I used to think that closure and healing were the same. I was wrong. Finding closure is not an easy thing to come by. Most of the time, finding closure is harder to attain than healing. You can heal and move forward without ever receiving closure from another person. Finding closure does not come from an outside source. It comes from realizing what took place, leaving it there, and choosing not to carry it with you. ? The difference between closure, healing, and forgiveness ? Why finding closure does not require an apology or explanation ? How closure is a…
These days, it seems like everyone is taking a supplement—to look better, think better, sleep better, relax better, poop better, or work out better. And you’re not imagining things: Half of adults and one-third of children in the United States take supplements regularly, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements.Supplements may be ubiquitous, but many experts have serious reservations about their rise. First, most physicians recommend obtaining nutrients directly from food rather than a pill or capsule. Second, supplements aren’t reviewed for safety and effectiveness by the FDA before they hit shelves. Because of all the concerns surrounding supplements, Jeffrey…

For example: 2 eggs contain about 12 grams of protein ¾ cup Greek yogurt contains about 15 grams of protein 1 chicken sausage contains about 12 to 14 grams of protein 1 cup lentil soup contains about 12 grams of protein Those are not considered high-protein meals, which makes hitting your daily protein goals feel overwhelming and nearly impossible. For most women, a good target…
There’s a quiet question that doesn’t get asked often enough: What happens if I do nothing? Not out of apathy. Not out of avoidance. But out of intention. We’ve built a culture that equates action with value. Movement with meaning. Output with identity. And so when something appears broken—whether it’s a system, a situation, or a relationship—our reflex is to intervene. Fix it. Improve it. Optimize it. But that reflex, while useful, is not always wise. Because not everything needs fixing. Some things need space. The Illusion of Necessary Action Humans are toolmakers. Problem solvers. Pattern seekers. It’s part of…
Pull-ups remain the upper-body gold standard. They improve strength, give you wings, and help build bulging biceps to go along with increasing pulling power. But for many lifters, pull-ups have continued being a no-go in their programs. Maybe they find it difficult to get a single rep, or their shoulders or elbows start barking after a few reps. Sound familiar? Pull-ups are great, but if they’re a struggle, let’s take a step back before moving forward. Instead of grinding out half reps and hoping for the best, let’s build the strength, control, and technique that pull-ups demand. That’s where these…
