How Craig Melvin’s charity brings Today stars together

Every year, Craig Melvin and his wife Lindsay Czarniak turn grief into action by hosting the Bottoms Up Invitational in Connecticut, honoring Craig’s late brother and raising funds for colorectal cancer awareness. What’s truly special is how the Today show crew—like Willie Geist and Dylan Dreyer—rally around him, showing the real meaning of friendship and support. This year, they’re starting earlier (no more late-night karaoke!) and bringing in legendary acts like the Blind Boys of Alabama. It’s a reminder of how powerful community can be when we come together for a cause. How do you and your friends support each other through tough times? #Health #BodyHealth #CraigMelvin

What Keeps Women Up at 3 a.m.?

Ever wonder why your female friends always look tired? Turns out, women are twice as likely as men to never wake up feeling rested. But it’s not just about sleep—those 3 a.m. wakeups are prime time for silent regrets: picking security over passion, staying in draining jobs, or losing themselves in caregiving. These thoughts rarely make it to Instagram, but maybe they should. Regret isn’t failure—it’s a sign you still want more. Maybe it’s time to listen to those midnight whispers. #Health #BodyHealth #SleepStruggles

Uterine Cancer: The Red Flag You Can't Ignore

Everyone talks about breast and ovarian cancer, but uterine cancer is actually the most common gynecologic cancer—and it's on the rise, especially among Black and Hispanic women. The wild part? It’s one of the most treatable cancers if caught early, and it practically shouts for attention with abnormal bleeding. Don’t ignore the signs! Risk factors like obesity, PCOS, and hormone use matter, but you can lower your risk with birth control, IUDs, and healthy habits. Never brush off weird bleeding—your body’s giving you a billboard-sized warning! #Health #BodyHealth #UterineCancer

Luxury Hotel Stay Turns Into Salmonella Nightmare

Imagine booking a seaside getaway and ending up in the hospital! Nearly 200 people got seriously sick with salmonella at Spain’s Cavanna Hotel, with dozens hospitalized—including kids. Most guests were tourists just trying to enjoy their summer. Health officials think cross-contaminated food is to blame, and the investigation’s still ongoing. If you’re traveling in Europe, maybe skip the sprouted seeds and double-check those buffets! #Health #BodyHealth #TravelAlert

Frozen Veggies Recall: Check Your Freezer!

Frozen peas, carrots, and mixed veggies from Endico are being recalled in several states after testing positive for Listeria. If you bought any 2.5lb Endico bags recently, double-check those lot numbers and dates—contaminated veggies could cause serious illness. No one’s gotten sick yet, but better safe than sorry! Toss them or return for a refund. Food recalls are on the rise this year, so keep an eye on what’s in your fridge and freezer! #Health #BodyHealth #FoodRecall

It’s a raw, emotional glimpse into the life of a football legend off the field. #Health #BodyHealth #MichaelIrvin

10-Month Wait for Hospital Visit Led to MS Diagnosis

Imagine waiting nearly a year for a hospital appointment, only to end up in A&E because you can’t walk. That’s what happened to Pippa, who was left dragging her leg around while waiting for a neurology appointment. She was finally diagnosed with MS after a week in hospital. Turns out, thousands are stuck on similar waitlists, risking worse health. The MS Society says delays like this can lead to irreversible disability. How is this still happening? #Health #BodyHealth #NHS

Babies Missing Key Gut Bacteria?

Turns out, a lot of US babies are missing Bifidobacterium—the gut bacteria that helps digest breast milk and trains the immune system. In a big study, 1 in 4 babies had none, and most had super low levels. The catch? Babies with less of this bacteria were 3x more likely to get allergies, eczema, or asthma by age 2. C-sections, formula, and antibiotics all play a role. Early gut health really sets the stage for future wellness! #Health #BodyHealth #GutHealth

Telehealth Just Got a Major Medicare Makeover

Medicare’s about to shake up telehealth! CMS wants to make it way easier for doctors to get new telehealth services approved—no more complicated hoops to jump through. They’re also making some pandemic-era flexibilities permanent, like letting docs supervise virtually (video only, though). Some new services are getting added (think group therapy and obesity counseling), but others didn’t make the cut. If you care about telehealth, now’s the time to speak up before the rules are set! #Health #BodyHealth #Medicare

Kidney deaths linked to high BP are rising fast

Shocking stat: deaths from kidney disease caused by high blood pressure have jumped nearly 50% in the last 25 years! The worst hit? Black and Hispanic communities, with Black Americans facing over 3x the death rate of others. Men are also at higher risk. High blood pressure isn’t just about heart attacks—it can quietly wreck your kidneys, too. Moral of the story: check your BP and don’t ignore it! #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews
