developed insulin resistance and gained more weight in […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Ultraprocessed foods alter DNA methylation patterns, silencing protective genes and activating harmful ones, creating cellular dysfunction that begins before visible health problems appear in both adults and children A study of 30 adult women revealed those consuming 45% of their daily calories as ultraprocessed foods showed hypomethylation in 80 genome regions, affecting genes […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Americans spend about nine hours sitting and nearly five hours on their phones daily, contributing to a sedentary way of life In a featured study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), researchers found that muscle shape, not size, may reveal early metabolic changes and even signal disease risk The World […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE In a recent study, 71% of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients tested had abnormal breathing patterns like hyperventilation or dysfunctional breathing, which were not seen in healthy controls Dysfunctional breathing was found in 42% of ME/CFS participants, leading to erratic, inefficient breathing during exertion, often without the person realizing it Low carbon dioxide […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Tinnitus isn’t just a ringing in your ears — it can interfere with memory, mood, and sleep, affecting your overall well-being when left unmanaged A Phase II clinical trial found that low-intensity sound therapy (LINTS) can reduce tinnitus symptoms without blocking out real-world sounds, helping the brain tune out the ringing naturally Sound […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a former FDA medical officer and pharma insider, reveals systemic shortcomings in psychiatric drug approval and oversight Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the drug primarily used for depression and anxiety, have surged in use in recent years, especially among adolescents and young adults SSRIs […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Chronic stress triggers measurable brain inflammation that disrupts mood, motivation, and cognitive clarity, creating a biological state that mirrors clinical depression Progesterone directly counters this stress chemistry by lowering cortisol activity, activating calming GABA pathways and supporting healthy metabolic function Research shows progesterone reverses stress-induced depression in animals, restoring motivation, improving behavior, and […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Insomnia keeps your mind in daytime problem-solving mode at night, which prevents the natural mental drift that helps you fall asleep New research shows that people with insomnia have weaker circadian signals, making it harder for the brain to shift from alert thinking into the dream-like patterns that support rest Sequential thinking stays […]
