To fix America’s health crisis, we need to treat the real problem: Metabolic disease

By Tro Kalayjian, DO

A new program just helped 50 participants shed more than 40 pounds each, get off nearly 100 prescriptions, and save roughly $83,000 in medication and care costs over one year. The program — focused on improving participants’ metabolic health — offered a clear glimpse of what’s possible when we address America’s health crisis at its root.

Today, one in three American adults suffers from metabolic syndrome — a condition marked by obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low cholesterol, and too many triglycerides in the blood. It underlies many chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease, and it sharply increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Discover Jersey Arts Launches Women’s History Month Campaign

This March, Discover Jersey Arts, a program of the ArtPride New Jersey Foundation, proudly launches its Women’s History Month seasonal campaign, amplifying the voices of women whose creativity shapes our communities, even when those voices haven’t always been centered.

This year’s campaign leans into a timely and powerful message: when young women look to the stories of those who lived, fought, and created before them, they gain more than inspiration; they gain direction. Across cultures, disciplines, and generations, women have led movements, challenged norms, and redefined what art can be. By celebrating their legacies, Discover Jersey Arts invites the next generation to see themselves in a long line of artists who made change through expression, and to know their voices belong in what comes next.

“This Women’s History Month, we are turning up the volume,” said Adam Perle, President & CEO of ArtPride New Jersey. “When young women see themselves reflected in the stories of groundbreaking performers, comedians, visual artists, and cultural leaders, they understand that their creativity carries power. The arts give voice to possibility, and New Jersey’s arts community continues to lead the way.”

The arts remain a powerful economic driver in New Jersey, generating $692.1 million in economic revenue annually, supporting nearly 13,000 jobs, and contributing $156.6 million in federal, state, and local tax revenue.

Beyond those numbers, the arts fuel confidence, identity, and connection to community.  This is especially for young women seeking examples of resilience and innovation.

New Jersey American Water to Start Annual Spring Cleaning

Beginning this weekNew Jersey American Water will perform the annual flushing of its water distribution system to continue to provide customers with high-quality, reliable water service.

“System flushing is a routine but critical part of maintaining water quality and system performance,” said Ben Morris, Vice President of Operations at New Jersey American Water. “It clears out natural sediment, helps us confirm hydrants are functioning properly, and helps ensure the system can deliver the pressure and flow our customers expect every day.”

Flushing involves simultaneously opening fire hydrants in a specific area to create increased water flows. This routine flushing program also includes flushing blowoff valves on dead-end water mains throughout the system. While water mains are being cleaned, customers may notice short periods of low water pressure or discolored water. If customers experience temporary water discoloration, New Jersey American Water recommends running the cold water until it is clear. The following steps are also encouraged:
