The phrase “male sana in corpore sano” (“a sound mind in a sound body”) comes from Juvenal’s Satires. This ancient ideal emphasizes the interconnectedness of mental and physical health—a concept that modern health care often neglects. Instead, mental and physical health are treated often as separate entities, creating a fragmented system unable to deal with the complexity of human well-being. The consequences of this division are tragic. Misdiagnoses, delayed treatments and unmet patient needs often result because the physical symptoms of mental health conditions are not recognized. For example, chest pain caused by stress is often mistaken for heart attacks,…

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have shown that people 60 and older with weakened immunity -? especially organ transplant recipients who take immunosuppressive drugs to reduce the risk of rejection and others with immune system disorders – do not respond as strongly to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines as people of the same age group with normal immune function. The study, conducted by a research team at the Johns Hopkins Transplant Research Center, was published today in Journal of the American Medical Association (GLASS). It parallels earlier work done at the center to better understand how the immune systems of people…
Every January 1st, we cheer for a “new beginning” — but for many of us, this day brings overwhelming loneliness or worse. Studies show that suicide rates increase on New Year’s Day, dispelling the myth that it’s a day of celebration for everyone. The New Year can feel like a harsh backdrop, illuminating feelings of failure, hopelessness, or, in the case of bipolar disorder, treatment failure. The risk of suicide can increase around this time, as the weight of expectations and the pressure to “turn the page” becomes overwhelming. Here’s the hidden truth: New Years is just another day. It…
Español “Breast self-exams are no longer recommended.” When I saw this headline earlier this year, I thought it was a typo. As someone who found my own breast cancer lump that turned out to be stage 3 cancer, I was surprised to learn that many health organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute do not recommend breast self-exams. And they haven’t for years. So what happened? Breast self-examination was created in the 1950s as a convenient and low-cost way for people to catch breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. But in the 2000s,…
While social media (especially TikTok) is a great tool for spotting trends, they can come and go so quickly, which is why it’s called a “trend.” I prefer to rely on other sources, such as information I hear from my skin care labs and trusted chemists, and from all the conferences I’ve attended over the past year where the best and brightest skin care professionals gather to share information.Based on what I’ve seen, here are six 2025 grooming trends that I expect to be big. While there are some new innovations – everything always goes back to the basics. Keeping…
