Iron for long-COVID, 'holy grail' flu shots, and prolonged grief disorder Health Report - Full program podcast

Researchers have found a possible link between iron and long-COVID

Each year the flu vaccine is reformulated to target the current strains of influenza A and B that are circulating globally — but what if it didn't need to be?

A new review of Health at Every Size shows that, at least when it comes to measures like cholesterol and blood pressure, it's not enough on its own.

One of the most common interventions for IBS is an elimination diet to try to identify a trigger. But that diet might carry its own risk – of triggering disordered eating – a new study warns.

While grief effects everyone differently, a small group of people can find themselves 'stuck' in intense grief – it's not depression, it's prolonged grief disorder, and it can be treated.

The Health Report mailbag features "stoolgazing" and when to collect your own samples… or not.
