Dr. Ashish Jha, former White House COVID-19 response chief, has shifted his stance on the pandemic’s origin, now believing a lab leak is more likely than a natural animal spillover — a view he’s held since his time in government.

A massive 14-foot great hammerhead shark washed ashore in North Carolina, sparking wild theories — including that it might be the same one caught by the ILM Shark Club weeks prior.

They also emphasized their quick, careful release — under 15 minutes, with a member swimming the shark to deeper waters — and

New research flips the script on protein: for sedentary folks, cutting back might be healthier than calorie-cutting, with studies linking lower protein to better metabolism, less cellular damage, and improved cell repair. The hormone FGF21 spikes when protein drops, helping burn energy, reduce inflammation, and stabilize blood sugar—especially when you’re not active. Three amino acids (methionine, isoleucine, valine) may drive harmful growth processes if overeaten. But don’t ditch protein
