A Washington, D.C., pizzeria owner denied having any concerns over potentially hosting President Donald Trump on Friday after a local magazine referenced her business in an article about the potential "political maelstrom."Washingtonian food editor Jessica Sidman wrote on Thursday that any restaurant in the nations capital would be in a "losing situation" whether it welcomed Trump or not. Sidman referenced Menomale Pizzeria as an example of a place that faced boycotts and backlash after congratulating Trumps presidential win in 2024 shortly after the election."[M]ost restaurants would serve him because thats just what restaurants do. Still, they would undoubtedly face boycott threats from locals and an onslaught of online and real-life rage," Sidman wrote.DC FOOD WORKERS VOW TRUMP OFFICIALS WON'T FEEL WELCOMED WHEN DINING OUT IN NATION'S CAPITALMenomale Pizzerias owner Mariya Rusciano took to X after the article was published to clarify that despite Sidmans argument, she would consider it disrespectful to reject any president and welcomed an opportunity for Trump to visit."It is disrespectful to turn @POTUS away. It also means turning away millions of fellow Americans who voted differently. We welcome everyone & it would be a privilege to welcome @POTUS. Also, we hear @realDonaldTrump eats pizza with a fork & knife, like a true Neapolitan," Rusciano wrote on her shops X account.She nevertheless thanked Sidman for mentioning her restaurant in the article in a follow-up post.In an additional comment to Fox News Digital, Rusciano reiterated that hosting Trump would be a privilege and hoped that her story could be used as a sign of unity in D.C."We do not want to be associated with the notion that a D.C. business should fear to welcome the president or that we fear to welcome him because of what happened back in November with our congratulatory post," Rusciano said. "Quite the opposite is true it would be a privilege!"D.C. RESTAURANT SERVER FIRED AFTER COMMENTS ABOUT REFUSING SERVICE TO SOME TRUMP OFFICIALSShe continued, "Of course, we were immediately subjected to calls for boycott and name-calling, but overall, we got many more likes than dislikes. This is encouraging, and we stand for civility, unity and respect for all Americans in the Nation's Capital. I hope that our story can be highlighted as a positive example of what D.C. should stand for - civility, unity and tolerance."Rusciano previously told Fox News Harris Faulkner in December that she believed there was a more positive shift happening in D.C. after seeing the response to her original post.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"As the post started going viral across D.C. and the region, we received many more messages of support far outweighing the negative comments, which really showed me that people, even in a place like D.C., are tired of the divisive rhetoric, and it's about time we come together and start honoring one another as fellow Americans," Rusciano said.

A small group of Republican lawmakers who did not feel their leaders were pushing a conservative enough agenda first began meeting in secret a decade ago, huddling in small rooms both inside and outside the U.S. Capitol, while closely guarding their membership for fear of punishment by top House GOP leaders.Fast-forward to Thursday morning, and the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) was welcoming its members, top GOP donors, Trump administration officials and even Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to an ornate room inside Washington, D.C.s Willard Hotel to mark its decade anniversary and its first annual policy summit."Its a big celebration and an anniversary for them, and I want to be a part of it," Johnson told Fox News Digital just before addressing the group. "Some of my closest friends are in this room."The caucus that former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, once called "legislative terrorists" are now at the center of key Republican policy fights in Washington. And while theyre still a source of frustration for many GOP lawmakers who find the group to be disruptive to Republicans agenda HFC is hiding no more and has the ear of some of the most powerful people in D.C.GOP LAWMAKERS CLASH OVER STRATEGY TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CRISIS"This was never our goal, you know, but we wanted to have an impact," Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., a founding member of HFC who left Congress and returned in 2025, told Fox News Digital of the event at the Willard. "Theres always a lot of agreement in the conference, like, Oh yeah, we would like to get there, butsometimes you kind of need the difficult people to help move it a little bit further to the right than what you thought you might be able to."And rather than being a thorn in the side of Republican leaders, HFC is trying to work hand-in-hand with President Donald Trump to push for conservative policies.They are not going against the grain any longer, House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital."Were driving the grain," he said. "We work with the president to advance his agenda in the most conservative way possible, and weve been successful."Border czar Tom Homan, who also addressed the event along with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, told Fox News Digital that HFC was key to advancing Trumps border agenda."Theyre on the right side," Homan said. "They want to secure the border because they know a secure border, a strong border, gives us strong national securitythey want us to enforce the laws."In late 2023, a group of HFC members were key to successfully pushing out a House speaker mid-congressional term for the first time in U.S. history.Theyve also played significant roles in pushing Republican spending bills and the recent One Big, Beautiful Bill Act to the right at least in the House.Even in the middle of their two-day event on Thursday, some HFC members threatened