The Labour government has embarked on a reorganisation of the NHS in England. And now the Health Bill (also known as the ‘NHS Modernisation Bill') has been introduced in parliament to effect the changes. Key provisions include merging NHS England into the Department of Health and Social Care, reforming data sharing to support creating a single patient record and shaking up patient voice functions by abolishing Healthwatch. But will any of this make a real difference to patients and the public? We take a closer look at what's in the bill and what it really means, and ask how Wes Streeting's departure as health secretary is likely to affect the government's reform agenda. Hugh Alderwick, Director of Policy and Research at the Health Foundation, is joined by: Clare Gerada, a GP and a crossbench peer in the House of Lords. Nicholas Timmins, an author and journalist who writes about the welfare state and the NHS and a senior fellow at the Institute for Government. Show notesUK parliament.

 In Chinese astrology,  is one of the most powerful and unpredictable combinations in the 60-year cycle. The last one was in 1966, and the next one begins on February 17, 2026.Here is a forecast for the year, applying the principles of Chinese astrology to analyze the energy, opportunities, and challenges we might expect.The Core Elements: Understanding the Fire HorseTo understand the forecast, you have to look at the specific elements at play:The Animal (Horse): The Horse is Yang, active, energetic, independent, and loves freedom. It hates restrictions and moves fast.The Element (Fire): This is a Yang Fire year. Yang Fire is the fire of the sun—blazing, bright, illuminating, but also capable of scorching everything in its path if it gets out of control.The Celestial Stem (Bing): "Bing" represents pure Yang Fire. When you put Yang Fire on top of a Yang Fire Horse, you get a double-dose of intense, explosive energy.General Forecast: The Year of Blazing PassionBecause this is a double-fire year, the energy is extreme. It is a year of high highs and low lows. There is very little middle ground.1. Speed and RevolutionThe Horse moves fast, and Fire makes it move faster. This year will feel like life is on fast-forward. Industries related to speed, communication, and energy (technology, transportation, AI, energy sectors) will likely see rapid, disruptive changes. Innovation will happen at a breakneck pace.2. Passion and ConflictFire represents passion, but it also represents war and anger. On a personal level, relationships formed this year can be incredibly passionate but may burn out just as quickly. On a global scale, this can indicate an increase in conflicts, heated arguments, and social unrest. People will be less willing to compromise and more willing to fight for what they believe is right.3. VolatilityThe Fire Horse is notoriously difficult to control. This applies to the stock market, political landscapes, and personal plans. Expect the unexpected. Plans made in January may be completely irrelevant by June. Flexibility will be the key to survival.Forecast by Zodiac SignsBest Signs for 2026:Tiger and Dog: These are the Horse's closest allies (the triad of affinity). The Fire Horse energy will boost your courage and energy. It's a year to take risks and expand your horizons.Goat (Sheep) and Tiger: The Goat (Yin Earth) can actually benefit from the Fire Horse, as Fire creates Earth. If you are a Goat, the intense energy of the year can feel productive and grounding rather than chaotic.Challenging Signs (Clashing with the Horse):Rat: The Rat and Horse are direct opposites (opposite signs on the zodiac wheel). This is a year of direct conflict. Rats may feel like they are swimming against the current. Expect major changes, potential moves, or relationship shake-ups. It's a year to be cautious and avoid legal disputes.Rooster: The Rooster is in a secret conflict with the Horse. This can manifest as internal frustration—feeling like you're working hard but getting no recognition, or feeling restricted by rules you don't agree with.The Rabbit:2026 is specifically difficult for the Rabbit because of a concept known as the "Pillar of Fatalism." Rabbits should be extremely cautious with their health, avoid travel to remote places, and double-check all legal documents.Elemental InteractionsFire Melts Metal: Those born in Years of the Monkey and Rooster (Metal signs) may feel "melted" or drained by the overwhelming Fire. They need to conserve energy and not overexert themselves.Fire Burns Earth: Earth signs (Dragon, Goat, Dog) might feel the heat. The Earth can be cracked and dried out by too much Fire. They need to ensure stability and not let the fast pace of the year burn them out.Water Controls Fire: Water signs (Rat, Pig) are the only ones who can naturally control this energy. However, if the Fire is too strong, the Water evaporates. Pigs and Rats can succeed this year, but only if they are strategic and don't try to fight every fire head-on.The "Fire Horse Curse" – Should You Be Worried?In traditional Chinese culture, there is a superstition that girls born in the year of the Fire Horse are "cursed" because they will be too strong-willed to control, leading to a difficult life. In modern times, this is generally seen as an outdated myth, but it reflects the astrological truth: People born in 2026 (starting Feb 17) will have very strong, independent, and fiery personalities. They will be natural leaders, but they will need to learn patience and emotional regulation to avoid burning bridges.Summary Forecast2026 is a year to harness the fire, not be consumed by it.Career: Move fast, but don't get burned by impatience. It is a great year for entrepreneurs and starting new projects, but a risky year for long-term, slow-burn investments.Love: Passion is high, but so is the potential for jealousy and arguments. Keep the spark alive without letting it become a wildfire.Health: Watch out for inflammation, heart issues, and stress. The Fire energy can lead to burnout if you don't take time to cool down.In short: Buckle up. 2026 will be wild, bright, and fast. It's a year for bold moves, but you must respect the heat.My Video:  The Year of the Fire Horse  https://youtu.be/Ebqe1hikWr0My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Year-of-the-Fire-Horse.mp3

Jan 8, 2026 ~ Addiction treatment is entering a new era of personalization. Lloyd Jackson spotlights Henry Ford Maplegrove Addiction Treatment Center and Dr. Joshua Smith, a physician specializing in addiction medicine, who is redefining recovery through individualized care and virtual support. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Maplegrove crafts treatment plans around each patient's unique needs—considering factors like work schedules, transportation, and family responsibilities. This philosophy emphasizes partnership, combining medical visits, therapy, and community resources such as AA and NA with innovative virtual care options that remove barriers to engagement. Dr. Smith explains that recovery isn't a quick fix or a single stay in rehab—it's an ongoing process. Patients often remain connected for years, supported by therapists, peer recovery coaches, and online meetings that make help accessible anytime, anywhere. For those who feel they're “not sick enough” for rehab, Dr. Smith offers reassurance: if you're questioning whether you need help, you probably do. By addressing the mental, emotional, and physical roots of addiction, Maplegrove provides hope and practical solutions for individuals and families, helping patients reclaim their lives and independence.

The tiny bean-shaped structures in your cells – mitochondria – are little powerhouses. Recent research suggests they may unlock overall good health, or, when they fail, cause diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer's. How strong is the science for these claims and what, if anything, should we be doing to improve our mitochondrial health? Should we take a cue from influencers who suggest drinking an industrial dye called methylene blue? Meanwhile, there have been beefed up calls for adding protein to our diets by eating high protein ice cream, energy bars and huge slabs of meat. Protein builds muscles, but is the muscle of science behind these claims? This week, we consider recent health trends on Skeptic Check. Guests: Martin Picard – Professor of behavioral medicine and mitochondrial psychobiology at Columbia University, where he runs the Mitochondrial Psychobiology Group. Howard LeWine – General internal medicine physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Chief Medical Editor at Harvard Health Publishing, and editor in chief of Harvard Men's Health Watch.
