Ja’Marr Chase may be one of the NFL’s best wide receivers, but that doesn’t mean he’s satisfied with where he’s at physically. “I feel blessed for what I was able to do this season and the records I hit,” says Chase, who recently partnered with Fabletics to launch an athletic line, which also includes GridTech pieces. “But I’m already thinking about next year. Each season is a chance to push harder, go bigger, do better, and that progress starts in the offseason.’ Chase and his Cincinnati Bengals finished the 2025-2026 season with a disappointing 6-11 record, resulting in a third-place…

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are often portrayed as sudden breakthroughs, but their roots extend back more than a century. The path from early hormone research to today’s obesity medications is long, complex, and anything but smooth.When it comes to pharmacology, the big story these days is the development of the “glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) mimics,” the first truly effective medications to treat obesity. It’s a fascinating story to be sure, but get set for a bumpy ride. We are not playing Tiddlywinks here. The year was 1902. Physiologists William Bayliss and Ernest Starling had just injected an acid extract from…
These are the patients a registered dietitian would never recommend intermittent fasting to. Intermittent fasting (IF) has been a weight-loss method many individuals have turned to. It involves an alternating eating and fasting pattern with a goal of weight loss, better metabolic wellness, and reduced inflammation. Some common patterns include fasting for 16 hours and restricting food intake to an eight-hour window. Others assume their regular eating pattern for five days straight, then limit their calorie intake to between roughly 500 and 600 for two consecutive days. While positive results can be achieved from IF, there are also risks. If…
Working from home didn’t just change where we work—it quietly reshaped how families function. For many dads, especially those who found themselves at home during the pandemic, the lines between work, parenting, and personal time blurred almost overnight. That blur is where frustration tends to live. What struck me in my conversation with Thom Gibson is how little of his system is about optimization—and how much of it is about agreement. Default schedules. Clear hand-offs. Defined work hours that actually end. These aren’t rigid rules; they’re shared expectations. And that distinction matters. Default Schedules Create Space for Presence One of…

With chronic disease showing no signs of slowing down, the dietary guidelines were changed to focus on promoting the consumption of real food. As part of this shift, the Food Guide Pyramid has re-entered the chat after years of using the MyPlate model, sparking renewed discussion around fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and overall dietary balance. If it feels like dietary recommendations are always changing, and you are feeling more confused than clear, you are not alone. Sometimes, as a dietitian, it can be hard to keep up with all the conflicting information and changes. In this article, we will explore what…
K beauty didn’t become a global phenomenon overnight. It took years of education, trust building, and a belief that skincare could be both deeply effective and deeply intentional. Few people understand that evolution better than Charlotte Cho, founder of Soko Glam and Then I Met You. Long before sheet masks, essences, and snail mucin entered the mainstream, Charlotte was translating Seoul’s skincare culture for a U.S. audience, reframing beauty as a daily ritual rooted in consistency, prevention, and care. Today, as K beauty enters its second global wave, she remains at the center of the conversation not just as a…
Talent is a given in the NFL. What separates players isn’t always explosiveness or potential. It’s reliability under pressure–when things don’t go the way that they were diagramed during practice. As injuries reshaped depth charts and tested continuity this past season for the San Francisco 49ers, they moved forward with an unsettling calm. Their standard never fluctuated, nor did their expectations soften. For wide receiver Skyy Moore, who stepped into a fluid role that demanded constant readiness, the experience reinforced a belief he’s been quietly building: durability as a competitive advantage. “They have a way they do things,” Moore said.…
Most diet and fitness experts recommend restricting serving sizes to anyone who wants to lose weight. And measuring your food is the best way to do that. But what’s an accurate measure? Serving sizes, for instance, are a standard measure of food, in cup or gram weight. That doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing as portion size, which is the amount of food you take on your plate. What you need to focus on is portion size. Here’s how: One portion of raw vegetables or fruit equals the size of your closed fist. ¼ cup cooked vegetables is equivalent to…
