A full-body MRI promises peace of mind and control, but in a healthy person it more often triggers a search for incidental findings. We explain who may need it and what alternatives are available.
Melatonin may seem like a harmless supplement, but taking it for months requires a closer look. We examine the signal of a risk of heart failure and outline a plan for chronic insomnia.
Peppermint oil has been linked to lower blood pressure after a short study. We explain why 20 days of observation are no reason to stop taking your prescribed medication.
High lipoprotein(a) is often inherited and can go unnoticed for years. We explain who needs the test and why exercise and supplements do not change its level.

When a doctor says "MCI, nothing critical," the anxiety still doesn't go away: memory is who you are. The Bredesen protocol boldly proposes not an "Alzheimer's pill," but the search for 36 holes in the brain's "roof" — and an attempt to patch each one.

The material covers peptides and which of them are genuinely approved, the epigenetics of ageing and cellular "noise", supplements and the tests sold as personalisation.

Nothing written here is medical advice — decisions about taking anything belong to a doctor.
