Each post gives short, useful advice you can act on today — not just theory. Below I summarize what we published and the main takeaways so you can jump to what matters.
This month's posts

Practical takeaways
Want quick next steps? For fertility tracking, pick an app that records symptoms and lets you export data to share with your clinician. If you try coffee charcoal, start low, check product sourcing, and avoid using it long-term without medical advice. Athletes: dry gear, don't share towels, treat cuts quickly. If you have recurrent bladder spasms, ask about endometriosis when antibiotics fail. For antipsychotics like lurasidone or chlorpromazine, keep regular follow-ups, track side effects, and discuss dose adjustments or switches if movement or memory issues appear.
