Lionel Richie’s hospital ICU heart scare, heart health myths, and this week’s latest food recalls and food safety alerts are all on the table as we break down the latest trending medical headlines and celebrity health news on Dr. Frita LIVE!
We'll kick things off with our Weekly Recall Roundup. I’ll lay out what we know so far on multiple FDA recall alerts, from foods pulled for inspection issues, to expanded recalls across 16 states, to products tied to Salmonella and E. coli outbreak concerns, and the food recalls raised to the FDA’s most serious risk category. We’ll also share practical ways to check labels, confirm lot codes, and reduce risk at home.
Then we'll discuss Lionel Richie, after fans noticed him needing a chair mid-performance and he later underwent cardiac testing in an ICU. With no public diagnosis shared, we’ll walk through what doctors typically check when someone is admitted for heart concerns. Let's also talk about warning signs we should never shrug off.
We’re also talking TLC’s T-Boz after a sickle cell crisis landed her in the hospital. We’ll explain what a crisis looks like inside the body, what can trigger it, and how treatment has evolved.
In our Myth vs Facts segment, RHONJ star Caroline Manzo’s “heart attack waiting to happen” warning reminds us that looking healthy is not the same as being low-risk.
Next, let's shine a spotlight on real hope in cancer care: we'll have a candid conversation about a newly approved daily pancreatic cancer pill.
Plus, with football season back, we’ll cover new research reporting at least 1 in 4 former NFL players in a studied group had CTE, what it is, why it cannot be diagnosed during life yet, and what families should know about repeated head impacts.
And to close, we’re getting real about gym anxiety with Gabourey Sidibe and how to restart movement after years away from the gym with realistic, kind, sustainable steps.
