The Pharmacy of the Sacred Forest: Medicinal Plants and Ancestral Wisdom of the Jola Healers (Gambia)

By Dr. Josep Lluís Berdonces – “Out of sight, out of mind,” goes a traditional proverb that Malang often repeats.

The Habit Layer: What Real-World Data Tells Us About Combining a Natural Medication With AI-Guided Nutrition for Sustainable Weight Loss

By Matthew Melnick, Founder, Thinnr Weight Loss – I want to walk through what we actually observed, be honest about what the data is and is not, make the case for why the delivery mechanism matters as much as the intervention itself, and argue that the practices best positioned for the next decade of metabolic care are the ones leaning into this kind of technology rather than treating it as a threat.

Do You Have Nerve Pain?

By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – Physicians are usually pretty good at diagnosing nerve pain and its triggers. Still, it’s a good idea to be sure that your doctor has looked for the treatable causes.

By Deborah Nathan – Menopause-related bone loss can affect both cortical bone, the dense outer layer of bone, and trabecular bone, the porous, honeycomb-like bone found inside areas such as the spine, hip, and ends of long bones. Because trabecular bone is remodeled more frequently than cortical bone, it may be affected earlier and more rapidly by estrogen decline.

Inflammation Pain: Think “Arthritis”

By Jacob Teitelbaum, MD – The medications used to suppress inflammation are problematic. For example, arthritis medications are associated with a 35% increased risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as bleeding ulcers.

It’s Not Your Fault You’re Stupid

By Gary Null, PhD – You have been shaped by systems designed to produce compliant, predictable people. But, you are a person with a mind. And that mind, properly used, is more powerful than any institution ever built to contain it.
