🌟 Join David Snow on Dr. Health Radio for a powerful double-feature episode on hidden health risks and inspiring resilience. First, researcher Norbert Heuser reveals the surprising dangers of tattoos — from ink migrating to your lymph nodes (up to 30%), compromised immune systems, heavy metals, inflammation, and a 20% higher risk of lymphoma. He also discusses history, contaminated needles, hepatitis concerns, and why tattoo removal can make things worse.
In the second half, author Mary Keating shares her incredible journey from a tragic accident at 15 that left her paraplegic to earning a Yale law degree, working at IBM, and becoming a scuba diver. She discusses breaking stereotypes about disabilities, turning challenges into strengths, the power of accessibility technology, and gaining inspiration from adversity.
Plus: National Ice Cream Day facts, coffee and dementia risks, preventable dementia through muscle strength, travel health tips, and more.
