MD Spin: Volume 3
Essential Health. Expertly Curated.

Over the past five weeks, MDSpin has continued its mission to bring you Health News You Can Use. Whether you’ve followed each issue closely or are just catching up, Volume 3 brings our latest insights together in one thoughtful recap.
This volume began with a focused look at brain cancer, highlighting a challenging diagnosis that often gets left out of the larger oncology conversation. We then shifted gears to explore everyday fundamentals—your skin, eyes, and teeth—and what it truly takes to keep them healthy beyond surface-level care.
We dug into wrinkle prevention, decoding hype versus science in our Aesthetic Angle column. And true to MDSpin form, we stayed curious: Which wellness teas are actually worth sipping? And what’s really going on with cortisol—the stress hormone that quietly influences everything from your energy to your sleep?
Volume 3 is a reminder that staying informed is an act of self-care—and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

Section 3: Aesthetic Angle- Preventing Wrinkles

Section 4: The Wellness Way- Wellness Teas - Which Ones Work?
Certainly, throughout history, herbs and plants have played a vital role in healing and wellness. Many modern medicines originate from natural sources—aspirin from willow bark, morphine from the opium poppy and digoxin from foxglove. These botanical treasures led to scientific advances. Common herbs served as teas also serve as gentle, accessible remedies for everyday health and wellness..
Section 5: Hormone Highlights- Cortisol
You’ve probably seen the ads:
“Do you experience random eye twitching? Mood swings? Shoulder pain? Bloating?”—all signs supposedly linked to high cortisol levels. The pitch? Moonbrew, a mystical herbal potion, can fix this “hidden problem.” The truth? These symptoms are common, often benign, and very rarely caused by elevated cortisol in the way these swindlers want you to believe.