to sink a GOP-led spending bill as a warning shot to House leaders to keep on a conservative path.The approach has been seen as divisive for years, and this year is no different."They act as if they are the only principled conservatives in the conference. Its almost as if they would rather be in the minority," one House Republican, granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital. "They love the attention they get when they hold out, only to fold in the end. Its why no one respects them."Another GOP lawmaker said, in the context of current talks to avert a government shutdown, "The Freedom Caucus is not what it was two years ago or even four years ago. I dont know what you call them, but Andy Harris speaks for himself."GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEM"What is the goal of the Freedom Caucus? Is it to win? Is it to fold?" they asked. "I mean, have they lost their teeth? From an outside perspective, no, I still think they get heard."Current HFC members brushed off the criticism."We're willing to negotiate with Donald Trump and the Senate to beat Democrats with the most conservative bill possible, so please keep assuming that we're dead, and please keep writing that obituary, because we're winning," HFC Policy Chair Chip Roy, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.Harris said of the critics, "If winning is folding, then Ill fold every time."Indeed, the group does have the ear of the White House.Former HFC Chair Scott Perry, R-Pa., who gave opening remarks during a portion of the summit exclusively viewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that White House aides attended the groups recent meeting with conservative senators."Last night, with representatives from the White House, we were asked, What is the plan? Im not exaggerating, this is your Freedom Caucus, the legislative terrorists in the room where it happened," Perry told the audience.But the group is expected to see some high-profile departures in the next congressional term: Roy is running for Texas Attorney General, and Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and Byron Donalds, R-Fla., are both running for governor, among others.Roy told Fox News Digital of the turnover, "We've had a conversation. We have things we want to do to help kind of make sure and ensure the longevity. Right now, we've got to make sure the good people are running. We have to make sure we continue to grow the ranks of the Freedom Caucus."And newer members have signaled theyre ready to fill the ranks of those left behind."Now that Ive been here, and its my third year, and I get comfortable with this, it gives me a lot more confidence to know what is the right path or whats the wrong path," said Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., whose profile in HFC has risen in his short time in Congress. "And I think theres other members like me that are as these guys step away, theres plenty of really talented members to step in their shoes."

Residents in a ritzy area of Los Angeles are getting frustrated with local leaders such as Democrat Mayor Karen Bass over a recent rise in crime, with one resident saying that people in the community are "on edge" and says more needs to be done.The call for increased security in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, comes after longtime American Idol music producer Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found dead inside their home on July 14.Police believe the couple was killed on July 10 as two calls were placed reporting a possible burglary incident at the couple's Encino house. The suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested on double homicide charges. It's believed the alleged killings were random, officials said.One neighbor previously told Fox News Digital that the suspect had mental health issues and would sometimes allegedly stalk people.AMERICAN IDOL EXEC MURDER: TIMELINE SHOWS POLICE LEFT HOME MINUTES BEFORE FATAL SHOOTING"He had mental health issues. He would walk around here all day. We got Ring cameras he would walk by and flash knives at our Ring cameras," one neighbor said. "He was kind of stalking one of my sons... like hitting him up on Instagram, like wanting him to be his friend. He was like, No, I'm good."Rob Glushon, president of the Encino Property Owners Association, who is a neighbor of Kaye and Deluca, told Fox News Digital the double murder is only one flashpoint in a recent rise in crime."I had a next-door neighbor and her husband killed by a burglar," Glushon said. "But that happened while other increases in burglaries and home invasions were going on. So the reality is, people are on edge because everyone knows someone who's been victimized.""And that isn't normal," he added.Glushon was part of a group of Encino residents who gathered outside Van Nuys City Hall to present a list of demands on July 31, which includes an increase of Los Angeles Police Department resources in the neighborhood, according to FOX 11.'AMERICAN IDOL' EXEC MURDER SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY USED COUPLE'S OWN GUN IN GRISLY KILLINGSOn the same day Encino met to present their list of demands to Bass, two more break-ins were reported in the neighborhood, with one being at the home of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Teddi Mellencamp.Following the break-ins, a resident told the station, "We are being targetedIts scary.Meanwhile, Glushon said city leaders, including Bass, aren't doing enough to address the concerns of Encino residents, saying the LAPD is woefully understaffed."There's no question that [the LAPD is] understaffed citywide," he said. "We're frustrated, we're angryYou know, people are understandably fearful and they want action.""We are demanding action from the mayor, our city council members, and we're gonna hold them accountable," Glushon said.Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon and Larry Fink contributed to this report.

