Yost Wellness Center Medical Belief Exposed! Cholesterol is it as dangerous as we thought? For more than ten years I have been telling patients about the myth of cholesterol and its link to heart disease. When I first started telling patients about this myth I could tell there was some disbelief and doubt in what I was telling them. Finally, we are seeing more and more of the medical community coming out and admitting to one of the biggest health care mistakes ever made.  I've seen doctors coming out on national television telling the world they were mislead by biased research and manipulative marketing schemes. Unfortunately this misinformation has lead people to do the wrong things to prevent heart disease, strokes and heart attacks.    How many millions of people across the globe have....and will be....victims of this myth? It's time to start asking more questions about other commonly accepted health care beliefs and medical treatments of conditions like diabetes, canc...

 Yost Wellness Center Are GMOs Making You Sick, Crazy, Depressed, and Feeling Overweight? Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup™, the herbicide used on genetically engineered (GE) crops to withstand glyphosate. Glyphosate residues have been detected in especially high levels in soy and corn plants. This means that the GE plants are absorbing the herbicide and you cannot simply wash it off.   What does this mean to you and your family? Research is showing a correlation to an increase in learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, mental illness (depression, bipolar disorder, etc.), and hormonal imbalance. Think about how many people suffer from these common conditions but are being told they need medications to be helped or even worse they are being told they can’t be helped. The conversation of how toxins and chemicals could be the cause of these problems is being completely left out.   Note:  The above comes directly from their website.  Click here to re...

Social Media Before Bedtime Wreaks Havoc on Our Sleep: Why Screens Alone Aren't the Main Culprit “Avoid screens before bed” is one of the most common pieces of sleep advice. But  what if the real problem isn’t screen time  — it’s the way we use social media at night? ​ Sleep deprivation is  one of the most widespread yet overlooked public health issues , especially among young adults and adolescents. Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired — it’s linked to worsened mental health, emotion regulation, memory, academic performance, and even increased risk for chronic illness and early mortality. ​ At the same time, social media is nearly universal among young adults, with 84% using at least one platform daily. While research has long focused on screen time as the culprit for poor sleep, growing evidence suggests that how often people check social media — and  how emotionally engaged they are  — matters even more than how long they spend online.​ As a social psych...

  Don't Trash Your Old Phone, Help the Environment Instead Smartphones have been around long enough that you're probably holding on to more than one of them. What do we do when it's time to replace our old ones? Whatever you do, don't put it in the trash. Rotting in a landfill is one of the worst fates to befall a phone, and you would also miss out on all the ways your phone can still be of service. Here's what to do instead.

The Power of Forgiveness: Why a Psychologist Advises Letting Go (and a Free Workbook to Get Started) Your husband forgot your birthday. A semitruck cut you off in rush hour traffic. Your dog went to go cuddle with someone else as soon as you started petting him. No matter what offense has been committed against you (and no matter how serious it is), it’s tempting to hold onto a grudge. It even feels  good  — at first. Satisfying as it may be to silently shoot daggers at those who’ve wronged you, you may want to rethink that reaction (and cut your dog some slack — he doesn’t know what’s going on). We’re not basing this suggestion solely on instinct. Choosing forgiveness doesn’t just  sound  like the right thing to do, it actually invites a plethora of science-backed health benefits: selfish advantages, if you will.  Note:  The above comes directly from their website.  Click here to read more.

  A Silent Connection Hearing Loss, Dementia, and Depression Hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline, dementia, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Know how to protect your brain. “What?” “Sorry, I didn’t catch that.” “Can you repeat that please?”   Do you find yourself repeating these phrases throughout the day because you can’t make out what people are saying? Hearing loss can be very frustrating for you and the people around you. But that’s only part of the problem. Hearing issues can also have significant emotional and mental health consequences, including anxiety and depression. Even more concerning is the fact that a growing body of research shows that hearing loss comes with an increased risk of  cognitive decline and dementia . Hearing loss can be very frustrating, and it can also have significant mental health consequences, including depression, anxiety, anger, and loneliness. Even more concerning, it comes with an increased risk of dementia...

  Chewing Gum Might Be Dosing You With Microplastics Here’s a stat that might stay with you longer than that last piece of minty chew: one piece of gum can release up to 3,000 microplastic particles—most of them in the first eight minutes. That insight comes from a pilot study presented at the  American Chemical Society  in March 2025. Researchers revealed that commercial gum doesn’t just freshen your breath. It may be quietly dosing your mouth with microscopic plastic particles. The Ingredients You’re Not Told About Most of us chew gum without thinking twice. But most commercial gum bases are made from synthetic plastic—the same types of polymers used in plastic bottles and food wrappers. These include polyolefins, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrenes, and polyacrylamides. Even gums labeled “natural” released comparable levels of microplastics when tested. The bigger issue? “Gum base” is an unregulated term. Manufacturers aren’t required to disclose exactly wha...
