Metabolism does more than affect weight—it’s tied to energy, stress, sleep and gut health.Stress, sleep, gut health and insulin sensitivity all influence how your body burns energy.Protein, strength training and regular meals help support a healthy, efficient metabolism. When you’re feeling sluggish or struggling to maintain your weight, it’s tempting to blame a “slow” metabolism. But metabolism isn’t a simple on-off switch you can flip with a new workout or diet trend. While what you eat and how much you move are important, your metabolism is far more nuanced. It’s actually a complex system—the sum of all the chemical reactions…

Trial finds nicotinamide riboside supplementation raises NAD+ levels and improves fatigue and sleep, hinting at healthspan links. Long COVID remains a stubborn reminder that viral infections can echo long after the acute phase has passed; for many, the symptoms are less a coda than a lingering refrain. Fatigue, disrupted sleep, cognitive fog and low mood continue to affect an estimated one in five adults who have had COVID-19, blurring the boundary between infection and chronic condition. Now, a clinical study published in eClinicalMedicine (The Lancet) suggests that supporting the body’s cellular energy systems may help some of those affected. Led…

Taking Stacker diet pills (or any weight-loss pills) can come with a range of potential side effects.1. Caffeine ToxicityBecause of their high caffeine content, herbal diet pills like Stacker 2 and 3 may cause nervousness, shaking, headaches, and dizziness.[7]Too much caffeine can also sometimes lead to caffeine toxicity, with symptoms like restlessness, anxiety, arrhythmias, nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalance.[8]It’s hard to determine just how much caffeine is in each Stacker product because the amount often isn’t clearly listed on the label. But most contain somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 to 400 mg (milligrams) of caffeine, which is the equivalent…

Clinical trials generate a wealth of imaging data, but trial sponsors, site investigators, drug developers, and other stakeholders often can’t see it without extensive delays. Creating shared access—without compromising security or disrupting trial flow—would enable effective decisions around trial viability and optimization.In this GEN webinar, experts from Perceptive Imaging and Flywheel explore how a modern shared imaging data platform can accelerate decision-making, improve data analysis, and increase data usability across the clinical trial ecosystem. They will discuss how validated imaging workflows can streamline operations while unlocking the full value of imaging data in early-stage and multi-center trials. Key takeaways from the…

Credit: vchal/ Getty Images Pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25 percent of all pregnancies, mostly during the first trimester, according to at least one estimate, with about half of the cases being caused by genetic or chromosomal issues. Should pregnancy loss occur three or more times, the situation is designated as recurrent pregnancy loss. Oftentimes the causes of recurrent pregnancy loss are unknown. But answers may be coming thanks to new research using optical genome mapping (OGM) technology, a tool for analyzing genome structures at high resolution to detect abnormalities missed by traditional sequencing. Separate studies led…

A new study, by researchers from Atlantic Technological University, ATU Galway City, Ireland, explored whether sensory decline, particularly in taste perception, occurs during and after menopause and the impact of these alterations on dietary behaviour.The insights are important for healthcare professionals as well as brands and formulators aiming to support this audience with nutrition solutions.“Women’s eating habits and nutritional choices have been found to be influenced by altered taste perception and increased sensitivity to flavours and odours,” the report concluded. “Which are frequently associated with weight fluctuations and other menopausal symptoms.” Conducted via online focus groups with women living in…
