Kevin Craig+FollowInsurers Are Playing Doctor Now?!Aetna and Cigna are basically telling doctors, “We know better”—even if they’ve never seen you. They’re using algorithms to downplay how complex your care is, which means your doctor gets paid less and has to jump through hoops to fight back. This could push more independent docs out of business, jack up prices, and make it even harder to find a doctor who actually has time for you. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #healthcare10Share

Lucas Mendez+FollowThe Silent Anxiety That Shows Up as Chest Tightness Many women over 40 report chest tightness, breathlessness, or a “heavy pressure” that appears during stressful weeks. Here’s the frightening truth: women are 50% more likely than men to have cardiac symptoms dismissed as anxiety, according to the Journal of Women’s Health. But this is the paradox — anxiety can mimic cardiac symptoms, but cardiac symptoms are too often minimized as “stress.” So women end up living in a psychological limbo: scared, unheard, and unsure which signals to trust. Chest tightness in midlife tends to rise when cortisol stays high for too long — caregiving stress, work strain, perimenopause hormonal shifts. The body isn’t malfunctioning. It’s over-functioning. A practical starting point: Track when symptoms appear — after meals? At night? At work? Patterns often reveal what panic hides. You’re not weak for being scared. You’re human for wanting answers. #Health#WomensHealth #HeartHealth50Share

Charles Christensen+FollowTattoos & Melanoma: What No One Told UsOkay, this is wild—Swedish researchers just found that people with tattoos have a 29% higher risk of melanoma, even after factoring in sun exposure. The kicker? Only 30% of cases showed up on the tattoo itself, so it’s not just about sunburned ink.

Anyone else suddenly curious what’s in their tattoo ink? #Health #BodyHealth #SkinCancerAwareness10Share
