The Sunshine Protection Act is back in front of Congress. The President said this week he'll work hard to pass it.

The headline says we'd stop changing our clocks. What it doesn't say: which clock we'd keep.

Sleep medicine, cardiology, and circadian research have all lined up behind permanent standard time, the version where mornings keep their light. Stanford modeling in 2025 estimated permanent standard time could prevent roughly 300,000 stroke cases per year. Permanent daylight saving would prevent about 220,000.

Under permanent daylight saving time in Mississippi, our December sunrise in Jackson wouldn't break until nearly 8 a.m. Still, many (including President Trump) still support having "more sunlight" later in the day.

Which do you prefer? Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

🔥 Fascinating link between dental health and your labs:

Your inflammation markers keep creeping up. You’re working on eating well, sleeping enough, moving your body. So why won’t they settle?

Here’s something almost nobody checks for: an old tooth.

A quiet infection can sit at the root tip of a tooth that had a root canal or crown years ago. It usually doesn’t hurt, and it won’t show up on the routine X-ray at your cleaning. So it just sits there, keeping your immune system slightly switched on. That low, steady inflammation can quietly drive up markers like hs-CRP, and over time it can spill into other systems too, including how well your body handles blood sugar.

Folks with these lesions tend to run higher inflammation markers, and some studies show poorer blood sugar control alongside it. The clearest insulin data still comes from lab and animal research. And a few studies show those markers settle back down after the tooth gets treated.

If your markers are up and no one can explain why, two easy moves:

Ask for hs-CRP and fasting insulin on your next blood draw.
Ask your dentist for a periapical X-ray on any tooth with an old root canal or crown.

We’ve seen this in a few of our own patients. Stubborn inflammation that wouldn’t settle, until a periapical film found an infection no one was looking for. We’ve watched A1Cs come down too. Could this be you?

PCOS just got a new name.

The international endocrine consortium published in The Lancet what 30 years of research has been pointing at: the condition isn't driven by ovarian cysts. It's driven by multiple hormone systems interacting at once.

It's now PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

Same diagnosis. Bigger picture. If you have PCOS, you have PMOS and the new name finally accounts for the millions of women who never had visible cysts and were told the framing didn't quite fit.

Five systems carry the load: hormones, metabolism, reproduction, skin, mental health. A proper PMOS visit checks all five.

Mississippi has the 3rd highest opioid prescription rate in the country. And nearly 1 in 5 American adults takes five or more medications at once.

Sometimes medication is necessary. We are thankful for modern medicine, prescribing responsibly, and the ability of these meds to help if needed.

That being said, many prescriptions can come with a quiet cost that you may not know about: depleted nutrients, stressed organs, side effects that often get blamed on aging or stress when the real culprit might be in your medicine cabinet.

Here’s what you need to know about some of the most commonly prescribed medications:

→ GLP-1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) accelerate muscle loss without enough protein and resistance training.

→ SSRIs commonly deplete magnesium and B vitamins — the very nutrients your brain needs to make neurotransmitters.

→ Blood pressure meds drain potassium, magnesium, and CoQ10. Most standard labs miss it.

→ PPIs block absorption of B12, magnesium, calcium, and iron. Long-term use is linked to bone density loss.

→ Birth control pills deplete B6, B12, folate, magnesium, and zinc. Fatigue and low mood often trace back here.

If you or a loved one are taking any of these, it’s important to know what your body may need while you’re on it.

That’s what whole-body care actually looks like to us at Julep Health. We look at your health from all angles and help with what best fits you and your goals.

Lifestyle interventions, medications when necessary — we do it all. Because to us, that’s just good healthcare. 👏
