Medicare India Insights Archive: May 2025 Health and Wellness Articles

When it comes to health decisions, choices about your body, medications, and treatments that affect your daily life. Also known as personal health management, it's not about following trends—it's about knowing what works for you, when, and why. In May 2025, Medicare India Insights delivered straight talk on the topics that matter most: from herbal supplements like ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb used for stress and energy, but risky for some to life-changing procedures like IVF, a fertility process with clear stages and timelines. These aren’t abstract ideas—they’re real choices people face every day, and the articles break them down without fluff.

What do these posts have in common? They all cut through the noise. You won’t find vague promises here. Instead, you’ll find clear answers: Who should avoid ashwagandha? Why is pancreatic cancer so hard to treat? What actually happens during your first orthopedic visit? How long does IVF take from start to finish? And what’s the #1 diabetes medicine doctors recommend? Each article answers these questions with facts, not hype. You’ll learn about orthopedic visit, the process of seeing a specialist for joint or bone pain, including what to bring and what to ask, and how it’s not just about diagnosis—it’s about understanding your next steps. You’ll also see how diabetes medicine, medications like metformin that control blood sugar and are often the first line of treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s personal. And if you’re thinking about weight loss after 55, heart surgery risks, or natural anxiety relief, you’ll find honest takes on what’s possible and what’s not.

There’s no sugarcoating here. Cancer recovery isn’t a guaranteed win. Fast weight loss isn’t easy. IVF isn’t quick. But knowing the truth helps you plan better. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, navigating fertility, or trying to understand your meds, these articles give you the clarity you need to make smarter moves. You’ll walk away not just informed—but ready to act.

Below are the May 2025 articles that got real with health in India—no fluff, no filler, just what you need to know.
