Study: Heat Waves May Accelerate Aging as Much as Smoking or Drinking Alcohol.
The planet is heating up faster than ever before. Each summer seems hotter than the last, and deadly heat waves are becoming increasingly common across continents. Beyond the immediate discomfort and health risks, scientists are now uncovering deeper, long-term consequences of this environmental shift. According to a new study, continuous exposure to heat waves may accelerate biological aging — effectively making the body older at the cellular level — to a degree comparable to the effects of smoking or alcohol consumption.

How to Balance Estrogen Through Your Diet: Pro Tips
I’m sure many of you have heard (or read!) me say this before, but… You can’t actually “balance” your hormones. They aren’t meant to be balanced. Hormones, of all kinds and all jobs in the body, are designed to fluctuate as part of running metabolism, the circadian rhythm and so much more. These ebbs and flows allow for various organ systems to do their jobs! Balancing hormones in a way that would cause stagnation or steady levels might actually prevent typical functions - this is how oral contraceptives work, by supplying the body with a steady level of estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation from occurring.

Early Natural Menopause and the 27% Hidden Risk of Metabolic Syndrome
The transition into menopause is a significant milestone in a woman’s life, often accompanied by hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. But emerging evidence suggests that if menopause occurs earlier than average, it may carry an additional, less visible risk: a greater likelihood of developing the cluster of conditions known as Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Recent studies indicate that women who experience natural menopause at an earlier age face an elevated risk of cardiometabolic disorders a topic that demands attention from both patients and clinicians.

The Image of God: Restoring Human Value and Moral Agency
Every generation faces the same defining question: What is a human being worth? Not in dollars, not in productivity, but in essence. Modern culture pretends to know the answer, yet its behavior tells another story. We live in an age that praises equality while practicing utilitarianism. People are valued for what they produce, not for who they are. The unborn are treated as inconveniences, the elderly as burdens, and the suffering as statistics. The result is a world that has forgotten what makes humanity sacred.
