It's a shame patients in #palliativecare in the US can't access #psychedelics under Right to Try Laws, but that may soon change now that DEA is considering rescheduling, which would allow it to be used for this purpose. Lots of science supports this use! www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...
These drugs could be a game changer for end-of-life care
Certain psychoactive substances can improve the mental health of terminally ill cancer patients—but few patients can currently access them.

Longevity may be a hot topic right now, but so much of what's out there is plain wrong. My latest Prevention mag article provides the actual facts on living longer and healthier today www.prevention.com/health/a7002.... #longevity #wellness #womenshealth

Promising research may well lead to life-lengthening therapies in the future.

My latest for Prevention mag details fascinating research on cutting-edge #longevity treatments like rapamycin and others. But what struck me most is that the most evidence-based longevity actions remain the basics. Here's my sidebar on how to REALLY live longer and healthier #health #womenshealth

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

BASH: Footage shows him holding a cell phone, not a gun. Did he at any point pull out his weapon?

BOVINO: We do know that the suspect did bring a weapon, a loaded 9mm high capacity handgun, to a riot.

(That's a no!)

Myths about #renewableenergy are getting in the way of this #climatechange transition. My latest for NatGeo showcases common myths/lies about #EVs, #solar, #windpower and more. (Not paywalled!) P.S. I'm loving the Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV I bought last fall. Drives like a dream and cheap to power.

For a nat'l women's mag, I'm looking for women in US taking control of their #health by taking a drug their regular doc wouldn't necessarily prescribe--testosterone, rapamycin, metformin w/o diabetes, low-dose GLP1s, etc. Pseudonym ok. DM details. Thanks! #journorequest #mediarequest #womenshealth

#seekingsources Looking for women 30s to 60s for a mag article who is taking charge of your health by seeking out Rx meds (eg by telehealth, alt doc) rather than asking your regular physician. testosterone, microdosed GLP1s, rapamycin, metformin, etc. Pseudonym can be used. DM if this is you. Thx!

Late #flu mutations made the virus a mismatch to the current vaccine--and paradoxically make it more important to get. My latest for NatGeo (no paywall) www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

Foremost among the #psychedelicmedicines being studied, #LSD has the biggest branding problem. But recent research points to the counterculture's drug's potentially strong benefits, with or without the high. Paywalled NatGeo piece but I'm happy to send PDFs www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...
LSD for anxiety and depression? Some early studies show promise.
Researchers are investigating whether the drug could be used in mainstream medicine—with and without its hallucinatory effects.

I’m old enough to remember when the word “deplorable” was a major political scandal. Unbelievable that this was on an official government account

If you're thinking of buying an #electricvehicle, now is the time. Fed tax credits (and matching company rebates for those not qualifying) end Sept 30, and the cars are better than ever. I wrote about my experience buying one at NatGeo
