tuckerariel+FollowFamily Drama Impacts HIV Meds?!Who knew family vibes could make or break HIV treatment for teens? Turns out, how supportive (or not) your fam is, plus your mental health, can totally affect whether you stick to your meds. Some studies even tried family therapy and daily check-ins—results were mixed, but more support usually meant better adherence. Bottom line: If you want teens to stay on their HIV meds, you can’t ignore what’s happening at home! #HIVAwareness #FamilyMatters #MentalHealth #YouthHealth #ARTadherence #Health130Share
Jennifer Wilson+FollowEnergy Drinks: Not So Innocent?Energy drinks might be giving more than just a buzz—new research links them to heart and kidney issues, anxiety, and even sleep problems in young people. Nearly a third of us are sipping these daily, but experts warn the high caffeine and taurine could be seriously messing with our bodies, especially for teens. Some cases even saw heart problems after just one can! Are energy drinks worth the risk for a quick pick-me-up? #EnergyDrinks #HealthAlert #YouthHealth #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Donald Jones DDS+FollowAre Kids Being Rushed Into Gender Care?The latest HHS report is throwing serious shade at the American Academy of Pediatrics for pushing medical interventions like puberty blockers and surgeries for kids with gender dysphoria—despite mounting evidence that this 'affirmation-only' approach might do more harm than good. Other countries are already pulling back, but the AAP is doubling down. Why aren’t we hitting pause and listening to the science? This debate is heating up, and it’s not going away anytime soon. #GenderCare #Pediatrics #HealthDebate #YouthHealth #ScienceMatters #Health1016Share
William Vasquez+FollowEnergy Drinks: The Not-So-Innocent SipEnergy drinks might seem like the perfect pick-me-up, but new research says they’re way riskier than we thought—especially for young people. We’re talking heart and kidney issues, anxiety, insomnia, and even bone problems. One study even linked a single can to a heart scare in a healthy teen! With so many kids reaching for these, experts are calling for action. Maybe it’s time to rethink that next can? #EnergyDrinks #HealthAlert #YouthHealth #Wellness #AnxietyAwareness #Health20Share
nheath+FollowQuitting Vapes Just Got Easier?Vaping is everywhere among teens and young adults, but quitting? Not so easy—until now. A new study found that varenicline (yep, the quit-smoking med) plus quick remote counseling helped over half of young vapers quit for at least a month, way more than those who got a placebo. Side effects like nausea and weird dreams popped up, but most stuck with it. First big win for vaping cessation in youth! #Vaping #YouthHealth #QuitVaping #NicotineAddiction #HealthNews #Health8416Share
