Stories like this really make you wonder about the power of hope and modern medicine. What’s your take on medical miracles? #Health #BodyHealth #LosAngeles30Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowTV’s Abortion Storylines: Still Missing the MarkDid you notice fewer TV characters actually having abortions this year? Turns out, only 37% of on-screen abortion plotlines showed characters going through with it—a 14% drop since 2023. Plus, most shows gloss over real-life struggles like cost, distance, or being a parent. And way too many stories push shame or ignore how common abortion really is. At least there’s a small win: more characters of color are finally being represented. Still, TV’s got a long way to go for real talk on abortion. #Health #BodyHealth #TVRepresentation01Share

William Vasquez+FollowWhy California’s wild mushroom hunt is turning deadlyMushroom foraging in California’s forests has become a real health crisis, with a surge in poisonings linked to the deadly death cap mushroom.

The recent spike in cases, especially around Monterey and the Bay Area, has put both kids and adults in the hospital, and even led to one death. With mushrooms popping up everywhere after heavy rains, officials are urging everyone: skip the wild picking and stick to store-bought varieties. Has anyone in your circle ever foraged for mushrooms? #Health #BodyHealth #California00Share

tuckerariel+FollowWhy Women’s Health Gets OverlookedDid you know women’s health issues are still being sidelined in medical research and care? Germany’s health minister is calling out the fact that women’s symptoms (like with heart disease) and reactions to meds are often ignored. There’s now €11.5 million in funding to fix this, plus talk of more support for things like endometriosis and period pain. Imagine if workplaces actually understood what women go through every month! #Health #BodyHealth #WomensHealth00Share
