STORY AT-A-GLANCE Athletes using infrared saunas post-workout experience faster reductions in soreness, improved strength recovery, and better neuromuscular performance within 24 hours compared to passive rest Using infrared saunas immediately after exercise yields stronger results than delayed sessions, as it extends the body’s natural repair window when circulation and metabolic signaling are elevated Consistent post-workout […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Phlegm color shifts give you immediate clues about what’s happening in your airways, helping you judge whether irritation, inflammation or infection is building before symptoms intensify Yellow and green tones reflect immune activity, while pink, red, brown, or black phlegm signal bleeding, long-standing lung issues or fungal infection, giving you clear markers for […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Early treatment within the first week after a moderate or severe head injury sharply lowers your long-term risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related cognitive decline Neurorehabilitation — including physical, occupational, cognitive and speech therapy — strengthens your brain’s ability to reorganize itself, improving recovery and long-term function at any age Acting quickly after […]
By: A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE Modern children’s content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums when screens are removed This deliberate design exploits the brain’s orienting response, rewiring developing […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Inulin is a naturally occurring, non-digestible fiber stored in many plants. It acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria that influence how the body handles sugar, fat, and inflammation A 2025 animal study found that inulin helped reverse fatty liver disease by prompting small-intestinal microbes to clear fructose and redirect liver metabolism […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A ketogenic diet improves weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and blood sugar control initially, but these gains typically level off after six to 12 months of adherence Long-term keto can elevate low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, particularly during rapid weight loss, raising cardiovascular concerns especially in healthy young adults following this diet Restricting carbohydrates […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Exercise trains your immune system to respond faster and recover more efficiently, helping you stay energized and more resistant to illness Years of consistent moderate training reshape how your immune cells produce and manage energy, keeping them youthful and resilient as you age Active adults maintain steadier inflammation and bounce back quicker from […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Early signs of brain damage linked to obesity are already showing up in young adults, decades before symptoms like memory loss or confusion begin Having low levels of choline, a nutrient most people don’t get enough of, is strongly connected to inflammation, liver stress, and neuron injury in people with obesity Women are […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A recent Osteoporosis International review summarized multiple studies showing that microplastics have been detected in human bone tissue, where they disrupt bone cell activity, trigger inflammation, and weaken structural integrity Laboratory and animal studies show microplastics accelerate osteoclast activity and alter bone microarchitecture, linking environmental plastic exposure to rising rates of bone fragility […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is an eating disorder where people severely restrict food due to fear, sensory sensitivities, or low interest — not body image concerns — causing significant health and social problems Unlike normal picky eating, ARFID involves intense distress, extremely narrow food choices, nutritional deficiencies, weight loss, and serious […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE More than one in 10 adults experience dysfunctional breathing symptoms like air hunger and chest tightness, even without having diagnosed lung disease People who currently smoke, or have a history of smoking and respiratory illness, face a dramatically higher risk of developing dysfunctional breathing patterns Dysfunctional breathing leads to overuse of neck and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A new Intermountain Health study presented at the American Heart Association’s 2025 Scientific Sessions found that adults with heart disease who optimized their vitamin D levels cut their risk of another heart attack by 52% Most participants began the trial with low vitamin D levels, showing that deficiency is common in people with […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Researchers have identified 168 everyday chemicals, including pesticides, flame retardants, and plastic additives, that are toxic to beneficial gut bacteria and may disrupt essential body functions Certain banned or restricted substances, like hexachlorophene and DDT, were also shown to damage gut microbes and promote inflammation and metabolic dysfunction Pesticides such as glyphosate, chlorpyrifos, […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Heartburn drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely used medications in the world, yet research shows they cause long-term kidney damage, even in people who feel fine and show no symptoms Studies reveal that chronic PPI use increases the risk of both sudden and silent kidney injury, leading […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Flavanols are plant compounds in cocoa, berries, and tea with low bioavailability, meaning only a small portion enters the bloodstream A new animal study found that oral flavanol doses of 25 to 50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) activated the subjects’ brains within minutes Flavanols are a type of flavonoid within the polyphenol family.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Chronic inflammation and broken metabolism create the conditions that allow cancer cells to grow, spread, and overwhelm your body’s natural defenses Stress hormones like cortisol block glucose use and flood your system with fatty acids, forcing your cells into a backup energy mode that fuels tumors A combination of vitamins B1, B3, and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE A recent study reveals that bedroom ventilation plays an essential role in sleep quality. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels need to remain below 1,000 ppm, ideally under 800 ppm, for deeper, uninterrupted sleep Opening windows can help with airflow, but it’s not always ideal due to outdoor pollutants, noise, or security risks. In such […]
