Story at-a-glance

Research shows that glyphosate exposure, even at “safe” levels, causes hormone imbalance, oxidative stress, and permanent damage to reproductive organs like the ovaries and uterus
Exposure reduces estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) while increasing testosterone and progesterone, creating conditions similar to PCOS. It also impairs egg quality and lowers the chance of successful fertilization and implantation
Glyphosate alters gene expression in the uterus of offspring who were never directly exposed. These inherited disruptions impact fertility for your children and grandchildren
The chemical shuts down mitochondria, blocks detox enzymes, and depletes essential minerals, setting off a chain reaction that affects everything from hormone production to brain function
Avoiding glyphosate-contaminated food, filtering your water, eliminating seed oils, and healing your gut are key steps to reverse its impact and regain reproductive and metabolic health

The Link Between Poor Oral Health and Chronic Pain in Women - AI Podcast 11:18

4 hours ago11:18

11:18

Story at-a-glance Women with chronic migraines and body-wide pain were far more likely to have poor oral health, with over half falling into the lowest oral health categories in a new study Specific oral bacteria, including Mycoplasma salivarium and Gardnerella vaginalis, were significantly more common in women who reported frequent migraines and widespread pain Harmful oral microbes don’t stay in your mouth; once gum tissue is inflamed, these bacteria enter your bloodstream, disrupt the immune system, and trigger systemic pain A less diverse oral microbiome was found in women with migraines and gut pain, making it easier for pain-triggering bacteria to dominate and inflame nerve pathways Inflammatory chemicals produced by oral bacteria — like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) — are directly involved in migraine and fibromyalgia, showing how poor oral hygiene can set off whole-body pain responses…

Story at-a-glance Your fingernails and toenails serve essential functions like protection, tactile feedback, and proprioception. When a toenail becomes ingrown, it disrupts balance and causes discomfort, infection, negatively affecting your quality of life Ingrown toenails occur due to poor nail trimming, tight footwear, trauma, or physical growth imbalances. Early symptoms include swelling, redness, and eventually pain and infection if left untreated At-home treatments include soaking in warm water with Epsom salt, trimming nails properly, inserting cotton, using ointments, and keeping the foot clean and uncovered for faster healing Nonsurgical treatments like the cotton wick, dental floss, taping, and brace techniques aim to lift the nail from the skin, offering relief and preventing further complications without invasive methods The BS Brace is a long-term, noninvasive solution ideal for diabetics.

Aspirin and Cancer: The Breakthrough You Need to Know - AI Podcast 9:01

1 day ago9:01

9:01

Story at-a-glance Aspirin helps prevent cancer metastasis by boosting your immune system's T cells, which attack cancer cells that try to spread throughout your body Metastasis causes 90% of cancer deaths as cancer cells travel through blood or lymph systems to form new tumors in organs like lungs, liver or bones Aspirin blocks a substance in your body that normally slows down T cells, allowing them to move and attack cancer cells more effectively Low doses of aspirin (75 to 300 milligrams daily) appear effective, with benefits increasing after 5 to 7.5 years of regular use Willow bark is a natural alternative to aspirin; it contains a compound that your body turns into the same active ingredient as in aspirin…

Is Stress Messing With Your Stomach? The Link to IBS - AI Podcast 9:07

2 days ago9:07

9:07

Story at-a-glance Approximately 10% to 15% of Americans suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by unpredictable symptoms that disrupt daily life Recent research reveals that psychological stress trains your body to misidentify safe foods as threats. This rewires your immune and nervous systems to produce pain responses in the gut Stress increases mast cell activity in the gut, which leads to nerve hypersensitivity and immune system changes that trigger IBS symptoms like bloating, pain, and altered digestion When stress becomes chronic, hormones like cortisol and CRF impair digestion, damage the gut lining, and throw off your microbial balance, worsening IBS symptoms Managing IBS involves comprehensive lifestyle strategies, including stress reduction techniques like mindfulness, exercise, improving sleep, and supporting gut health through diet and potential supplements…

9:50

Story at-a-glance Consuming just four servings of ultraprocessed foods daily increases depression risk by 10% in adults over 70, according to a six-year Australian study of 11,192 older adults Ultraprocessed foods trigger inflammation, disrupt the gut-brain axis and cause oxidative stress — all known contributors to depression and cognitive decline in older populations Linoleic acid (LA) in vegetable oils damages cellular mitochondria, reducing energy production and increasing inflammation; keep daily intake below 5 grams, ideally under 2 grams Dietary changes that support mental health include eliminating vegetable oils, focusing on whole foods and choosing filtered water over sweetened drinks Many people underestimate their processed food consumption; tracking food intake for five days helps reveal hidden sources of inflammatory ingredients affecting brain function…
