The Melatonin-Heart Connection: Fact or Fear?
In this episode, we dive deep into the growing conversation around melatonin—America’s favorite over-the-counter sleep aid—and its rumored effects on heart health. As melatonin use rises, so do headlines suggesting it may influence cardiovascular function. But are these claims grounded in solid science, or are they simply fear-driven misunderstandings?

Folate, Fever, and the Future of Autism Research
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now launched a safety label change warning of the dangers of Tylenol in pregnant mothers. The FDA also announced approval of leucovorin, a form of folic acid suggested as a treatment for autism symptoms. The medical community, in collusion with public health officials, has long pointed to a ‘blame-the-victim’ approach, saying it was just children with unlucky genetics – a nod to eugenics musings and insulting to families looking for answers.

Best Supplements for Athletic Performance and Recovery
