At the top of the year, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins released the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030, the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in decades. Emphasizing "real food," the food pyramid we grew up with has essentially been turned upside down. Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) breaks down the changes: What's good, what's bad and what families should take away from this messy government food fight. We love questions!

A 2012 study (INCA) that only just came across our desk has huge implications for folks with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly kids!

When a listener (and Josiah) ask Dante about wearing a weighted vest, it's the perfect tie-in for looking at a study about weighted vests and long-term weight loss.

At last, the FDA has decided to remove the black box warning from topical hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) for menopause after years of pushback from women, and a comprehensive scientific review. We look at the original research that lead to the warnings and present evidence for their removal. Women were suffering unnecessarily because good research was mis-applied, and it took two decades for the government to catch on. Next, we look at a study showing that nearly half of type 2 diabetes patients exhibit micronutrient deficiencies, with vitamin D being the most prevalent, followed by magnesium and vitamin B12. We discuss how to assess your individual needs and how to supplement effectively. Finally, heading into Thanksgiving, Josiah helps us refocus and reframe the personality clashes and stress that always come around whenever family gets together.

Joey discusses how  understanding these key brain chemicals can lead to faster learning and avoiding the same spiral of chasing dopamine with things like social media doom scrolling.

When two different studies came out looking at the association of type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's risk, we knew we had to dig in! What exactly are the risks? What is the connection? Do any medicines help negate those risks? Joey has the details. What's in the Bottle? Creatine Essentials! Creatine has been getting a ton of press lately, and for good reason! While the body makes a limited amount of creatine on its own, nearly everyone can benefit from supplementing with it. It improves athletic performance by allowing muscles to work harder for just a bit longer. What's more, several recent studies are showing that it helps the brain by reducing the worst effects of poor sleep.
