Casual bodybuilding followers already know about the Olympia and Arnold Classic, but the fans who have deep connections to the sport know that there is a third show that could be called a crown jewel of the industry – the Pittsburgh Pro.

When I graduated from my dietetics program in 2016, intuitive eating wasn’t even on my radar. But through my nutrition education, I started healing my own relationship with food after a rocky past of disordered eating patterns and being in constant flux following the latest “health” trends. Instead of relying on social media, diet books, and magazines to dictate my eating habits, I learned factual information about the food I was eating and how my body processed it, and I started embracing intuitive eating techniques. Prior to this, I was a classic “clean eater” (I know, major eye roll) that…

Every other week, there seems to be a new villain in the nutrition world, and canola oil is no stranger to bad press. But real talk, is canola oil bad for you? Canola oil (also known as rapeseed oil) comes from vegetables, more specifically, oil extracted from the canola plant. This popular kitchen staple can be found in many highly processed foods (like candy bars), which is one of the reasons why it’s often associated with poor health outcomes. Some health communities have also raised concerns over how it’s extracted and produced, and some argue that canola oil’s high omega-6…
As a kid, brain health coach Ryan Glatt, CPT, NBC-HWC, says he was addicted to video games, overweight, and recovering from a concussion when he found Dance Dance Revolution, the famous exercise video game, or “exergame,” that he says helped him get in better shape and boost his brain health. “Since then, I’ve been fascinated with the intersection of gaming, brain health, behavior, and fitness,” says Glatt, who is now director of the FitBrain program at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute. “While we don’t have a lot of clear evidence around the neurological mechanism of exergaming, we theorize that it can…
If you’ve watched The Menu, you probably remember the awkward scene when the chef invites Tyler, the self-proclaimed culinary expert, to cook in his prestigious kitchen. Unfortunately, after attempting to assemble a simple leek and lamb plate—and failing spectacularly—Tyler surrendered. No spoilers, but botching the dinner didn’t end so well for him. Luckily for you, though, you don’t have to suffer Tyler’s fate when faced with those stalky green veggies: Learning how to cook leeks properly is actually pretty easy. Closely related to onions and garlic, leeks—which look like dark green, stalky leaves connected by a white stem—often are mistaken for larger versions…
These losses begin very early on. As documented in her 2014 book, When Boys Become Boys, Stanford psychology professor Judy Y. Chu embedded with a small group of boys, from their years in pre-kindergarten to first grade. She regularly observed and interviewed them, their teachers, and their parents. Over two years, she reported that the boys became less present and more somber as they picked up cultural scripts tied to masculine stereotypes and learned to play the part of “real” boys. She watched as they changed everything—how they dressed, played, behaved—and traded their natural exuberance for a studied pose rooted in…
