How Nutrition Education for Doctors Is Evolving
Dr. Jaclyn Albin still recalls learning about nutritional biochemistry while she was a student at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences. But by the time she graduated in 2009, nutrition’s relevance to disease states and patient care hadn’t been addressed. “Historically, nutrition education has been mostly rooted in biochemistry, pathology, and physiology with nutrient-focused content,” says Albin, who’s now an internist and pediatrician in Texas. “For example, we would learn about vitamin C and how it impacts various pathways in the body, as well as wh...

Why So Many Black Women Die in Pregnancy
BIRMINGHAM — Angelica Lyons knew it was dangerous for Black women to give birth in America. As a public health instructor, she taught college students about racial health disparities, including the fact that Black women in the U.S. are nearly three times more likely to die during pregnancy or delivery than any other race. Her home state of Alabama has the third-highest maternal mortality rate in the nation. Then, in 2019, it nearly happened to her. What should have been a joyous first pregnancy quickly turned into a nightmare when she began to suffer debilitating stomach pain. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”trueR...

NEC backs the right to strike emergency protest
UNISON’s national executive council (NEC) has encouraged as many members as possible to attend the TUC-organised emergency protest in Westminster at 6pm on Monday (22 May) and defend the right to strike. The strike-busting legislation is returning to parliament on Monday and UNISON, along with other unions, believes that the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill, is a full-frontal attack on working people and the trade unions they organise within. Details of the demonstration can be found here. Separately, at its meeting this week, the NEC also heard that the union is in the midst of taking the government to the High Cou...

Polypharmacy Killed My Son. He ’s Not Alone
Five years ago, my 21-year-old son Bradley died of psychiatric drug interactions, after years of battling anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder. In most respects, Bradley was very much like many kids you know. He was funny, smart, and talented, constantly making people laugh with goofy impersonations, and starring in school plays and musicals. We—me, my husband, and Bradley’s siblings—deeply supported him in his challenges with mental health. He had access to the best healthcare available. But despite his privilege, we couldn’t save him. At the time of his death, Bradley was taking a cocktail ...

How Extreme Heat Impacts Your Brain and Mental Health
When the temperature spikes, so too do suicide rates, crime, and violence. Twitter sees hate tweets and online aggression increase during heatwaves, along with phrasing that researchers have linked to anxiety and depression. Our very language captures the confluence of heat and emotion—when we are annoyed, we get “hot under the collar”; when we are angry our “blood boils;” and when something gets to be too much, we have to “let off steam.” Spike Lee’s seminal exploration of racial tension in 1989’s Do The Right Thing unfolds during the hottest day of the year, when scor...

Why Americans Are Dying So Young
Life expectancy in America fell sharply in 2020. It fell again in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly played a role, but that’s not the whole story. During this same time period, eight of the ten leading causes of death also increased. Even maternal and child and adolescent mortality increased. In August 2022, federal health officials released new data showing that across all demographic groups, Americans are dying younger. Ten years ago, a landmark report called “Shorter Lives, Poorer Health” documented for the first time a widespread “U.S. health disadvantage,” a shortfall in the health an...

Nigeria: Charting a Course to #HealthForAll - Transforming Primary Health Care Delivery in Enugu State
[Nigeria Health Watch] Primary healthcare is the cornerstone of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and is the first port of call for individuals and families seeking healthcare. Nigeria's primary health care system is fraught with numerous challenges, one of the root causes of which is that it is primarily the responsibility of the Local Government, the weakest tier of government in Nigeria.

Common Myths About Exercise
The exercise industry has been lying to you for years. They still promote the idea that cardio workouts lead to fat loss. But they’ve got it all wrong. Sure, cardio will help you burn fat for a while. You’ll even lose weight in the short term. But long-duration exercise tells your body to make more fat the next time you exercise. And after a while, your body adapts, and it gets very good at making and storing fat. Fat is a starvation survival strategy. You put on and store fat because your body thinks it’s under duress. When you do 45 minutes of cardio, your body starts to believe that having fat is a good thing… A...
