Sudden cardiac arrest kills about 90% of people who experience it outside a hospital. G'bari Gilliam, a 32-year-old professional dancer, is one of the survivors.

When his heart stopped during a rehearsal, a fellow dancer began CPR while others searched for an AED, and paramedics rushed him to Cedars-Sinai's Emergency Department, where his care team placed him on advanced life support after a second cardiac arrest. Twelve days later, he received a donor heart.

Genetic testing later revealed G'bari had an inherited heart condition that often shows no symptoms, especially in athletes used to pushing through exhaustion. He's now in physical therapy, preparing to return to the stage.

Protein is one of the most misunderstood nutrients out there. It's not just for athletes, and needs vary based on s*x, pregnancy and overall health, not a one-size-fits-all number.

How you get your protein matters too. Leaner sources like poultry, fish, beans and low-fat dairy support heart health, while processed meats and supplements can sometimes cause digestive discomfort.

Save this post for a closer look at what's fact, what's myth and how to think about your own protein needs.

Preparing to start a family begins with understanding your health and planning ahead. Scheduling a preconception visit with your OB-GYN, discussing prenatal vitamins, supporting your physical and mental well-being and knowing what to expect after stopping birth control are all important steps before pregnancy.

If you have questions about fertility or when to seek additional support, your healthcare provider can help you understand your options and develop a plan that is right for you.

Coffee and matcha both deliver caffeine, but they affect digestion differently. Coffee is more acidic and can stimulate stomach acid, sometimes leading to indigestion in sensitive people, while matcha tends to feel gentler since it's made from ground, whole tea leaves rather than a brewed extract.

Neither drink is objectively better; it comes down to individual sensitivity and tolerance.

Which one do you prefer? Let us know in the comments.

As the new school year begins, teen sleep deserves more attention than it usually gets. About 80% of teens are sleep-deficient, and the effects go well beyond feeling tired, impacting mood, focus and even long-term mental health.

Puberty naturally shifts a teen's internal clock later, making early school mornings especially difficult, but consistent routines and healthy sleep habits can still make a meaningful difference.

As student athletes gear up for a new season, sports physicals remain a key part of preventive care, not just a formality required for participation.

When performed by a child's own pediatrician, a sports physical can go beyond a basic clearance check, screening for heart conditions, monitoring growth-related injury risks and opening the door to conversations about nutrition, bone health and mental well-being.
