STORY AT-A-GLANCE A new JAMA Network Open study found that cutting down social media use to roughly 30 minutes per day had measurable effects on mental health, reducing anxiety by about 16%, depression by about 25%, and insomnia symptoms by 15% Loneliness scores did not change much, which shows that social media can be a […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Emerging research shows that human egg cells resist mitochondrial aging, challenging the idea that menopause is irreversible Scientists have successfully reactivated dormant ovarian follicles in women with premature ovarian insufficiency using stem cell strategies and metabolic interventions Mitochondrial health, not egg depletion, may be the key to reversing menopause symptoms and restoring reproductive […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Nearly 1 in 5 urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by E. coli strains that originated in contaminated meat, confirming what earlier research has shown Poultry is the main source of these dangerous bacteria, with chicken and turkey accounting for more than 74% of meat-linked UTI cases, while all retail meats showed high […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE About 24.2% of U.S. men today screen positive for erectile dysfunction (ED), while global rates range from 3% to 76.5%, showing it’s a common health problem that affects men of all ages A 2025 study in the American Journal of Clinical and Experimental Urology found that ED is influenced by genes that also […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Your gut’s nervous system directly influences whether you tolerate foods or react to them, making it a key factor in food sensitivities and allergy risk A tiny nerve messenger called the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) tells your gut stem cells how to rebuild the intestinal lining; when VIP drops, your gut produces too […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Low-fat protein after exercise delivers amino acids into your bloodstream faster, giving your muscles a stronger signal to repair and grow High-fat meals slow digestion and weaken your muscle-building response, even when the total amount of protein is the same A stronger and faster leucine surge from lean protein helps activate muscle repair […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Cold weather worsens arthritis symptoms by thickening joint fluid, slowing blood flow, and tightening muscles, which amplifies pain and stiffness Drops in barometric pressure cause tendons and muscles to expand, adding extra pressure to already inflamed joints and increasing discomfort Reduced sunlight during winter lowers vitamin D levels, weakening bones and increasing inflammation, […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE A 2025 analysis of over 13,500 knee MRI scans revealed that men have more anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears overall, including ACL plus meniscus combinations, contrary to earlier data focused on female athletes Men under 40 were more likely to have trauma-driven medial collateral ligament (MCL) and meniscus injuries, while women over 40 […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Metformin is a widely prescribed Type 2 diabetes drug that works by lowering liver glucose production and improve insulin sensitivity A 16-week Rutgers trial in 72 adults found that metformin dulled exercise benefits, reducing the usual improvements in aerobic fitness Long-term risks for prolonged metformin use include vitamin B12 deficiency, rare lactic acidosis, […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant that targets only harmful free radicals, helping to calm inflammation without disrupting essential cellular signaling Research discussed by Tyler LeBaron shows that hydrogen therapy reverses non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by restoring mitochondrial function and reducing fat accumulation in the liver Hydrogen’s small molecular size allows […]

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 […]
