Lisa Ramirez+FollowLupita Gets Real About Women’s HealthLupita Nyong’o just shared something super personal—she’s been battling uterine fibroids since 2014 (yep, 30 of them!). After years of pain and silence, she’s done keeping quiet and is teaming up with Congress to push for more research and awareness around women’s health issues. She’s calling out how we’re taught to just accept pain as normal and wants to change that for everyone. Major respect for using her platform to make a difference! #Health #BodyHealth #LupitaNyongo90Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowIce Cream’s Getting a Color Makeover!Big scoop: your favorite ice cream brands are ditching those bright, artificial colors by 2028! After the FDA said it’s time to phase out petroleum-based dyes, the biggest names in ice cream (we’re talking 90% of the market!) are swapping out those synthetic reds, blues, and yellows for more natural vibes. Looks like your next sundae might look a little different—but hey, it’s all for a healthier treat! #Health #BodyHealth #IceCreamNews60Share
Steven Smith+FollowHow Childhood Trauma Messes With Teen MindsTurns out, childhood maltreatment doesn’t just fade away—it can mess with how teens handle their emotions and even lead to more depression and anxiety. A big study in China found that kids who went through abuse or neglect are more likely to use unhealthy ways to deal with feelings (think: rumination, self-blame), which just makes mental health struggles worse. Basically, what happens early on can shape how you cope for years. #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters40Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowYoCrunch Yogurt Recall Drama!YoCrunch just recalled a bunch of their yogurts because people found sharp plastic pieces in the topping domes! Only the toppings are affected, not the yogurt itself, but still—yikes. If you’ve got any YoCrunch at home, check the packaging before you dig in. The company’s pulling them off shelves and offering refunds. Safety first, but who knew yogurt could be this dramatic? #Health #BodyHealth #RecallAlert30Share
Keith Stokes+FollowMedicare’s Surprising Cosmetic Surgery RuleDid you know Medicare won’t cover any surgery that’s just for looks? Yep, things like eyelid lifts, Botox, tummy tucks, and nose jobs are all on the no-go list unless it’s medically necessary (like after an accident or for function). If you’re thinking about a cosmetic procedure, you’ll have to pay out of pocket or look into financing—just watch out for those sneaky interest rates! Always double-check if your surgery is considered medical or cosmetic before booking anything. #Health #BodyHealth #Medicare00Share
Beth Burton+FollowPAs Might Be Getting a Big Shake-UpBig news: Physician associates (PAs) in the NHS could soon be banned from seeing patients without a doctor’s review. A new report says letting PAs act as mini-doctors is risky—especially since they have way less training. There’ve even been tragic misdiagnoses. The recommendation? PAs should only see minor cases, always under a doctor’s eye, and even get a name change to “physician assistants.” Looks like clearer roles and more supervision are coming! #Health #BodyHealth #NHS20Share

The consolidation wave is real—are you riding it or missing out? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthcareTrends00Share

Dana David+FollowBrooklyn Seniors Left in the LurchImagine your go-to spot for friends, meals, and fun suddenly shutting down. That’s what just happened to a Brooklyn senior center after a wild 70% rent hike and a lease standoff. Seniors who relied on the center for food and company are now scrambling for alternatives, and the future’s still up in the air.
