From changes in appetite to adjusting to smaller meals, from experiencing mild side effects to building new habits, there is much to process. Add to this the…
Coffee, in moderation, offers lots of health benefits and is a great pick-me-up. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” explains the Cleveland Clinic.

His influence stretches from past champions like Tyson Gay to current world leader Noah Lyles, the fastest American in the 200-meter sprint. Brauman’s roots trace back to his days as a high school long jumper, but it was coaching that ultimately claimed him—something he attributes to family. “If your father was…
