IMO, Thanksgiving is the best holiday of the year… at least as far as food goes. It’s all too common, however, to enjoy your feast only to regret your choices once bloating, fogginess, and discomfort kick in with a vengeance. “Thanksgiving is often seen as a day to overindulge in high-carb foods and sweets—essentially an all-day eating event,” says Kaitlin Hippley, M.Ed, RDN, LD, CDCES, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator in Cleveland, Ohio. “But when we start to view Thanksgiving as simply another meal, it becomes easier to make thoughtful, nourishing choices that leave us feeling satisfied rather…
Wanting to be more social or outgoing sounds deceptively simple: Just talk to more people, say yes to every invite, and strike up friendly conversations with strangers, right? But for introverts, putting yourself out there is easier said than done.The good news is, being introverted isn’t a fixed personality trait. “Most people aren’t full introverts or extroverts,” Amy Morin, LCSW, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, tells SELF. “They’re ambiverts, meaning they can do and enjoy both.” In other words, becoming “more extroverted” doesn’t necessarily mean changing who you are—it’s about going out of…
If you want to track the pace at which you’re aging, HRV, biological age test, sleep, and VO₂ max are OK, but there are 12 deeper metrics worth quantifying over time. And your wearable isn’t tracking them yet. Scientists have mapped out 12 core processes that drive aging, called the 12 Hallmarks of Aging. These may determine how long and how well you live.

Change is an inevitable part of every company’s journey. Whether it’s a shift in culture, direction or organization, every team eventually needs renewal: fresh ideas, new strategies and a refocused mission to keep progress alive. But with renewal often comes one of the most difficult steps in business: layoffs. Sometimes, to grow stronger, a company must streamline by trimming teams, sharpening its core ambitions, focusing on its strengths and retaining those most committed to its vision. When handled well, restructuring can be transformative; but when mishandled, it can derail even the most promising enterprise. It’s one of the most delicate…
After you hit 50, sarcopenia — the natural loss of lean muscle — starts to speed up. Why does this happen? Your levels of “muscle-supporting hormones” — including estrogen and testosterone — decrease, along with your body’s ability to synthesize new proteins, explains Coach Amanda Grimm, certified running coach and PT at We Run and sports and remedial massage therapist. Staying consistent with strength training can make all the difference in the world for rebuilding muscle, but how much daily training do you really need? We spoke with experts who spill the tea. “After 50, your body naturally produces less…
The cast of Dancing With the Stars may make the cha-cha, foxtrot, and samba look effortless on screen, but they put in work behind the scenes.

I’ll be honest—when someone mentions a new “health hack,” I get a little nauseous. I’m not into hacks or quick fixes that promise big results with almost no effort.What I do believe in, though, are simple daily practices that help us build a stronger foundation for health—habits that, over time, move us from just surviving to thriving.That belief has only deepened since I became a mom. My time for self-care shrank dramatically, so I had to learn how to work smarter, not harder. When I find something that’s quick, simple, and actually effective—I share it.This one comes from Dr. Perry…
