It would be so delightful, even life-affirming, to get Novo Nordisk’s execrable O-O-O-Ozempic TV ad off the air, or even reduce its malevolent presence. While there is no shortage of cringe-worthy TV ads (am I the only one who wants that stupid emu turned into an artillery target?) it would be difficult to pick a more hated 60 seconds of TV than the Ozempic ad. Perhaps Pfizer can help out. The company just published positive Phase II results of Danuglipron (formerly PF-06882961) in a new JAMA Network article. Danuglipron, like Ozempic, is also a Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, but there is a significant difference between the two drugs. As if…

I want to introduce you to a transformative concept that has revolutionized my approach to productivity. It’s called “The Productivity Diet,” and it’s all about striking the delicate balance between quality and quantity in our daily lives. Just like any diet, it’s not a quick fix, but a sustainable lifestyle that fuels our productivity over time. In a world that values constant busyness and the pressure to do more, we often overlook the importance of quality in our work. We become obsessed with ticking off tasks on our to-do lists, without considering the impact on our well-being and the long-term…
IT’S ALREADY been one hell of a year for people who love television in the world of spies, espionage, and everything in between. Netflix subscribers have been treated to fun binges in the form of The Night Agent and The Diplomat, while those faithful to Paramount+ have been rewarded with the fun return of Kiefer Sutherland in Rabbit Hole. Now, Prime Video gets their chance to take a shot at things with Citadel, a project that’s both massively-ambitious and massively-expensive, with a reported price tag of $300 million for the first season. Will it be worth the money? Believe it…
Ah, the slider: the perfect answer for when you want to eat three burgers but don’t want to deal with any self-loathing and stomachaches to follow. As the average slider has between 200 to 250 calories—based on our cross-referencing of the nutrition info for the little burgers covered here—you can eat a few, sip some soda, enjoy your fries, and only take in a bit more “sustenance” than you’d get with a full-sized burger from most fast-food places. The thing is, there actually aren’t that many fast-food places that serve sliders, so you may have to do a bit of…
Be prepared: You may feel uncomfortable at first, and you can’t guarantee they’ll be down. That said, getting a “no” is much rarer than you might think, in Lioi’s experience: “People are usually pretty open, or are more open than you expect,” he adds. Either way, remember that this whole thing is a process: Just as you wouldn’t expect to lift weights once, or even twice, and see results, investing in friendships requires some effort and patience.3. Try to actually look at each other occasionally. When men bond, it can often take the shape of a side-to-side activity, such as hiking…
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a diverse range of environmental chemicals in human bile in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a rare, chronic liver disease of the bile ducts. The study, published in Exposome, represents a new frontier of research at Mayo Clinic’s Center for Individualized Medicine that explores the exposome, the measure of environmental contributors to disease and health. Most people with primary sclerosing cholangitis also have some type of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, often leading to end-stage liver disease and cancer. Liver transplantation is the only evidence-based treatment for this advanced disease…
Hectic days filled with too many emails or long to-do lists can be a roller coaster for your nervous system. Triggers of stress or anxiety, no matter how subtle, ignite a cascade of signals and hormones in the fight-or-flight response: epinephrine fires, cortisol surges, your heart races, blood glucose spikes. As a result, your body spends precious energy “protecting” you from that email from your boss’s boss instead of being dedicated to, say, creative problem solving.That sweet spot of feeling both calm and motivated throughout the day can be evasive for many of us. Lately, one wearable device has made…
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: My niece is living in my home while she is attending college. I’ve invited her to eat meals with our family, but she typically declines, desiring to eat alone in her room. I’m concerned because she often seems to eat a lot of food at one time, like two sandwiches with two bags of chips or a quart of ice cream. Could this be a sign of an eating disorder? If so, what can I do to help her? ANSWER: Most people eat too much occasionally. They may fill up an extra plate with seconds at a special event,…
