  Beyond the Gym: Creatine and the Biology of Brain Energy, Resilience and Neurodevelopment

Creatine is often associated with workouts, but its most important work happens elsewhere. Creatine supports brain energy, stress tolerance and neurological stability, and its role may be especially important during times of high demand, aging and development. A familiar supplement, seen through a different lens.

  SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome: When Loss Becomes Prosecution

For years, you’ve been told SIDS is a mystery. But when you look closely at the data, a much clearer picture emerges.

It’s a powerful reframing of an issue every parent and health professional should understand.

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

Winter Safety Awareness Month: "Are Your Undergarments Making You Sick?: An Expose’ of What Transpires on Bare Skin”

Organic cotton, free from herbicides and nasty pesticides may be the healthiest fabric made for underwear, bras, shapewear, and swimsuits. Conversely, allowing synthetic materials to touch your bare skin, and most sensitive areas of your body, can lead to health complications down the road. http://tinyurl.com/undergarments1 

National Human Rights Month: “What Skipping MMR Vaccination Means for the U.S. and Your Family”

Like any pharmaceutical, vaccines come with potential health risks and side effects. Examining the MMR vaccine and its role in immunity is essential before making a decision. This article explores the consequences should vaccination rates significantly decline, especially in today’s more vulnerable populations. http://tinyurl.com/skipping-1

Still Need to Do Day: “The Twists and Turns: Engaging in Physical Activity at Any Age”

Strength training (aka resistance training) seems to be positively associated with physical and mental health in the senior population. This includes using free weights, fitness machines at home or in the gym, and activities such as swimming and rowing. In addition, however you move your body, whether it’s walking in the park or dancing at the rec center, it will be beneficial for your mood and energy level, and impact how you sustain yourself through the years. http://tinyurl.com/twists-turns1 

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.
