A “ticking time bomb.” That’s what doctors called the tangle of blood vessels buried in Hayley’s brain.

Her father, Andres, called hospitals across the country in search of help. Only specialists at UCSF’s Pediatric Brain Center were willing to take on the high-risk surgery.

Supported by NIH-funded research, the UCSF team gave Hayley her life back — and she’s returned to climbing and gymnastics. https://tiny.ucsf.edu/TFzVWV

As patients came into her San Francisco clinic hungry, UCSF’s Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, knew prescribing another drug wasn’t the right fix for diet related conditions. Vouchers 4 Veggies (V4V) was created to “prescribe” the medicine her patients needed. Working together with partners such as the City’s Human Services Agency and grocers across the city like the Mission’s Mi Tierra Market, V4V increases access to fresh produce, supports local businesses, and advances health – all at the same time.

With over a decade of success, and 50+ partner locations where folks can shop with their vouchers in nearly every corner of the city, Vouchers 4 Veggies works by distributing the vouchers via partner clinics and local non-profits – paring local health with local food.

As days get shorter, your diet could be confounding your body’s clock. UCSF scientists found that saturated fat tells your body it’s summer and eating too much of it in winter tells your body to conserve fat. https://tiny.ucsf.edu/SyEGGA

How do our bodies adapt to the changing length of days as we go from winter to summer and back? UCSF researchers found that unsaturated fat plays an important role in regulating circadian cycles, and that dietary changes may improve sleep and energy levels, and prevent chronic disease.
