HEALTH TALK AMERICA

Two meals can match on calories and nutrients and still change your body and brain differently. New research suggests fat cells may keep a "memory" of obesity that drives weight back on. Dr. Adam Brockman also covers why the exercise you do at work may not protect your brain like the exercise you choose, a debate over peptides, and the Health Alternative of the Week, black cumin seed oil. We also take a serious look at teaching young people about consent and why it's a public health issue.

Doctors talk about gut feelings, but what happens when intuition becomes a trained skill? Certified Medical Intuitive Practitioner Wendie Colter, president of the National Organization for Medical Intuition, joins Dr. Adam Brockman to explain what medical intuition is and what it is not. They also look at what the early research shows and where the science still needs to catch up. It's an honest, open-minded look at a topic that will make some listeners lean in and others raise an eyebrow.

This hour on Health Talk America, Dr. Adam Brockman opens with the health headlines: a randomizedtrial showing vitamin K2 and D3 slowed coronary artery calcification by 21%, the truth about insomnia and stroke risk, the cardiovascular upside of GLP-1 medications and the very rare vision warning that comes with them, and the cardiac rehab program that cuts heart attack risk 28% while most patients never getoffered it. Plus, school's back in session and the rashes are arriving with it. Dr. Adam walks parents through hand, foot and mouth, fifth disease, and the one sign that means emergency room, not pediatrician. And our Health Mystery of the Week: a sugar your body has never produced, sitting inside your tissues right now, that your immune system has been quietly fighting for years. The mystery was never whether your immune system is working. It's what it's been working on.Health Headlines of the WeekHealth Alternative of the WeekHealth Mystery of the Week
