Ryan Lewis+FollowCould This Diabetes Med Be a Longevity Hack?Metformin, a super common diabetes drug, might be more than just a blood sugar helper—it could actually help women live into their 90s! A huge study found women with type 2 diabetes on metformin had a 30% better shot at hitting 90 than those on another diabetes med. Scientists are buzzing about metformin’s potential anti-aging powers, but say don’t start popping it just for longevity yet—more research is needed. Still, wild to think your daily meds could be a secret to a longer life! #Longevity #Metformin #Diabetes #Aging #HealthNews #Health4519Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowWait, There’s a Type 5 Diabetes?Turns out, there’s a newly official type of diabetes—Type 5—and eating less isn’t the fix.

Now, experts are setting new guidelines so folks finally get the right care. Wild that diabetes isn’t just about sugar and weight, right? #DiabetesAwareness #HealthNews #Type5Diabetes #GlobalHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Health199Share
hhill+FollowWeight Loss Jabs Delivered? Game Changer!Imagine getting weight loss jabs like Wegovy or Mounjaro delivered straight to your door—no clinic visits needed. A new report says this could help 15 million people and boost the UK economy by £52 billion! The idea: make these jabs more accessible, especially for middle-aged folks, and let the NHS app handle the ordering. Plus, means-testing could make it fairer for everyone. Could this be the future of healthcare (and our waistlines)? #WeightLoss #HealthNews #NHS #Wellness #EconomicGrowth #Health40Share
margaret39+FollowOzempic’s Weight Loss Hype—But at What Cost?Everyone’s buzzing about Ozempic for weight loss, but here’s the tea: most people don’t actually hit a healthy weight, and the pounds come back fast when you stop. Plus, the side effects? Not cute. Experts say plant-based diets might be a safer, more effective option in the long run. If you’re thinking about hopping on the Ozempic train, you might want to look twice at the risks before jumping in! #Ozempic #WeightLoss #HealthNews #DietTrends #Wellness #Health40Share
Theresa Mccoy+FollowTeen Health at a Tipping Point?Nearly half a billion teens could be overweight or obese by 2030—yep, you read that right. Experts say teen health is shifting: less smoking and drinking, but way more weight gain and mental health struggles. The digital world and climate change are piling on new challenges. The big takeaway? Investing in teen health now is key, or we risk undoing decades of progress. The time to act is literally now! #TeenHealth #ObesityCrisis #MentalHealth #FutureGeneration #HealthNews #Health00Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowCOVID Shots Now for Just a Select Few?Big change: The FDA just announced that updated COVID vaccines will only be approved for people 65+, pregnant women, and those with certain health conditions (think asthma, diabetes, cancer, obesity). If you’re under 65 and healthy, you might not get access—or insurance coverage—anymore. This shift comes as RFK Jr.’s vaccine-skeptic influence grows, even though he wasn’t directly involved. Some experts say this is way too restrictive and could leave a lot of people out. What do you think: smart move or too risky? #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #RFKJr #Health10Share
Misty Brady+FollowAging Might Be Sabotaging Cancer TherapiesTurns out, getting older doesn’t just mean more candles on the cake—it could also mean your immune cells aren’t as fierce against cancer. New research found that CAR-T cell therapy, a cutting-edge cancer treatment, works way less effectively in older folks because their cells lose metabolic power. The wild part? Scientists were able to revive these tired cells by boosting a molecule called NAD. This could totally change how we treat cancer in older adults! #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #Aging #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #Health10Share
Lisa Ramirez+FollowTaurine: The Metabolic Health Secret?Did you know only 12% of US adults are actually metabolically healthy? Wild, right? New research is putting taurine—the amino acid you’ve probably seen in energy drinks—on the map for improving blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglycerides. Most of us don’t get enough from food alone, but supplements (think around 2g daily) could be a game-changer. Bonus: Pair it with creatine for even better results. Who knew your energy drink ingredient might be the missing piece for your health goals? #MetabolicHealth #Taurine #Wellness #HealthNews #Supplements #Health180Share

That’s what happened to Wendy Rappaport, who’s now suing her surgeon and the hospital for malpractice. The hospital claims the lawsuit doesn’t tell the whole story, but Wendy’s left with stage 5 kidney disease and needs dialysis. The drama is real, and both sides are gearing up for a legal showdown.
