Listen to Your Earwax |
Earwax: sticky, unpleasant, and a potentially powerful health indicator. Researchers are discovering that earwax, or cerumen, holds long-term clues about conditions like cancer, heart disease, and metabolic diseases including diabetes. Because it builds up slowly, earwax can reflect changes in the body’s metabolism over time. And to tune in to what earwax can tell
us, scientists are even developing simple tests that could one day use earwax to diagnose diseases like cancer early (with a fun name: cerumenogram).

Gen Z’s Surprising Microdosing Trend |
When hearing the term “microdosing,” you probably think of psychedelics. But Gen Z has a very different drug in mind: Ozempic. A recent Tebra survey found a staggering 89% of Gen Z GLP-1 users have microdosed Ozempic, compared with just 36% of overall users. Avoiding side effects and saving money were the most common reasons for microdosing Ozempic, which resulted in similar weight loss satisfaction and more confidence in maintaining the loss.

The Trippy Way Games Bleed Into Reality |
Have you ever experienced the world around you feeling like it’s straight out of a video game? There’s a name for this—Game Transfer Phenomenon, when game-related experiences spill over into real life. Likened to ear-worms, GTP keeps a game rattling in your brain, causing, for instance, an urge to “collect” real-world items and having your hands involuntarily
moving as if handing a game controller. Learn more about the trippy experiences GTP can induce, and the surprising amount of theories and research on the topic.

Budgeting Tips Every Nurse Should Know to Save More and Spend Smarter |
Budgeting doesn’t have to be a headache! If you're tired of guesswork, try the zero-based budgeting method. It’s like giving every dollar a job—so your income minus expenses always equals zero (but in a good way!). This way, every cent you make works towards your financial goals, and you can see exactly where your money’s going.
No spreadsheets required—just a solid plan and consistent habits. It’s a satisfying, stress-free way to save without feeling restricted.
Here are some resources to make budgeting a breeze:
