In its July 2025 health bulletin, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) underscored two significant developments: the mental health benefits of open‑ocean swimming and a landmark personalized gene therapy treatment for an infant with a rare genetic disorder. Recent research highlighted by the NIH illustrates that open‑ocean swimming delivers physical and psychological benefits beyond conventional forms of exercise. Studies show that immersing in ocean waters can lower cortisol levels—the body’s main stress hormone—while promoting better mood and cognitive clarity.

By Anastasia Schenk, Pediatric Feeding Specialist & Founder of Early Eaters Club At 2 years old, Emma refused to touch anything but crackers.

What if it was actually the body’s way of expressing deeper developmental needs—signals that, if ignored, could shape a child’s lifelong relationship with food? As a…

Emory University has published a landmark study in npj Aging showing for the first time that psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin (found in psychedelic mushrooms), can significantly slow cellular aging and extend lifespan—both in human cells and in aged mice. In laboratory tests, human skin and lung fibroblasts treated with psilocin displayed a dramatic increase in lifespan—up to 57% longer before reaching replicative senescence, compared to untreated cells. Lower concentrations yielded about 29% lifespan extension, while a 100 µM dose produced the maximum effect. Treated cells also showed preserved telomere length, reduced oxidative stress markers, and elevated levels of…
