Melinda Gutierrez+FollowPregnancy, SSRIs & FDA Drama: What’s Really Up?Moms who take SSRIs like Zoloft during pregnancy are facing new waves of stigma after an FDA panel raised alarms about potential risks—despite loads of research showing these meds are safe and even lifesaving for many. Experts are worried this could scare more women away from getting help for depression or anxiety, which can be way more dangerous for both mom and baby. The real risk? Untreated mental health. Let’s talk about support, not shame! #Health #BodyHealth #MaternalMentalHealth00Share
David Hernandez+FollowHow a Texas road trip helped me process griefCrossing Texas by car isn’t just about covering miles—it’s about giving your heart and mind space to breathe. On a recent drive from Louisiana to El Paso for a family funeral, I found comfort in the changing landscapes. East Texas, lush and noisy, mirrored the chaos of fresh grief, while the wide-open skies of West Texas felt honest and soothing. Unexpected stops, like a stunning hotel in Big Spring, reminded me that beauty can pop up in the most unlikely places. Sometimes, slowing down and letting the journey unfold is exactly what we need to heal. Has a road trip ever helped you process something big? #Health #BodyHealth #TexasRoadTrip00Share
Kimberly Parker+FollowCheck your breasts. Don't wait, and don't take "fine" for an answer.Yesterday was honestly one of the hardest days I’ve had yet. Even though my annual physical in August, including the breast exam, was totally clear, I noticed a small lump—like a long green bean—right before Thanksgiving. The earliest appointment was miles away in January, but I called repeatedly until I snagged a cancellation for yesterday. I ended up getting an ultrasound, my very first mammogram, and then they immediately rolled me into a same-day biopsy. I’m now waiting until the end of next week for the pathology results. If you feel anything at all, push back and keep calling until you get seen. I’m spending the weekend snuggling my dog and watching terrible Christmas movies to stay sane. Drop your trashy movie recommendations below, please. #Health #BreastHealth #BreastCancer 22Share

wilsonjames+FollowAutistic Employees Outsmart OverconfidenceTurns out, autistic employees are way better at judging their own skills than non-autistic coworkers. A new study found that autistic folks are less likely to fall for the Dunning-Kruger effect (that thing where people overestimate their abilities). Basically, they’re more honest about what they know—and what they don’t. Makes you wonder if we should all take a page from their playbook when it comes to self-awareness at work! #Health #BodyHealth #AutismAcceptance00Share
Kristi Key+FollowKing Charles’s Unexpected Cancer ResponseKing Charles’s reaction to his cancer diagnosis was anything but royal—he actually laughed and called it “a bit of a bugger.” Instead of sharing all the details, he’s keeping some things private to help everyone feel included in his message about cancer awareness. Even with treatment, he’s determined to keep working and make a difference. Honestly, his attitude is kind of inspiring! #Health #BodyHealth #KingCharles60Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowHow a heart scan saved four Tampa brothersFour Tampa brothers discovered they all had advanced heart disease—without any warning signs—thanks to one sibling’s insistence on a cardiac CT scan.

That decision led to life-saving surgeries for all four brothers. Turns out, family history can be a silent threat, even if you feel fine. Would you get a heart scan if heart disease runs in your family? Let’s talk about how technology and family conversations can truly save lives. #Health #BodyHealth #HeartHealth10Share
