john24+FollowHeart Surgery Linked to Weird Migraines?Ever heard of people getting wild visual migraines after heart surgery? Turns out, it might be from tiny blood clots sneaking into the brain during the procedure. Researchers found patients with these brain clots were 12x more likely to see those trippy flashing lights and zigzags post-surgery. Even crazier, these migraines could be warning signs for more serious stuff like strokes. Who knew fixing your heart could mess with your head like this? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews20Share
Jeffrey Miller+FollowTurns Out, Diet Beats Exercise for WeightWild new study says we’ve been blaming the wrong thing for weight gain! It’s not just about skipping the gym—overeating, especially ultraprocessed foods, is the real culprit. Even super active people burn about the same calories as desk jockeys (when you adjust for body size). So, if you’re stressing about missing a workout, maybe check what’s on your plate instead. Exercise is still awesome for your heart and mood, but you can’t out-train a junk food habit! #Fitness #Obesity #HealthNews11Share
Keith Stokes+FollowMajor Hospitals Pause Gender Care for TeensBig shakeup: several top hospitals, including Rush in Chicago and Stanford Medicine, are hitting pause on gender-affirming surgeries and hormone treatments for anyone under 19. This comes after a new executive order banned federal support for these procedures on minors. Some clinics are even scrubbing their websites of gender care info. The move’s got people talking—supporters say it’s about protecting kids, while critics worry about access to care. What do you think about these changes? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews00Share
Michelle Welch+FollowObesity Meds: Unexpected Testosterone Boost?GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy aren’t just for weight loss—they might also help guys with low testosterone! In a new study, men on these meds saw their testosterone levels jump from 53% to 77% in the normal range over 18 months. Plus, even if you miss doses (thanks, insurance drama), you can still lose a solid amount of weight, especially with lifestyle changes. And for the 80+ crowd, osteoporosis meds after a fracture can actually lower hospital visits and boost survival. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews110Share
Jennifer Wilson+FollowIs Your BP Actually Hormone-Related?Turns out, a ton of people with high blood pressure might actually have a sneaky hormone issue called primary aldosteronism—and most docs aren’t even testing for it! This condition can seriously up your risk for heart problems, but a simple blood test could catch it early. If you or someone you know has high blood pressure, maybe ask about getting those hormone levels checked. Why miss out on an easy fix? #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews70Share
wilsonjames+FollowIs Our Diet Making Us Sick Younger?GI cancers are spiking in young adults, and researchers are blaming our love for processed foods, sugary drinks, and couch time. Millennials and Gen Xers are seeing way higher risks than previous generations—like, double the colon cancer risk if you were born in 1990 vs. 1950! Docs say it’s not just genetics; it’s our Western diet and lifestyle. Want to lower your risk? Cut back on red meat, get moving, and keep an eye on those warning signs! #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews60Share
Annette Young+FollowWeight-loss shots: More than skinny secrets?Turns out those weight-loss shots like Wegovy and Mounjaro might be doing way more than helping people drop pounds.

The numbers are wild: 37% lower risk of dementia and 19% less chance of stroke. Scientists say more research is needed, but this could be a total game-changer for long-term health! #Fitness #HealthNews #WeightLoss40Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowAre You Really Allergic to Penicillin?Turns out, most people who think they're allergic to penicillin actually aren’t! A new study found that after proper testing, 92% of patients labeled as allergic tested negative.

Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowYou Might Not Be Allergic to Penicillin?!Turns out, a ton of people who think they’re allergic to penicillin actually aren’t!

If you’ve got a penicillin allergy on your chart, maybe it’s time to double-check! #Health #BodyHealth #HealthNews2420Share
