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 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 […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A groundbreaking study of over 300,000 adults found that smoking just two to five cigarettes daily raises your risk of heart failure by 50% and death by 60% They also found that dropping from 20 cigarettes to two per day did not produce a proportional drop in danger, concluding that there is no […]
