(llu.edu) — Families in Loma Linda can now hear directly from a local pediatric endocrinology chief about when GLP‑1 weight‑loss medications may be appropriate for adolescents with obesity. She stresses these drugs are FDA‑approved only for certain teens, must be closely monitored for side effects, and should always complement—not replace—healthy eating, sleep, activity, and behavioral support. 
• < What evolution reveals about eating, dieting and fat (npr.org) — Loma Linda gets a brief spotlight here as one of the so‑called global "blue zones," highlighted for its many health‑conscious Seventh‑day Adventist residents who tend to live longer.
