Hulk Hogan of WWE fame faced multiple health issues leading up to his death

WWE superstar Hulk Hogan, 71, died on Thursday after a reported cardiac arrest.
Although there has been no confirmation of what led to the fatal event, the famed wrestler had allegedly been facing multiple health issues in the months and years before his death.
In an appearance on Jake Paul’s «IMPAULSIVE» podcast in Sept. 2024, Hogan admitted that he’d had 25 surgeries in the last 10 years.

This included 10 back surgeries, procedures on both shoulders, and knee and hip replacements on both sides.
Hogan called out the difference between today’s fighting rings and the dangerous equipment of the 1970s, which he described as a 22-foot ring with «lumps» and «boards sticking up.»
«It was horrible,» he said. «The equipment and jumping up and dropping the damn leg for 40 years, when I had the largest arms in the world — I should’ve been using ‘The Sleeper.’»
He added, «I probably should’ve quit earlier, but I just loved doing it — and the money was just..

The Best and Worst Things to Say to Someone Just Diagnosed With Cancer 

When Katie Thurston was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer earlier this year, at age 34, people kept telling her they knew someone with the same diagnosis. Solidarity, you might think. A helpful way to relate. Not exactly: Their friend or family member had died.

This scenario is “pretty recurring,” says Thurston, who starred on season 17 of The Bachelorette, and while people have good intentions—they want you to know they have experience with what you’re going through—the remark doesn’t land well. “We understand that death is a possibility in this diagnosis,” she says. “I don’t need to hear that.”

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Thurston has been on the receiving end of a lot of outreach and opinions since she shared her breast cancer diagnosis—from strangers online, as well as people she knows in real life. While death-related stories are particularly painful, there are plenty of other comments that fall short of helpful.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Could Lead to 1,000 More Overdose Deaths A Year, Researchers Warn

The sweeping tax and spending package that President Donald Trump signed into law earlier this month could cause thousands of people to lose access to treatment for opioid use disorder, leading to roughly 1,000 additional overdose deaths each year, researchers estimate.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Fatal overdoses have been on the decline since they reached a record high in 2022. Drug policy and health experts have widely credited the drop to public health measures, such as investing in treatments, expanding therapies, and decreasing stigma.

But now, they fear that Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will undo that progress.

The day before the bill passed the House, a group of researchers sent a memo to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, estimating that the package would cause about 156,000 people to lose access to treatment for opioid use disorder. The next day, the bill cleared the House, and the day after, Trump signed it into law.

“I’m angry,” says ..

Death confirmed from rare and deadly ‘brain-eating amoeba’ in southern lake

A pediatric death from a «brain-eating amoeba» has been reported in South Carolina, according to health officials.
Prisma Health Richland Hospital in Columbia publicly confirmed the death on July 22, according to a statement from the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) sent to Fox News Digital.
The patient died after exposure to Naegleria fowleri, a rare amoeba that causes a life-threatening brain infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).
FOUR PEOPLE DEAD IN FLORIDA FROM FLESH-EATING BACTERIA FOUND IN COASTAL WATERS
«The July 2025 exposure to the organism Naegleria fowleri likely occurred at Lake Murray, but we cannot be completely certain, as this organism occurs naturally and is present in many warm water lakes, rivers and streams,» the South Carolina DPH told Dox News Digital.
«Water activities like swimming or diving in warm freshwater areas, such as lakes and rivers, may increase the risk of exposure and infection.»

Three-person IVF technique shown to prevent inherited genetic diseases

An unconventional approach to reproduction is reportedly reducing the risk of metabolic disease.
Three-person in vitro fertilization (IVF), a new concept developed by scientists in New Castle, U.K., has resulted in the births of eight healthy children.
In the study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers found that pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are a «common cause» of severe — and often fatal — inherited metabolic disease.
SPERM DONOR'S GENETIC MUTATION LINKED TO CANCER IN 10 CONCEIVED CHILDREN
This DNA in the mother's mitochondria can cause «harmful mutations» in children, which can lead to diseases that affect tissues in the heart, brain and muscles, according to the journal Nature.
At the Newcastle Fertility Centre, 22 women with pathogenic mtDNA variants underwent a «pronuclear transfer,» in which they received a mitochondrial donation.
This involved the transfer of the nucleus of a fertilized egg with «faulty mitochondria» in..