A slice of cheese might seem irresistible before bedtime but recent research suggests it may do more harm than good.A study from the University of Montreal's Dreams and Nightmares Laboratory found that certain late-night foods can induce bizarre or unpleasant dreams, as Fox News Digital previously reported.A top offender was dairy, whether eaten as desserts or savory treats.TWO OF THESE FRUITS A DAY CAN BOOST GUT HEALTH, FIGHT CANCER RISK, DOCTOR SAYSTore Nielsen, director of the laboratory, told Fox News Digital in July there were clear patterns in how certain food groups correlated with the tone of participants' dreams."Of the participants who stated that they thought food affected their dreams, the top culprits blamed for disturbing dreams were desserts/sweets (31%), dairy (22%) and meat (16%)," Nielsen said."The top culprits blamed for bizarre dreams were again desserts/sweets (38%) and dairy (27%). Meat was a distant third (8%)."Nielsen noted three main factors behind this: lactose intolerance, participants eating close to bedtime and participants not following internal cues about when to stop eating.NEUROLOGISTS REVEAL THE TOP 3 FOODS TO AVOID TO PROTECT YOUR BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM"[If people test] positive for lactose intolerance or other food allergies, [they could] carefully dose the ingestion of the culprit foods to minimize their symptoms especially at night," the researcher said.Fox News Digital reached out to Nielsen for more information on cheese specifically.Though research into the matter is still ongoing, the prospect raises a question: is cheese before bed a bad idea?Two medical experts presented Fox News Digital with differing opinions.Daryl Gioffre, a Florida-based gut health expert and author of "Get Off Your Sugar," said that dairy is "one of the most acidic foods" that humans consume.EXPERTS SAY DATE AND PUMPKIN SEED SNACK HACK COULD HELP IMPROVE SLEEP, EASE STRESS"It produces mucus in the upper [gastrointestinal] tract, it's one of the top allergies in children, and because it's high in fat and protein, it takes much longer to break down," he told Fox News Digital."That's the problem at night, when your body should be in rest and repair mode, not working overtime to digest."Gioffre pointed to cheese's lack of fiber as a culprit. He also said it can increase hydrochloric acid in the body, leading to bloating, gas and worsening acid reflux.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAfter eating cheese at night, "digestion slows down further, leaving food to ferment and rot in your gut, hence bloating, reflux and poor sleep," Gioffre noted.On the other hand, New Jersey-based dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade said cheese has some sleep-improving effects."Cheese can actually play a role in better sleep thanks to tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make serotonin and melatonin," she said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Its also a great source of calcium, which helps convert tryptophan into melatonin while supporting the brain signals that regulate sleep."Still, Palinski-Wade warned that everyone responds differently to dairy."Finding the right balance and timing is key," she said. "Bottom line: if you find yourself tossing and turning after a nighttime cheese snack, it may be worth skipping it."Still, that doesn't mean you have to cut it out completely, Palinsky-Wade said."Just enjoy it in moderation earlier in the day to play it safe."

