Cystic Fibrosis Hope Grows From Raleigh Foundation
Pete Proimos, once told CF patients wouldn’t live past high school, now champions Filotimo Foundation in Raleigh. The group has given over $400,000 to CF patients, aiding families at North Carolina hospitals and funding rent help and fertility treatment. Proimos credits Trikafta for dramatically extending lifespans and aims to keep CF families supported as medical advances continue.

Cold plunges may blunt gains from weight training
A small study found blood flow and protein uptake dropped in a cold-plunged leg, potentially reducing strength and muscle gains from lifting. Experts caution results are preliminary and timing, duration, and individual factors need more research. Overall, most evidence suggests skipping ice baths after workouts for maximal gains.
