When people think of anxiety, they often picture some visible signs. They imagine panic, spiraling thoughts, avoidance, or moments when someone clearly looks overwhelmed. While anxiety can look like that. High functioning anxietyHidden anxietyPerfectionismBurnout That is not the only way it shows up. Sometimes anxiety is harder to notice, even for the person living with it. It can hide behind routines, ambition, reliability, and the ability to keep going. It can look like answering every email, meeting every deadline, remembering every key event and detail, showing up for people who matter, and still never quite feeling calm. It can look…
Here’s something no one really tells you when you start getting serious about wellness. The bottles start to pile up. What begins as a probiotic here and a biotin there turns into a full routine, and suddenly you are juggling multiple supplements every morning, hoping they are actually working together and not just existing side by side. The reality is, most of us are taking these ingredients in isolation without thinking about how they function as a system. And that is where things tend to fall short. Bellway’s Super Fiber Gummies + Beauty stands out for a different reason. It’s…
British boxer Conor Benn made his debut for the Zuffa boxing banner by beating Regis Prograis on points, resulting in the American fighter announcing his retirement. Now, “The Destroyer” has his sights set on Ryan Garcia and he’s dropping weight, in order to return to the welterweight division. Appearing ripped during the training camp for Prograis, Benn is hoping to make good on his challenge to WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia, after repeatedly calling him out for a championship battle. To do that, Benn will need to hit a maximum weight of 147 pounds for their clash, rumored to be…
Wake up stiff? Do this before you stretch. Most people reach for a stretch the moment they roll out of bed, feeling stiff. It seems like the obvious fix, and it’s what many of us have done for years. But it might actually be the wrong move, especially after 60. What I recommend instead is something called an osteoarticular warm-up, a short routine you can do right next to your bed, no equipment needed, that gets your joints moving before your muscles are asked to lengthen. Do this for five minutes tomorrow morning, and you’ll feel the difference immediately. Why…
From the outside, our relationship looked the way it had for 24 years: solid.After our first surrogacy experience ended in stillbirth, our friends were convinced we’d be fine because we were the “most together couple” they knew. I wasn’t so sure. For months, it had felt like my husband Ethan and I were two bodies fumbling to find each other in the dark. At home, our orbits rarely intersected. My eyes barely landed on Ethan. Once, he didn’t realize I was right behind him and he closed the door on me.It felt like we were suspended in the quiet between…
On Episode 283 of The Menace Podcast, host Dennis “The Menace” James, Milos Sarcev, and Jose Raymond took an early look at those that have already qualified for the 2026 Mr Olympia event in Las Vegas, and while Martin Fitzwater is slated to hit the stage, The Menace felt that he should sit this one out. Fitzwater had a solid 2025 season, finding fifth place at the Olympia and then winning the EVLS Prague Pro for a second straight year, but 2026 has been more physically and mentally challenging. At this year’s Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, the man they…

Not everything ends during a full moon. Some things become undeniable. The recent full moon in Scorpio is less about what happened in the moment and more about what’s lingering now—what feels unresolved, what feels heavier than usual, what’s quietly asking to be released. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, and traditionally by Mars, which governs action and instinct. Together, they create a tension between control and surrender—between what you want to hold onto and what you know you need to release. This is where the real work begins. Aries Let go of control disguised as urgency.…

He officially assumed this role on November 20, 2025, having previously served as the command’s Deputy Commanding General and acting commander Chief.
