Health and wellness advice, facts, and tips for living a well-balanced and comfortable lifestyle.
Welcome back to JoinAStudy’s ongoing series on Longevity and Aging! In the first article of this series, we explored the biological processes that cause aging. Scientists now know aging is not controlled by a single factor but by many cellular systems that gradually lose efficiency over time. The next big question researchers are trying to answer is
Welcome to part one of a multi-part series exploring the science of aging, separating evidence-based medicine from hype while highlighting active research shaping the future of longevity related healthcare. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be diving into the cellular processes that cause aging, and looking more closely at longevity drugs
Researchers have found that a probiotic commonly found in kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, may help the body remove tiny plastic particles from the gut. These particles, known as nanoplastics, are extremely small (about one-millionth of a meter or less) and are formed when larger plastics break down. They can enter the human body
A new study from researchers at the University of Cambridge suggests that many people regain weight after stopping popular weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. However, the research also found that patients typically keep off about a quarter of the weight they originally lost. These medications belong to a class of drugs that
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system (normally responsible for fighting infections) mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. This misdirected response can cause inflammation, pain, fatigue, and damage to organs or entire systems. More than 80 autoimmune conditions have been identified by medical professionals, but some are far more common and better understood than others.

Roche AG has reported strong results from a mid-stage clinical trial of its experimental weight loss drug, CT-388, showing that study subjects lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight after 48 weeks of observation. Based on these findings, the company plans to move the drug into large Phase 3 trials later this year.

Welcome to Part 2 of our ongoing series covering autoimmune diseases. Today we’ll be learning about autoimmune diseases that specifically affect the endocrine system, and cause hormone imbalances which can upset the body’s natural functions. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system (normally responsible for fighting infections) mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. This misdirected
