    Senator Mitch McConnell made his first public appearance in months, and his health journey has a lot to teach us. This week on Dr. Frita LIVE!, we're bringing you the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news, starting with his recovery from a fall, pneumonia, and what that combination often means for older adults.

    EP 148: Food Safety Updates | Dr. Heavenly's Mental Health Mission | Billy Joel | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    Four more food recalls just hit the headlines. This week on Dr. Frita LIVE!, we're bringing you the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news, starting with a weekly FDA recall roundup covering broccoli sprouts linked to a Salmonella outbreak, imported pork pulled over Listeria concerns, deli salads and cream cheese recalled for the same reason, and a frozen berry blend flagged for possible E. coli. In other news, we'll also be covering an influencer who died after a cosmetic filler procedure led to a fatal embolism, and what that teaches us about injectable treatment risks. Meanwhile, RHOBH star Brandi Glanville shares an update on a terrifying ordeal with something moving beneath the skin of her face. Our Myth vs Fact segment breaks down Billy Joel's brain shunt procedure and what it means to live with normal pressure hydrocephalus. We'll also cover this year's flu, COVID, and RSV vaccine guidance, since several medical groups stepped in with new recommendations. Then, we have to talk about Married to Medicine star Dr. Heavenly Kimes and how she turned a family crisis into a fierce dedication to mental health awareness. Finally, you may want to rethink your daily workout. A massive new study shows that a brisk walking pace matters far more for your lifespan than hitting that 10,000 steps. #HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #DrFritaLIVE! #CelebrityHealthNews Here are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness: ▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video. 🚨 Join the "Med Heads" Exclusive Members Only Community! 🩺 Click Here to Request a Comprehensive VIP Concierge Telehealth Consultation today! 🍏 FREE Healthy Habits Guide 📙 My Book Is Available Now!

    EP 147: Lionel Richie | Heart Health | Food Recalls & Safety | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    Lionel Richie’s hospital ICU heart scare, heart health myths, and this week’s latest food recalls and food safety alerts are all on the table as we break down the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news on Dr. Frita LIVE! We'll kick things off with our Weekly Recall Roundup. I’ll lay out what we know so far on multiple FDA recall alerts, from foods pulled for inspection issues, to expanded recalls across 16 states, to products tied to Salmonella and E. coli outbreak concerns, and the food recalls raised to the FDA’s most serious risk category. We’ll also share practical ways to check labels, confirm lot codes, and reduce risk at home. Then we'll discuss Lionel Richie, after fans noticed him needing a chair mid-performance and he later underwent cardiac testing in an ICU. With no public diagnosis shared, we’ll walk through what doctors typically check when someone is admitted for heart concerns. Let's also talk about warning signs we should never shrug off. We’re also talking TLC’s T-Boz after a sickle cell crisis landed her in the hospital. We’ll explain what a crisis looks like inside the body, what can trigger it, and how treatment has evolved. In our Myth vs Facts segment, RHONJ star Caroline Manzo’s “heart attack waiting to happen” warning reminds us that looking healthy is not the same as being low-risk. Next, let's shine a spotlight on real hope in cancer care: we'll have a candid conversation about a newly approved daily pancreatic cancer pill. Plus, with football season back, we’ll cover new research reporting at least 1 in 4 former NFL players in a studied group had CTE, what it is, why it cannot be diagnosed during life yet, and what families should know about repeated head impacts. And to close, we’re getting real about gym anxiety with Gabourey Sidibe and how to restart movement after years away from the gym with realistic, kind, sustainable steps. #HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #DrFritaLIVE! #CelebrityHealthNews Here are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness: ▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video. 🚨 Join the "Med Heads" Exclusive Members Only Community! 🩺 Click Here to Request a Comprehensive VIP Concierge Telehealth Consultation today! 🍏 FREE Healthy Habits Guide 📙 My Book Is Available Now!

