Story at-a-glance Bone issues were once seen only among the elderly, but now young adults are also developing osteopenia, stress fractures, arthritis, and other signs of skeletal decline Poor sleep, chronic stress, sedentary habits, ultraprocessed diets, and harmful habits like smoking and alcohol use are key drivers behind the rising rates of bone loss in younger populations Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2 are all essential for bone health. Without proper balance, calcium can't be absorbed, used effectively, or kept out of arteries Diets high in ultraprocessed foods strip the body of key nutrients and promote inflammation. Excess iron also damages bone cells and increases fracture risk Weight-bearing exercises like resistance training, walking, and jumping stimulate bone growth and strengthen the skeletal structure at the molecular level
Story at-a-glance Corticosteroids shut down natural cortisol production; even short-term use as brief as 14 days suppresses adrenal function, creating dangerous dependency on synthetic hormones A European study reveals widespread risk; over 500,000 patients showed six times higher adrenal insufficiency rates with oral steroids; even "safe" inhaled versions increased risk by 55% Sudden steroid withdrawal triggers emergency situations requiring immediate medical care due to collapsed fluid and electrolyte balance Nearly half (48.7%) of oral steroid patients develop adrenal suppression, yet most aren't warned about or tested for this serious condition Recovery requires metabolic repair; focus on reducing inflammation, fixing insulin resistance, optimizing sleep cycles and supporting natural cortisol rhythms rather than more medications
Story at-a-glance Homemade puppy meals using affordable ingredients like rice, ground beef, liver, and eggs are healthier and more cost-effective than commercial kibble Dogs need balanced nutrition, which includes protein for muscle development, healthy fats for energy and cell function, and minimal carbohydrates from rice for basic glucose requirements Ground eggshells provide essential calcium for bone development, while egg yolks contribute vitamins A, B, and K Dr. Mercola's "Puppy Power Meal" recipe serves 1 cup per 10 pounds of body weight and can be batch-cooked, portioned, and frozen for convenient feeding Proper preparation includes rendering tallow in a pressure cooker, cooking ingredients separately, and combining with essential supplements like fish oil for omega-3 fatty acids

Story at-a-glance Natural light is an essential nutrient many of us lack within our bodies. When ultraviolet light is introduced into the bloodstream, remarkable health benefits emerge The dermatology industry created hysteria about benign sun-induced cancers while ignoring that deadly melanoma actually results from sunlight deficiency, not excess exposure Once ultraviolet blood irradiation (UVBI) was discovered in the 1930s, it produced miraculous results for patients on the verge of death and was quickly adopted by hospitals throughout America, demonstrating remarkable efficacy for a wide range of diseases To neutralize this competition, the American Medical Association published a doctored study that "debunked" UVBI, and it became a forgotten therapy. Russians and Germans recognized its value and have produced decades of research showing UVBI's remarkable utility This article explores UVBI's remarkable history, systematic suppression, and scientific foundation, demonstrating why this therapy represents one of medicine's lost opportunities
Story at-a-glance Sitting more than 10.6 hours daily increases heart failure risk by 45% and cardiovascular death risk by 62%, even for those who regularly exercise Breaking up sedentary time is important; even reallocating 30 minutes of sitting to light activity reduces heart failure risk by 7% Prolonged sitting impairs blood circulation, decreases insulin sensitivity and reduces mitochondrial activity, which damages cardiovascular health over time Regular movement throughout the day is necessary to protect your heart health and metabolic function Simple strategies like standing for 10 minutes every hour and integrating more walking into your daily routine significantly lower cardiovascular risks
Story at-a-glance More than 85% of high ultraprocessed food (UPF) consumers meet clinical criteria for food addiction, including symptoms like cravings, withdrawal and loss of control People who eat more UPFs report higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress, confirming that these foods worsen mood and emotional health UPFs hijack your brain's reward system, overstimulating feel-good chemicals like dopamine, opioids and endocannabinoids, which makes quitting feel nearly impossible Damage to the gut microbiome caused by UPFs alters how your brain handles cravings and stress, increasing emotional eating and reducing impulse control Cutting out vegetable oils, which are high in linoleic acid, going cold turkey for five days and rebuilding gut health with whole foods helps break the addiction cycle and restore mood balance

