Raise your hand if you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram and thought, “Wow, she’s so confident. I wish I didn’t feel so (insert insecure thought here).”Here’s the big, liberating truth: The most confident women you know? They get self-conscious, too. Seriously!For too long, the fitness and wellness world has sold us a lie that true confidence—that powerful, unshakable belief in yourself—means you’re never bothered by self-doubt, gym anxiety, or a moment of feeling awkward. This outdated mindset holds you hostage, forcing you to chase an impossible standard of perfection.But what if I told you that you could feel those fluttery nerves…
Men’s Open division competitor Eric Janicki earned his IFBB Pro Card in May 2025, and is now on the hunt for an Olympia qualification. To get himself into the mix, the big man has been varying his volume to find his sweet spot when working his chest and triceps, while protecting himself from injury by using machines when going super-heavy. “This felt like this was the perfect volume,” explained Janicki following an intense machine and cable session, via Instagram. “Every set close to failure, every rep designed to maximize mechanical tension while remaining joint protective.” Here’s how to get yourself…

Below, Rowe outlines a 10-minute standing workout that reverses aging better than an hour of cardio after 50. Why is strength training after 50 especially important? “Strength training [in this stage of life] not only preserves muscle mass, bone density,…
Staying consistent with your hair care routine is no easy feat. It can take a ton of effort and time in your daily routine, not to mention it can sometimes take months to even finally see noticeable results. That’s why I like to stick to hair growth serums to stay on track with maintaining a healthy head of hair. They’re incredibly easy to use (taking literal seconds) and allows you to directly target thinning areas like a receding hairline or widening part. When it comes to finding the right product that won’t go over budget, a dermatologist told me to…

It’s more than a week since Derek Lunsford was crowned Mr. Olympia. And as things have settled since bodybuilding’s biggest event, there’s still plenty to talk about. I must say that this year, as a spectacle, the event was reminiscent of a real, live, old-school bodybuilding show. Gone were the distractions of smoke, the enormous video wall, and the rock concert lighting. As if our pleas were heard, during prejudging the background was predominantly dark—not quite black, but at times close. No annoying detail-blurring smoke. The lighting, although not perfect, was at least not moving. And the production was just…

Think of your favorite egg-related breakfast: an omelet, eggs Benedict, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, the list goes on. Now think of how many eggs you crack in the pan to make your morning meal.Is it two? We wouldn’t be surprised if it was. For many of us, two eggs feels like the Goldilocks number—just right. Maybe one egg won’t fill you up, and three feels a bit “excessive.” But nutrition scientists would encourage you to think again.If you rely on two eggs in the morning for your protein fix, you likely aren’t getting enough of the macronutrient, according to Keri…
For celebrated culinary expert and Top Chef judge Gail Simmons, the dinner table has never been just about food. Long before she became known for championing chefs and elevating meals on screen, the table was where her own family gathered to process life, the beautiful, the complicated, and the unspoken. It was a place to sit together, even when finding the right words was not easy. Gail’s understanding of that sacred space deepened as a teenager, when her older brother Alan was diagnosed with schizophrenia, an often misunderstood and deeply stigmatized mental illness. In the midst of uncertainty, family meals…
