For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Loneliness is now considered as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, with studies linking social isolation to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and even early death. We explore why strong relationships are one of the most powerful predictors of long-term health—and how small, meaningful connections can make a difference. We also dive into the risks of ultra-processed foods, from their impact on toddlers’ development to their surprising link to eyesight issues. With 61% of a UK toddler’s diet now coming from UPFs, experts are raising the alarm about potential speech delays and oral development concerns. Plus, new research suggests ultra-processed foods may damage retinal blood vessels, increasing the risk of vision problems like age-related macular degeneration. In this week’s wellness trend, we unpack the viral tongue scraping craze—does it actually improve bad breath and oral health, or is it just another wellness fad? And in our listener question, we break down why sugar cravings happen and how to manage them without feeling deprived.

As the conversation around health shifts back to extreme weight loss, we examine the impact of Ozempic-fueled diet culture and the resurgence of toxic beauty standards. Protein obsession isn’t slowing down—from powders to high-protein snacks, demand is booming. But do we really need more? We break down the science, the hidden risks in protein powders, and whether meat snacks are a gym-goer’s dream or just another processed food trap. Stress isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body. Hair loss, gut issues, and unexplained breakouts could all be signs of silent stress. We reveal seven warning signals of chronic stress and the small, science-backed ways to break the cycle before it takes a toll.
