🚨 DEA Emergency Action on Dangerous Drugs 🚨

Drug dealers are mixing fentanyl with new synthetic opioids called nitazenes. These substances can be even stronger than fentanyl and are linked to overdose deaths across the country.

To protect the public, the DEA has now placed two nitazenes into Schedule I—the category for drugs with no accepted medical use and the highest risk for abuse.

⚠️ What this means for you:

These drugs are illegal.

They carry a high risk of overdose—often without people even realizing they’ve taken them.

Awareness and treatment save lives.

💙 If you or someone you love is struggling, know that safe, effective medications and compassionate care are available. Recovery is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Good news for your health! 🥦🏃‍♀️

A new study shows that eating a healthy diet and staying active can dramatically lower the risk of liver damage from alcohol—even for heavy or binge drinkers.

✔️ Exercise cut liver-related deaths by up to 69%
✔️ A nutrient-rich diet cut risk by up to 86%
✔️ Women, though at higher risk, benefit even more

Bottom line: every walk, every colorful plate, every small choice adds up to big protection. 💪

🤔 What if the person you think is “holding it all together” is actually falling apart?

In my work as a Nurse Practitioner in addiction and mental health, I see it all the time.
It’s not always the person who looks tired, distracted, or overwhelmed who’s struggling most.
Sometimes it’s the high achiever, the “strong one,” the person everyone counts on — quietly drowning inside.

Addiction and mental health struggles don’t always look like what we expect.
And waiting until someone “hits bottom” is waiting too long.

At Dawn Gadon Wellness, I offer stigma-free, private care — no insurance oversight, no judgment — just real help and a path forward.

If you’re worried about someone, or if you’re the one who’s been saying “I’m fine” when you’re not…

🚨 WARNING: 7-OH Can Ruin Your Life 🚨

You might see it in stores or online labeled as “natural” or “herbal.”
But here’s the truth: 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a potent opioid—up to 13x stronger than morphine.

Many people have no idea what they’re taking until it’s too late.

⚠️ What you need to know:

Sold in capsules, powders, or drinks — often flavored and appealing

Highly addictive — dependence can start in just weeks

Withdrawal is brutal: sweats, chills, vomiting, severe anxiety

Can damage your health, relationships, job, and future

💬 If someone you love is using 7-OH or kratom products and you’re concerned, please reach out for help. There’s a safe way off, and recovery is possible.

🚨 New CDC Report: Over 55% of the average American's calories come from ultra-processed foods—even higher for kids and teens.

That’s pizza, packaged snacks, fast food, and sugary drinks. These foods are linked to serious health risks, even when labels look “healthy.”

The good news? Awareness is rising and intake is slowly dropping. 💪

Every small swap matters—for your energy, your family, your focus, and your future.
