Health Talk America

The Nine-Dollar Answer

A generic pill that's been sitting in pharmacies for decades may be quietly slowing down aging — and

that's just the beginning of this hour. We tackle a listener's fight to rebuild muscle mass lost to GLP1

medication, name vitamin D our Health Alternative of the Week, and close with a Health Mystery nineteen years in the making — a diagnosis medicine kept missing, cracked open by a stranger watching television.

The Mother's Mouth: Why a Cavity at Four Predicts a Heart at Forty

A cavity in a four-year-old and an artery at forty — sounds impossible, until you see the research. Dr.

Mark Cannon of Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine joins Dr. Adam Brockman for a conversation that starts before a baby's first tooth and reaches all the way into adult heart disease and diabetes.

Plus: the real numbers on who actually got vaccinated, and what to do for your health right now, whatever you decided back then.

But the hour takes a hard turn with a Health Mystery that's sparking outrage across the medical world: a six-year-old girl, an $800,000 experimental treatment, and a death that was never supposed to see the light of day. Plus, the one habit Dr. Brockman says could change how you navigate your own health decisions for good.
