AcademyHealth and Humana Foundation Work Together to Improve Research Communication in Order to Put Knowledge into Practice and Have a Real Impact

Knowledge and evidence can only be used to inform policy and practice if they are communicated and disseminated effectively, and this is especially true in today’s polarized environment, where misinformation is rampant and mistrust in scientists and science is growing. In addition, research must directly involve policymakers, decision makers, and the general public in order to have a real-world impact on public health and health care policy and practice. In 2026, AcademyHealth and the Humana Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Humana Inc., will work together to run a capacity building…

When you’re trying to lose weight, the internet can be confusing. One website says bananas make you fat, another says it burns belly fat. Truth is: no single food causes weight gain or weight loss.

But some foods do support weight loss because they keep you fuller for longer, maintain muscle, and reduce overeating. Is poha good for weight loss? Yes, in moderation.

Resolutions for lasting weight loss that actually work

Why Weight-Loss Plans Don’t Work The majority of weight-loss resolutions made for the new year fail because they are based on unsustainable principles rather than severe restrictions. When you drastically cut calories or eliminate entire food groups, your body responds by slowing metabolism and increasing levels of hunger hormones such as ghrelin. This biological response makes long-term weight management nearly impossible.

Successful people prioritize developing healthy lifestyle habits that…

The Ongoing Journey of Healthy Weight Loss

There are numerous reasons why research holds significant value for us. For instance, research can lead to the development of a new therapy (such as Alexander Fleming’s discovery of penicillin), innovative concepts (like Einstein’s relativity theory), or alternative approaches (e.g., Dr. Doudna’s CRISPR gene-editing technique). The introduction of new ideas is a central aspect that underscores the importance of research. However, there are occasions when research matters not because it presents innovations, but because it reinforces older concepts that we have been hesitant to acknowledge. A recent study regarding weight gain following the cessation of tirzepatide (Zepbound) exemplifies this situation. Zepbound is an effective GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) medication that assists numerous individuals in achieving significant weight reduction along with improvements in metabolic conditions (such as diabetes, fatty liver disease, and sleep apnea). In the Phase 3 clinical trial involving Zepbound, patients lost an average of over 50 pounds during a year of treatment. This degree of weight loss has yet to be matched by any non-surgical method. However, this new study posed a different inquiry:…
