Ultra-Processed People by Dr. Chris van Tulleken explores how ultra-processed foods shape our health, appetite, and society. The book explains how these foods are engineered to be addictive, disrupt metabolism, and contribute to obesity, diabetes, and chronic disease. Drawing on science, personal experience, and public health research, van Tulleken highlights how modern food environments influence behavior more than willpower. The book encourages greater awareness, food literacy, and systemic change to support healthier eating habits.
Hearing experts recommend everyone get a baseline hearing test around age 50. While hearing loss is often associated with older age, it commonly begins earlier and can progress quietly for years. A hearing test at 50 helps detect changes early, when treatment options are most effective. It also creates a clear baseline, so future changes are easier to track. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to cognitive decline, depression, and increased fall risk. About one in four adults aged 50 to 65 already experience some degree of hearing loss. After 50, testing every two to three years is recommended, with more frequent checkups after 65.
