…#RFKJr on Monday announced initiatives intended to reduce #SSRI use, while attempting to reassure Americans who still “want” [have] to take them. They include reimbursement guidelines for physicians who help patients come off of the medications as well as plans to share data on prescribing trends & an investment in training for #healthcare providers.

Spring bloom arrived early across much of the United States this year, bringing pretty flowers and trees into view while also handing allergy sufferers an early dose of sneezing, itchy eyes and worse. Another side effect of our changing climate. Read more from @InsideClimateNews@flipboard.com:

From Lisa McNally (LinkedIn):
'We know from decades of research that only 20% of health outcomes are determined by clinical factors. The other 80% is determined by other factors... our home, education, employment, environment, health behaviours and social connections.
This 80% can be influenced through investment in communities. Investment of time, funding, trust and (most importantly) power...'

Climate change could also be increasing the time spent outdoors in regions that used to have fewer warm-weather days, contributing to an increase in skin cancers in northern regions like Canada and Scandinavia, according to a 2025 research paper.

Red-light therapy does have health benefits but not the ones you think.
From @NewScientist@flipboard.com: "Red-light therapy promises to treat everything from acne and hair loss to depression and chronic pain. Many of these claims are overhyped, but evidence suggests it can have healing powers."