    EP 146: Dolly Parton's Cause of Death | Food Safety Alerts | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    We're breaking down Dolly Parton's cause of death, the latest food safety alerts, and the biggest celebrity health news of the week on this episode of Dr. Frita LIVE! We start with heavy hearts, looking back at Dolly Parton's health journey after she passed away at 80 following a brief battle with cancer. We'll walk through the warning signs she had quietly mentioned in the months before, and why even beloved public figures often keep a serious diagnosis private for as long as they can. Next up, our Recall Alerts and Outbreak Watch segment has a lot to cover this week. We've got nearly 30,000 pounds of recalled beef, an alfalfa sprout outbreak, the Whole Foods guacamole recall now at the FDA's highest risk level, growing numbers on the Cyclospora lettuce outbreak, and an update on Pennsylvania's first measles deaths of the year. We're also talking about Kehlani's scary hospital trip after she woke up unable to swallow, and Gladys Knight's decision to step back from performing after seven decades. Her story is the perfect moment to talk about what healthy aging really looks like. We're closing the show with a Myth vs Fact segment inspired by a heartbreaking lightning strike story making the rounds online, separating fact from fiction on lightning and storm safety and sharing a few tips that could save a life.

    EP 145: Hayden Panettiere's Cause of Death: What We Know So Far | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    This week on Dr. Frita LIVE, we're breaking down the questions everyone is asking about Hayden Panettiere's cause of death, plus all the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news you need to know about right now. Hayden's passing at just 36 years old has left fans heartbroken, and while the official cause has not yet been confirmed, her story opens up a conversation we think is long overdue. We're talking honestly about postpartum depression, substance use disorder, anxiety, and the grief she carried publicly for years, and why treating one condition without addressing the others rarely works. We'll also look at what the research actually shows about child stardom and the toll it can take on mental and physical health well into adulthood. From there, we're shifting to Paris Jackson's recent conversation with Jay Shetty, where she opened up about a chronic loneliness she says she felt since childhood, even while surrounded by people who loved her. We want to explain what chronic loneliness really is, why it's different from ordinary loneliness, and why people who feel emotions intensely are more likely to reach for substances to cope. If you or someone you love is struggling, the SAMHSA helpline is free and confidential, available 24 hours a day at 1-800-662-4357, and you can also call or text 988 anytime. We're also covering a story out of Nashville that should concern anyone facing surgery soon. A woman went in for a routine knee replacement and woke up paralyzed from the chest down after a devastating medication mix-up. We want to give you real, usable advocacy tips, including what to ask your anesthesiologist beforehand, why bringing a trusted family member with you matters, and how you can request a final medication verification before any procedure begins. Then we're closing out with Myth vs Facts, where we tackle the recent scare involving Earth, Wind & Fire drummer John Paris, who was placed in a medically induced coma following a serious cardiac event. We'll explain what an induced coma actually does for the brain and heart during a crisis, clear up the difference between a heart attack and sudden cardiac arrest, and share five practical, potentially life-saving tips for recognizing and responding to a cardiac emergency, including the subtle symptoms so many people overlook. Tune in LIVE so you can ask questions, share your thoughts, and join us for a conversation that goes far beyond the headlines.

    EP 144: Food Safety Alert, Trump MMR Vaccine Debate, Fatal Asthma Attack | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    Your food may already be making someone in your household sick and this week we are giving you everything you need to check your kitchen tonight before anyone eats another bite. The jalapeño recall is no longer just a Chipotle story. Taylor Farms pulled salsas, guacamole, dips, wraps, and prepared salads from Walmart, Kroger, Target, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods across 26 states. Pastrami and corned beef are also being recalled over Listeria and nearly 30,000 pounds of raw beef came off shelves this week too. We are breaking down what these bacteria do to the body and who needs to be most careful right now. President Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting the childhood vaccine schedule and every parent in this chat deserves a straight answer about what that actually means for their kids. Kelly Ripa missed two weeks of work because she brushes her teeth too hard and her gum graft surgery is a lesson most of us need. Brad Pitt opened up about relapse and his mental health and that conversation is worth having with a physician in the room. And Nickelodeon star Christy Knowings passed away at 46 from an asthma attack that caused brain damage, which is a reminder that asthma is never something to take lightly. These are the breaking news and health headlines everyone is talking about, and we’re covering it all. #HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #DrFritaLIVE! #CelebrityHealthNews Here are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness: ▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video. 🚨 Join the "Med Heads" Exclusive Members Only Community! 🩺 Click Here to Request a Comprehensive VIP Concierge Telehealth Consultation today! 🍏 FREE Healthy Habits Guide 📙 My Book Is Available Now!

