Rebound Covid… it’s an issue that has been popping up for some getting sick, but it is also happening to people that were treated with the antiviral Paxlovid.  Some are getting better and testing negative, only to rebound with symptoms and test positive after the illness has dissipated.  It has caused the CDC to change its guidelines and tell people with rebound symptoms to isolate for another 5 days.  Karen Weintraub, health reporter at USA Today, joins us for what to know.

 

Next, testosterone therapy is changing the game for men and aging.  The hormone is responsible for regulating the male sex drive, generating red blood cells, making sperm and a host of other things.  As you get older these levels drop, but doctors are increasingly prescribing therapies to patients and other companies are even offering treatment plans to boost levels.  Andrew Zaleski, nutrition and health writer at GQ Magazine, joins us for how more men are looking to testosterone to improve their lives.

 

Finally, polyamorous couples… those who are open to romantic relationships with more than one person at a time are finding ways to make commitments official since they can’t get married.  It’s still illegal to marry more than one person at a time.  For these couples, some are turning to commitment ceremonies that share aspects of traditional marriages and others that are completely custom.  Suzannah Weiss, contributor to the Washington Post, joins us for how it all works.