Jeffrey Epstein's estate is expected to begin handing documents over to Capitol Hill lawmakers on Monday, pursuant to a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee last month.Trustees tasked with handling the late pedophile's matters were ordered to turn over a tranche of files, including his infamous "birthday book," as part of House lawmakers' investigation into Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.A committee aide told Fox News Digital on Monday that they expect the first production of documents from the Epstein estate that day, but they did not elaborate on what the first tranche might contain.Fox News Digital also reached out to the lawyer representing Epstein's estate for comment.HOUSE MOVES TO EXPOSE EPSTEIN FILES, AUTHORIZES OVERSIGHT PROBECommittee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter on Aug. 25, requesting a slew of documents by Sept. 8."It is our understanding that the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is in custody and control of documents that may further the Committees investigation and legislative goals. Further, it is our understanding the Estate is ready and willing to provide these documents to the Committee pursuant to a subpoena," Comer wrote at the time.Subpoenaed documents include all entries in a book compiled by Maxwell for Epstein's 50th birthday, Epstein's will, and information on his 2008 non-prosecution agreement.Lawmakers hope that the "birthday book," which allegedly includes personalized messages from Epstein's friends and associates, will shed light on his personal connections. The information is likely to be dated, however, with the book having been compiled in 2003.Information is also being sought on Epstein's financial transactions, call and visitor logs, and "any document or record that could reasonably be construed to be a potential list of clients involved in sex, sex acts, or sex trafficking facilitated by Mr. Jeffrey Epstein," according to a copy of the subpoena viewed by Fox News Digital.An attorney representing the executors of Epstein's estate told Fox News Digital last month, "As the Co-Executors have always said, they will comply with all lawful process in this matter, and that includes the Committees subpoena."Comer has subpoenaed a litany of individuals, as well as the Department of Justice (DOJ), for information related to Epstein.HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE RELEASES THOUSANDS OF EPSTEIN DOCUMENTSHe is also bringing in Alexander Acosta, a former Trump administration labor secretary who also served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida when Epstein entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the federal government in 2008, for a transcribed interview on Sept. 19.He and other members of the House Oversight Committee met with Epstein survivors last week.About 33,000 pages of files turned over by the DOJ have already been released by the House Oversight Committee, though the vast majority of those were already public knowledge.

Christine Brown Woolley instantly knew when her husband, Kody Brown, found his "soulmate."The 53-year-old, who chronicled her polygamous marriage in the TLC reality series "Sister Wives," is sharing her story in a new book, "Sister Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Finding Freedom." It lays bare her strict Mormon upbringing, her decision to walk away from a 25-year marriage and her discovery of love in a monogamous relationship.Fox News Digital reached out to Kody Brown, 56, for comment.DUCK DYNASTY STARS WILLIE AND KORIE ROBERTSON SHARE THE HARD-WON LESSONS OF DECADES-LONG MARRIAGE"So many women have been asking me, How did you do it? How did you know it was time to leave?" the mother of six told Fox News Digital. "I thought this was the perfect way to explain what happened. I felt it was the perfect time to look into the past, come to terms with what happened and put closure on things."Brown Woolley and Brown were spiritually married in 1994. Over the years, she described him as "distant" while he had "actual relationships" with his other wives."Its one thing to know your roommate is having sex in the next bedroom over," she wrote. "Its another when its your husband and you can hear everything. Yes, we were all married to him. Yes, I knew what he was up to on the nights when he wasnt with me. And yes, it shocked me how much it hurt to hear it, especially when it sounded as if they had actual relationships, where they talked and played and enjoyed each other physically.""We were all careful not to demonstrate affection in front of the other sister wives no handholding or terms of endearment but at night, I could hear the affection," she also wrote."It was different in my bedroom."Kody legally married his first wife, Meri Brown, in 1990. The eldest of 25 siblings, Meri remained Kody's legal spouse while he entered into spiritual marriages with Janelle Brown in 1993 and Brown Woolley in 1994. In 2010, he took a fourth wife, Robyn Brown, in a spiritual ceremony. Four years later, Kody divorced Meri and legally married Robyn.

