“New Flu Wave, Hemp Crackdown & Surprising GLP-1 Benefits: Health Trends You Need to Know Dec 01, 2025

In this episode of The Health and Wellness Connection, we break down the most important health news and wellness trends of the week—from a new flu strain surging in the UK and America to major updates in hemp laws, medical cannabis, and GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.

We start with the rapidly spreading new flu variant that is driving a spike in infections across the United States and the United Kingdom. We explore symptoms, transmission, and why experts are calling this flu season one of the most unpredictable in years.

Next, we discuss the federal government’s proposed hemp ban, a move that could dramatically impact the medical cannabis industry, CBD manufacturers, and businesses selling hemp-derived products. We cover what the law means, who it affects, and how it could reshape the future of cannabis-based health alternatives.

We also dive into the rising trend of “California Sober” living, where people reduce alcohol consumption in favor of hemp and cannabis-based alternatives. We look at why this wellness trend is growing, the potential health benefits, and what researchers are saying about its long-term impact.

In political health news, we break down Donald Trump’s recent push to promote IVF (in-vitro fertilization) while simultaneously supporting policies that reduce funding for women’s health services and Planned Parenthood. We analyze the political motivations, the public response, and what it all means for reproductive health access in America.

Finally, we explore new research on GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide—popular for weight loss but now linked to muscle-mass loss during treatment. We also highlight emerging studies suggesting GLP-1 agonists may help improve erectile dysfunction and even reduce the risk of infections, revealing surprising new benefits far beyond weight management.