What Experts Think About the Japanese Walking Trend

“Japanese walking” isn’t new, but the workout recently gained legs on TikTok: People credit it with making their walking routines more exciting and leading to an array of benefits, from weight loss to better heart health.

While its name is derived from research conducted in Japan, this style of workout—known as interval walking—is popular around the world, and for good reason. It involves walking at a high intensity level for three minutes, followed by three minutes at a lower intensity, on repeat for at least 30 minutes, four times a week.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

“We know that exercise matters, and we know that intensity matters,” says Laura Richardson, an exercise physiologist and clinical associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Michigan. “I think it’s caught on because it’s so sustainable—it’s short, it’s doable, you don’t have to be in a gym, and there are lots of benefits to walking.”

We asked experts to break down exactly why Japanese walking is so ef..

Ozzy Osbourne’s rare form of Parkinson’s sparks questions about lifestyle factors

Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died on Tuesday at 76 after battling a rare form of Parkinson’s disease.
The Black Sabbath lead singer had been open about his condition for the last several years, first discussing it during an appearance on ABC’s «Good Morning America» in 2019.
He and wife Sharon Osbourne revealed the rock star’s diagnosis of PRKN-2, a genetic condition typically defined as early-onset Parkinson’s disease that evolves more slowly.
OZZY OSBOURNE DEAD AT 76
«I'm no good with secrets,» the singer said. «I cannot walk around with it anymore, 'cause it's like, I'm running out of excuses, you know?»
Osbourne confirmed with GMA that he had a «bad fall» that led to neck surgery and interference with his nerves.
The rocker took some time off from performing to handle his health complications, but just weeks before his death, he took to the stage one last time for Black Sabbath's «Back to the Beginning» performance on July 5 in Birmingham, England.

COVID-19 Is Rising Again. Here’s What to Know

As much as we want to put it behind us, COVID-19 isn’t going away. Cases are currently rising across the country in a summer surge.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that cases of COVID-19 are increasing in nine states and likely growing in another 16. The trends are estimates, as the CDC no longer conducts rigorous surveillance of cases based on results from lab tests. Fewer people are also getting tested. But the data do provide a hint of how the disease is changing over time, and new monitoring systems that track viruses in wastewater confirm the rise.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

The CDC says that the overall level of respiratory diseases in the U.S.— COVID-19, flu, and RSV—remains “very low,” but that emergency room visits for COVID-19 are on the rise, accounting for 0.5% of emergency room visits in the country as of mid July, compared to 0.3% of cases at the beginning of the summer. While that may seem like a small increase, emergency room v..

Do you really need three meals a day? Experts debate the traditional rule

Breakfast, lunch and dinner have been a staple regimen for diet and nutrition — but is it necessary for overall health?
Statistics show that most Americans (64%) consume three meals daily and 28% consume two meals — but some may struggle to hit three meals a day, while others prefer smaller, more frequent meals.
Serena Poon, a certified nutritionist and longevity wellness advisor based in Los Angeles, said she considers the concept of three meals a «more cultural convention» than a «biological necessity.»
MORNING WORKOUTS CAN BOOST WEIGHT LOSS IF ONE KEY HABIT IS FOLLOWED, EXPERTS SAY
«There’s no magic in ‘three meals a day,’» she told Fox News Digital. «What matters is the quality of your food, the timing of your meals, and how well both align with your unique biology and lifestyle.»
«A flexible routine, such as two nourishing meals and a snack, or three well-balanced meals eaten within a 10- to 12-hour window, has strong scientific backing and fits comfortably into most modern schedu..

Two cancer drugs show promise in reversing Alzheimer’s devastating effects

Two cancer drugs could potentially slow or even reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests.
Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) explored how the common dementia changes gene expression (which genes are turned on or off) in certain brain cells, according to a press release from the university.
Next, they looked at which existing FDA-approved drugs might counteract, or reverse, those changes.
ALZHEIMER'S RISK COULD RISE WITH SPECIFIC SLEEP PATTERN, EXPERTS WARN
In analyzing millions of electronic medical records of adults over 65, the researchers identified two medications that appeared to reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer’s in the patients who took them.
The medications — letrozone and irinotecan — are both approved to treat cancer. Letrozole is a breast cancer medication and irinotecan treats colon and lung cancer.
When the scientists tested a combination of both medications in mice, they noted a reversal of the gene expression c..