    EP 143: Perez Hilton Live Stream Breakdown | Heart Attack Blessings? Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    Perez Hilton is communicating and his family says they have hope, and this week on Dr. Frita LIVE!, we are holding space for that while also having the conversation his public moment made impossible to ignore: what a mental health crisis actually looks like, why people who appear completely fine can be privately breaking down, and what to do when you are watching someone you love reach their limit. Meanwhile, Antonio Banderas called his 2017 heart attack the best thing that ever happened to him, and the medical story behind that statement is worth your full attention. His girlfriend gave him aspirin before the ambulance arrived and he credits that decision with saving his life. We are covering the heart attack myths that could cost someone everything, including what aspirin actually does during a cardiac event and why women's heart attacks still get missed in emergency rooms. A Georgia mother named Cassandra Barksdale lost her uterus, ovaries, and fertility at 43 because a lab mixed up her biopsy with another patient's sample. Her story is a lesson every woman needs to hear about second opinions and patient rights. Memphis news anchor Dominique Dillon fell asleep on live TV after being up all night with her teething baby and her viral moment exposed something real about what exhausted mothers are carrying. Plus, another Salmonella outbreak is now linked to jalapeños at Chipotle and Qdoba across 27 states. This is the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news and we are not holding back. #HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #DrFritaLIVE! #CelebrityHealthNews Here are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness: ▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video. 🚨 Join the "Med Heads" Exclusive Members Only Community! 🩺 Click Here to Request a Comprehensive VIP Concierge Telehealth Consultation today! 🍏 FREE Healthy Habits Guide 📙 My Book Is Available Now!

    EP 142: Nolan Wells Update: Alcohol and Open Water Dangers | Dr. Frita Live Medical & Celebrity Health News

    This week on Dr. Frita LIVE, the Nolan Wells update opens a water safety conversation that is long overdue, and we are using this heartbreaking story not to speculate but to educate, because if this conversation saves even one life this summer, then something meaningful came from something tragic. Alcohol impairs judgment, coordination, and awareness long before most people feel its full effects, and on open water, with heat, sun, dehydration, and motion all amplifying those effects, the margin for error gets dangerously thin. We are talking about what every group heading to the beach, lake, river, or boat needs to understand before they go, and why being a good friend sometimes means being the one who stays sober. The cyclospora skinny trend is also on the table this week, because people are intentionally eating contaminated produce to lose weight through severe diarrhea, and that conversation cannot wait. Then there is the food recall wave hitting kitchens right now. Nearly 19 million eggs recalled for Salmonella. Frozen blueberries linked to an E. coli outbreak. Uninspected bacon. Garlic powder with bacterial contamination. We are walking through every single one with the specific product details viewers need to check today. This is the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news and we are bringing all of it. #HealthHappyLifePodcast #DrFrita #DrFritaLIVE! #CelebrityHealthNews Here are a few helpful resources to help on your journey to wellness: ▶️ Subscribe so you will never miss a YouTube video. 🚨 Join the "Med Heads" Exclusive Members Only Community! 🩺 Click Here to Request a Comprehensive VIP Concierge Telehealth Consultation today! 🍏 FREE Healthy Habits Guide 📙 My Book Is Available Now!