Story at-a-glance Pepcid (famotidine) uniquely blocks serotonin activity unlike other H2 blockers, helping interrupt chronic pain, inflammation and fatigue caused by elevated serotonin levels A 70-year-old patient's life-threatening serotonin syndrome was rapidly reversed within 15 minutes using intravenous famotidine, demonstrating its powerful anti-serotonin effects Elevated serotonin impairs mitochondrial energy production and drives chronic inflammation, depression and pain, contrary to the popular "feel-good chemical" misconception Pepcid is safer than recalled Zantac (ranitidine) and more potent than older H2 blockers, with fewer drug interactions and decades of proven safety Unlike proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with serious long-term risks, Pepcid offers a safer approach by targeting serotonin overload while providing effective heartburn relief
Story at-a-glance Research shows starch-based "biodegradable" plastics break down into microplastics that accumulate in organs, causing significant tissue damage in the liver, intestines and ovaries Even at low doses similar to human environmental exposure, these microplastics disrupt blood glucose levels and trigger metabolic problems within just three months Starch-based microplastics disturb gut microbiome balance and circadian rhythms, leading to long-term health issues including weight gain and compromised immunity The damage occurs through oxidative stress mechanisms and severity increases at higher exposure levels, challenging the assumption that biodegradable means safe Practical protection strategies include using glass or stainless steel containers, filtering drinking water, avoiding plastic food packaging, choosing natural fiber clothing and making smart everyday swaps
Story at-a-glance Bleeding, painful, or swollen gums could be an early warning sign of deeper health issues, including heart disease, depression, and diabetes, even before other symptoms show up In a study of over 500,000 people, those with painful gums had a 54% higher risk of living with multiple chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and alcohol-related illness Pain is the strongest predictors of poor health, making it essential to take gum discomfort seriously and not brush it off Researchers found that harmful oral bacteria escape through inflamed gums, enter the bloodstream, and trigger inflammation in distant organs including the brain, heart, and lungs Addressing gum disease early by reducing inflammation, improving diet, and adopting a better oral care routine could lower your risk for serious long-term health problems

Story at-a-glance People managing multiple chronic illnesses are nearly twice as likely to develop depression, even if they've never had mental health issues before, according to a decade-long study Living with both heart disease and diabetes drastically increases your future depression risk, making cardiometabolic combinations among the most dangerous for emotional health outcomes Chronic illnesses like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), liver disease, and bowel disorders sharply increase your risk of depression by overwhelming your body's ability to regulate mood and energy Women with joint and bone issues like arthritis face a higher depression risk than men with the same diagnosis, revealing a serious and often ignored gender vulnerability Depression doesn't just follow disease — it drives it. Left untreated, it speeds up illness progression, weakens your immune system, and increases your chances of hospitalization
Story at-a-glance The MAHA Commission's new report identifies food toxins, overmedication and environmental stressors as core drivers behind the surge in childhood chronic illness CDC data show that 87% of U.S. children have glyphosate in their urine, pointing to daily exposure through common foods like wheat, oats and corn-based snacks Federal agencies are now being mobilized to close research gaps, overhaul outdated food safety laws and launch real-time tracking of toxic exposures Chronic illness isn't just about genetics; it's the result of daily inputs like poor food quality, artificial light, lack of movement and excess screen time Removing inflammatory foods, restoring sleep and sunlight routines, and cleaning up your home environment gives your child's biology the conditions it needs to heal

UPDATED: New chapters from KatieIn 1992, nine-year-old Katie Beers was kidnapped by a family friend and locked in an underground box for 17 days. Katie has now come forward to tell the story that created a national media storm as reporters uncovered the truth about her pre-kidnapping life of neglect and sexual abuse and the details of her rescue. She shares how this experience and the recent death of her kidnapper, John Esposito, has affected her life. Despite the horrible reality of Katie's days of being chained in darkness, the kidnapping was, in fact, the climactic end of a tragic childhood and the beginning of a new life. Katie breaks her silence and reveals her inspiring healing process to the journalist who covered the story of the disappearance more than twenty years ago.Buried Memories is the only source that includes the complete details of her traumatic childhood, transcriptions of recordings from Esposito, a first-hand account of how Katie felt after Esposito's death in 2013, and Katie's hopeful view of the future as she looks back into her dark past.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

BREAK: TIDWELL TREES_FINAL STORY 1: Chattahoochee’s Paces Mill Park Gets Long-Awaited Facelift After nine months of construction, Paces Mill Park in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area reopened, marking the completion of Phase 1 of the $15.8 million New Day Palisades renovation. Updates include improved parking, trail and river access, erosion control, and native prairie restoration. The $6.3 million phase finished on time and under budget. Officials celebrated the park’s sustainable upgrades, emphasizing environmental stewardship. Phase 2, set for 2026-2027, will add a visitor center, pavilion, river overlooks, and more. The park, part of a 48-mile recreation area established in 1978, sees over 270,000 visitors annually. STORY 2: Police Investigating Apparent Murder-Suicide in Northeast Cobb Cobb Police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide involving a man and woman at a home on Research Drive in northeast Cobb. Officers responded Saturday morning and believe the man, a resident of the home, was the offender. The victims' names have not been released. Police urge anyone with information to call (770) 499-3945. STORY 3: Cobb to Consider Donation, Complete Fullers Park Renovations The Cobb County Board of Commissioners will vote on accepting a $207,482 donation from the East Side Baseball Association to complete renovations at Fullers Park in Marietta. The funds will cover upgrades, including replacing the infield with synthetic turf for better playing conditions and reduced maintenance. The project, part of the 2011 SPLOST program, lacked sufficient funds to finish without the donation. Commissioner JoAnn Birrell praised the association’s support, highlighting the park’s value to the community. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.
