Can a simple blood test predict Alzheimer's before symptoms start? Is pink noise the secret to a better night's sleep?

Join Tanner, Dr. Miles, and Jade (Mortal Kombat warrior?) for another breakdown of the latest headlines in medicine and health science. In this episode, we're diving into three fascinating updates you can actually use to improve your daily life:

A Major Leap in Alzheimer's Screening: We discuss a new, highly accessible, and affordable blood test that is changing the game for early detection.

The Color of Sound: You've definitely heard of white noise, but we look at why pink noise might be the superior option for deeper, more restorative sleep. Or maybe it's not!

Beyond Antibiotics: We all know how antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, but new research shows that common medications (including popular diabetes and high blood pressure drugs) can also dramatically alter your gut health for better or worse.