"He was getting ready to go see her, and he was so giddy. He was so excited. I remember thinking he was more in love with her right now, before they were married, than he was with me at the beginning of our marriage.""And they had a longer honeymoon," she said. "Ours was cut short. Just watching them together it clicked. They would be in conversation, and their words started to become similar I just realized, This is what a soulmate looks like.""Even Robyn said that Kody was her soulmate," she reflected. "I never felt like Kody was my soulmate ever But it was after they married that I knew. I didnt even know what a soulmate relationship looked like. I never felt like I really had one."Being married to more than one person, or bigamy, is illegal across the United States, The Associated Press reported. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abandoned polygamy in 1890 and strictly prohibits it today. The Browns considered themselves fundamentalist Mormons.Brown Woolley said at the time, she believed plural marriage was "a higher calling." She also wanted to follow in her parents' footsteps of having a polygamous relationship."It was something that I really believed God wanted me to [experience], and it would make me a better person," she said. "I felt our family would be stronger because of it I was also very loyal to my family... I really believed that family was more important than if I had a bad day or if I was jealous or if I was feeling insecure."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

You still move your best foot forward."Brown Woolleys marriage to Kody crumbled as they skyrocketed to fame. She claimed that Kody withheld time with her as he paid more attention to his other wives."I will treat you like you are lovable when you make an effort to be lovable," he allegedly told her, as quoted in the memoir.WATCH: SISTER WIVES STAR KODY BROWN, FOUR SPOUSES EXPLAIN THE MOTIVATION TO CHRONICLE THEIR PLURAL MARRIAGEIn the book, Brown Woolley alleged that Kody later became largely absent as a parent as he immersed himself in his relationship with Robyn.When their 3-year-old had kidney failure, Kody didnt come to the hospital. Instead, he stayed with Robyn "doing laundry," she claimed. She later expressed her desire to be more intimate in their relationship, but he declared, "Im not really interested in that with you.""Kody just wanted to be married to Robyn," Brown Woolley wrote. "Ultimately, thats OK. Dragging us along as pawns to keep the show going and money flowing into his pot? Not OK."In the book, she also pointed out that on camera, Kody said, "I was not attracted to Christine in any kind of physical sense." The wives were "horrified."It was clear from watching the TV series that the marriage was far from functioning."I remember watching and thinking to myself, I dont think I can do this anymore," she told Fox News Digital. "I just saw how much Kody really did love Robyn, so much. What they had was very different from what I had. To me, that became clearer on camera I think watching yourself on TV really opens up your eyes to what youre doing. It was a magnifying glass."She noted it was "such a good day" to realize her marriage was over."I was standing on my balcony right outside my bedroom. There was this beautiful mountain. I looked at it and was like, God, Im just not happy. Im trying so hard. I want my kids to be happy, but Im not happy. I dont think I can be married to Kody anymore."God speaks to us. I just remember hearing to myself, You dont have to be unhappy. I want you to be happy. Its OK for you to leave. Thats when I realized it was OK to leave. It was OK for me to start living for myself.""I was not being a great example to my children," she pointed out. "I never forgot the look on their faces when I would tell them, Everythings fine. They looked at me like I had lost my mind My kids knew I wasnt in a happy marriage. I cant show them its OK to stay in an unhappy marriage. I wanted them to have happy marriages I needed to be a good example for my kids. I needed to show them it was OK to leave."In 2021, Brown Woolley left Kody. In 2023, she said, "I do" once more to her second husband, David Woolley. They share a monogamous relationship.It all made sense, she said.LEANN RIMES CLAIMS SHE BECAME 'A TARGET' DURING EDDIE CIBRIAN CHEATING SCANDAL"I remember thinking, David is my soulmate. This is how Robyn and Kody must feel about each other. No wonder Kody never wanted to leave Robyns side. I never want to leave David, so I completely get it."Kodys spiritual marriages to his first three wives have since ended. Both Meri, 54, and Janelle, 56, announced their split in 2022. Robyn, 46, remains his legal spouse.Today, Brown Woolley lives in Utah with David. She still has a relationship with God but has left the fundamentalist Mormon faith behind.Looking back, she said she would "do it all over again.""To have what I have, to be the person that I am today, to have the children that I have I would do the whole thing again," she said."I have incredible children, and I really like who I am today, and thats because I lived in a plural marriage. My strengths, my independence came from plural marriage. I still have friends who live it and, for them, it works for me. [But] Im not ever going to live it again. David and I? Of course not. Were loving monogamy more than anything."

