I still carry that with me.When I walked into that CrossFit gym at 27, I thought I was just looking for a fun way to stay fit. I had no idea it would be the start…

John Cena is winding down one of the greatest WWE careers of all-time, and is set to star in the second series of his highly successful series, Peacemaker, but despite his superstar status, the gifted grappler has explained why comments around his hair caused him to get a hair transplant. WWE fans are loving the few remaining months of John Cena in a wrestling ring, but the “You Can’t See Me Star” has vowed that 2025 will definitely be his last hurrah. “Age plays a factor,” he recently told People magazine.  “I’m not as strong or as fast as I…

We all know that feeling when we hit 40 and suddenly notice changes we didn’t expect. Our bodies start whispering reminders that time is moving forward, and sometimes those whispers feel more like shouts. As a six-time World Champion Jet Ski Racer and health coach who has dedicated my life to helping others optimize their wellness, I’ve learned that the secret to aging gracefully isn’t found in expensive treatments or complicated routines. The best way to offset these undesirable aging trends is to move with intention as often as possible, and it’s amazing what a few minutes of quality movement…

In a vulnerable BBC Sports column, she reflected on the life-changing perspective shift that has helped her manage these tough feelings. “I do think you can accomplish great things at any age—but for your own mental well-being, you have to remind yourself you will fail and make some silly mistakes,” Gauff wrote. “Now I’m trying to tell myself to enjoy my wins a little bit more.” (Honestly, that’s a mindset we should all be adopting.)4. She’s passionate about making a difference on and off the court.Just weeks after the murder of George Floyd in June 2020, Gauff delivered an impassioned…

  Over the past year, a fascinating new trend has emerged in therapy: clients showing up with advice from AI. And not just surface-level tips, some people are having full-blown therapy-like sessions with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Woebot, and Wysa. The question “can AI be your therapist” is becoming increasingly common as people turn to chatbots for venting, coping strategies, and even working through past trauma. It’s a fascinating shift. And a complicated one. Let’s explore how people are asking “can AI be your therapist,” where artificial intelligence helps, where it falls short, and why human-to-human connection still matters.…

In this episode of A Productive Conversation, I sit down with Michael Timms—TEDx speaker, leadership consultant, and author of How Leaders Can Inspire Accountability. This conversation is a part of our ongoing exploration into the habits that drive not just productivity, but the kind of leadership that inspires lasting impact. Michael unpacks how accountability is often misunderstood and misused—weaponized as blame rather than cultivated as ownership. We explore what it means to truly support people to be accountable, the distinction between leadership and management, and the systems thinking leaders must embrace to avoid finger-pointing and foster real results. Six Discussion Points Why “holding…

Walk into any gym on a Monday night and you’ll see it: Young lifters grinding through marathon sessions, punishing themselves with set after set, terrified that taking a day off will erase their progress. For many aspiring bodybuilders, rest is treated like a dirty word — a sign of weakness, laziness, or lack of discipline. But here’s the hard truth: If you’re never taking a day off, you’re not hardcore, you’re just overtrained. And sooner or later, that bill comes due. Trust me, paying it sucks. The Myth: Muscles Are Built in the Gym This misconception has been around forever.…

Protein is an important part of our daily diet because it provides many essential functions for our body such as tissue repair, immune support, bone health, and more. Protein is also a major component for weight loss. “Protein not only keeps you feeling fuller for longer (which naturally reduces overeating) but it also helps preserve and build lean muscle,” says Terry Tateossian, an ISSA Nutritionist and ISSA Personal Trainer, IIN Hormone Specialist, IIN Emotional Eating Coach, and the Founder of THOR: The House of Rose. She explains, “More muscle means a higher resting metabolic rate, so you burn more calories…

You still need sunscreen, we’ll say that up front. But there’s a growing body of research (and herbal wisdom) that says what you eat and drink can help protect your skin, too. While no supplement or smoothie will replace your broad-spectrum SPF, certain nutrients and plant compounds have been shown to support skin health, reduce UV-induced inflammation, and increase the skin’s natural resilience. Think of these foods and herbs as building your skin’s defenses from the inside out. This approach, sometimes referred to as “internal SPF,” leverages antioxidants, polyphenols, and vitamins that help reduce UV-induced inflammation, promote collagen integrity, and…
