  A New Era of Health: MAHA Strategy Ushers in a National Transformation

The newly announced Make America Healthy Again strategy signals a shift in national priorities. Framed as a roadmap for prevention, it touches food systems, chemical safety, medical research, and children’s health. The initiative has sparked debate—welcomed as long overdue reform by some, questioned by others who see gaps in its approach. What’s clear is that both policymakers and advocates are watching closely as this new chapter in health policy begins.

  What Builds You—and What Quietly Breaks You Down: The Collagen Connection 

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body, shaping everything from skin elasticity to bone strength. Yet modern life quietly chips away at it. Discover what supports collagen production—slow-cooked broths, nutrient-rich foods, and targeted supplementation—and what accelerates its loss, from sugar to chronic stress.

During the first half of September 2025, AVFCA brought awareness to specific observance days by sharing our original stories that matched these themes:

National Probiotics Month: “Yogurt: Friend Or Foe? A Beginner’s Reference”

If your bowl of yogurt is high-quality—whole, organic, and grass-fed/pasture-raised, there’s a high probability each spoonful will support the healthy bacteria in your body and gut microbiome. Research shows positive outcomes for lowering blood pressure, reducing oxidative stress, and preventing insulin resistance. So next time you go shopping for yogurt, make the effort to put on your best investigative glasses.  http://tinyurl.com/yogurt-1 

National Sleep Awareness Week: "Sleep Restoration and Deprivation: Investigating Health Impacts in Both Cases”

Getting optimal sleep is one of the most beneficial things you can do to attain and maintain superior health. That said, it may not always feel in your control to do so. You’d love to sleep deep and feel restored in the morning, but how can you influence that outcome? The mechanisms affecting sound sleep, and on the other end, sleep deprivation, are multilayered. Thankfully, there are a variety of lifestyle practices you can implement to improve your relationship to sleep.  http://tinyurl.com/01-sleep 

Our team also reads hundreds of articles each week, and those of interest are shared on our social media platforms.  However, once or twice a week, our team reads an article that is profound or shares a perspective that is new or from an expert that AVFCA feels should be highlighted.  These articles are shared on our Substack.