The FBI will welcome a second deputy director for the first time in its history on Monday, with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey resigning his position to join the bureau.Bailey will serve as co-deputy director alongside Dan Bongino, with the pair reporting to FBI Director Kash Patel. The unprecedented setup comes as President Donald Trump is placing a new emphasis on federal law enforcement amid his wider crime crackdown. There also has been controversy within the FBI regarding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, with sources saying Bongino has been deeply frustrated."As I approach the final hours as your Attorney General, I am profoundly grateful to Missouri, as it has been the honor of my life to serve you," Bailey wrote in a statement on social media. "Together, we have accomplished much for the place we call home. Until Missouri calls again, thank you."The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.TRUMP TO DEPLOY MILITARY TO BORDER, END BIDEN PAROLE POLICIES IN FLURRY OF DAY 1 EXECUTIVE ORDERSAs Missouri's AG, Bailey made national headlines opposing former President Joe Biden's efforts to wipe away student debt. He also worked to curb Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs at multiple major companies, including at Starbucks, which he accused of "race-based hiring" earlier this year. Bailey also spoke up in favor of President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.Bailey also launched an anti-human trafficking task force and addressed more than 1,100 reported incidents in Missouri, in addition to clearing the backlog of Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) kits to improve prosecution of sexual assault cases.Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., hailed Bailey's hiring in a statement to Fox News Digital on Monday, praising the former prosecutor's work in his home state."Andrew Bailey is going to be terrific at the FBI," Hawley said.

Now he will bring all those skills to bear for the country."FBI'S DAN BONGINO THINKING OF RESIGNING AFTER CLASH WITH AG BONDI: SOURCEU.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed Bailey's hiring last month as Trump launched the federal takeover of Washington, D.C. and his national crime crackdown."I am thrilled to welcome Andrew Bailey as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI," Bondi told Fox News Digital. "He has served as a distinguished state attorney general and is a decorated war veteran, bringing expertise and dedication to service. His leadership and commitment to country will be a tremendous asset as we work together to advance President Trumps mission."Bailey's entry comes after weeks of rumblings within the FBI regarding the Epstein files. Bongino is said to have raised his voice in outrage during a private discussion with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and Bondi before storming out of the meeting, according to two sources close to DOJ leadership. The ordeal had led him to consider resigning from the FBI, another source said.10 REASONS DOJ AND FBI FACE BACKLASH AFTER EPSTEIN FILES FLOPBongino was frustrated about the rollout of a public Epstein memo in July and what he viewed as Bondi's "lack of transparency from the start." The memo, a joint product of the DOJ and FBI, said the two agencies had no further information to share with the public about Epstein's case, a revelation that sparked fury among the MAGA base.It has been nearly two months since the rumors of Bongino's potential resignation began, however, and he still remains at the FBI.Fox News' Ashley Oliver and Brooke Singman contributed to this report

A new study suggests thatlysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), also known as acid, could reduce anxiety.This marks the first-ever trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MM120 (a pharmaceutical formulation of LSD) as a monotherapy for patients with moderate to severe generalized anxiety disorder, according to lead author Daniel Karlin, M.D., chief medical officer of MindMed, a biopharmaceutical company in New York.The study waspublished in the Journal of the American Medical Association.THE KEY TO LIVING LONGER COULD BE TIED TO A SURPRISING SUBSTANCE, STUDY SUGGESTSNearly 200 adults between the ages of 18 and 74received either a single oral dose of LSD at various does, or a placebo "dummy pill," for a three-month period, according to a press release.The dosing sessions were individually conducted in private rooms with two trained monitors who observed the participants for at least 12 hours. No psychotherapy was provided.Researchers tracked changes in participants anxiety scores at weeks 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12, with week 4 serving as the main point of evaluation.After the four weeks, patients receiving the highest doses had significantly lower anxiety scores than the others.At 12 weeks, 65% of patients taking 100 milligrams showed benefits, with nearly 50% in remission from anxiety.PSYCHEDELICS AS POTENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ARE EXPLORED BY TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONResearchers also tested LSD's impact on depression, finding that the highest doses were linked to significant improvements.Karlin shared that the effects of LSD were almost immediate.
