Healthy 55

Our purpose

Diabetes

More than 29 million Americans suffer from diabetes. Some treatments carry serious risks, such as Invokana's potential to cause ketoacidosis.

Heart Health

Hormonal shifts are expected throughout different life stages. Synthetic hormones, like testosterone, have been linked to heart attack and stroke.

Medications

Nearly every elderly individual takes medications. Regularly prescribed drugs like Nexium, Xarelto and Eliquis may have life-threatening side effects.

Medical Devices

Medical devices are often used in corrective surgical procedures. Flawed blood clot filters or failed vaginal mesh can cause serious complications.

Cancer

Cancer is one of the nation's leading causes of death. Certain products suspected to be carcinogenic should be avoided, such as talcum powder.

Home Hazards

1.3 million elderly Americans live in nursing homes. Dangerous living situations, like understaffed nursing homes, can lead to bedsores, abuse and negligence.
