Somewhere around the eighth week, the newborn fog lifts enough that you can look around and think: we have to leave this apartment. I remember standing in my kitchen with my first son, diaper bag half full, honestly unsure if a walk around the block “counted” as going out. (He does.)Here’s what I wish someone had told me with my first newborn: your baby doesn’t care about the perfect Pinterest sensory bin. They care about your face, your voice and something new to look at. So do things for your own sanity and let the baby tag along (he’s usually…

Researchers have found that with new treatments for multiple myeloma, a serious type of blood cancer, clinicians will have to use different criteria to identify patients with a low chance of survival.

Recently, however, the use of a 4-part regimen—including anti-CD38 antibodies, proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory…

Although often used in foods marketed as healthy options, erythritol has recently been suspected of increasing the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD).Erythritol is one of the most common sugar alternatives used in “sugar-free” and low-carb foods. While it has long been considered a safe sugar substitute, recent research has raised questions about a…
“Turn off the TV, it will rot your mind!” has been a household refrain for decades. While “rot” may be too strong a term, the researchers note that the general sentiment could have some value. A study recently published in Alzheimer and Dementia: Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association revealed that those who reported watching television “very often” in middle age later showed reduced volume in brain regions associated with memory, smaller frontal and occipital lobes, and areas of brain white matter damage associated with aging, stroke risk, cognitive decline, and dementia. For years we have focused on how much…

For years, I’ve criticized companies that sell supplements using science, proprietary blends, influencer testimonials, and vague promises to “replace 20+ supplements” and “support wellness.” And as for the green and red powders, I put almost all of them in the “pass” category. When a follower asked me to review IM8, I knew it was going to be the same old supplement garbage. IM8 was founded by David Beckham and has been endorsed by a bunch of athletes and people who may be famous but I’ve never heard of…none of them impress me at all. Let’s face it: celebrity products and…
Despite overwhelming evidence for the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, vaccine hesitancy has intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic and fueled skepticism toward other life-saving vaccines for children, adults, and pets.

Published in the American Journal of Public Health, the study shows that proposed bills aimed at reducing access to…
