Episode Details

Virginia just poured over $35 million into addiction recovery programs across the state, funding 150 initiatives focused on prevention, treatment, and harm reduction—with new grants hitting Southwest and Southside Virginia and renewing support for communities hardest hit by overdose deaths among Black residents. State leaders say this marks a bold, localized approach to opioid settlement funds, empowering communities to meet people where they are. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech neuroscientist Timothy Jarome is uncovering how obesity may accelerate brain aging, linking high-fat diets in young rats to memory decline resembling early Alzheimer’s—offering clues to prevent cognitive decline later in life.
