We’ve been led for so long to believe that gold is in the science. It’s in the DNA of peptides, with their baffling names; in precious serums, that cost as much as jewellery; in light-reacting moisture. But not all promising skincare ingredients are cutting-edge, with one of the most hyped-up trends of recent times looking hilariously basic. Beef tallow, stripped of the cattle, whipped into a balm and smothered onto the skin from grandmother’s pantries to influencer pop-ups, it’s divided
Most people don’t need another diet. They need habits that will stand the test of the blur of busy weeks, restaurants and the odd birthday cake. Food matters for everything we care about: energy, sleep, mood, weight, and our lifetime risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The good news is that the most well-supported habits aren’t fancy or earth-shattering. They are small, easy to replicate and adaptable. The best place to start is right there on the plate.

Key Highlights: Sleep and hormones are not separate issues they are the same system, just looking at it from a different perspective. Long-term sleep disturbance by itself can cause adrenal cortisol imbalance, lipolytic hormone suppression, and reproductive hormone suppression. As this science continues to enter the mainstream, it is changing the reality of what WE think of as “wellness”. For many, sleep medicine and endocrinology ran in parallel. Whenever a patient was suffering from fatigue, he would go through to
A strange irony of modern nutrition is this. We are living in an age of plenty. Supermarkets bulging with produce gathered from the four corners of the world. Whole streets lined with restaurants. Food- delivery pages promising to deliver food to within minutes. Though deficiency diseases once the scourge of sailors and peasants still survive today, but in a different guise. Deficiencies today do not manifest themselves quite so obviously, as scurvy and rickets. They often do not show themselves
And within the fitness world, there is a strange myth that begins at the moment you touch the barbell. No, discipline begins hours earlier for even the smartest program and the best coaches by the meal you eat/don’t choose, by the sleep you get/deny, by the bag you pack the night before. The gym/track/field simply exposes your workweeks of preparation. Show up unprepared and even the finest planned program will devolve into waste motion; show up prepared and mediocrity becomes
By nearly every measure, women are more proactive about their health than men. They go to the doctor more often, are more likely to get preventive care and are more willing to talk frankly about health issues. And yet, despite all that relative conscientiousness, there are big gaps between the screenings women need and the screenings they get. The reality is that busy lives, competing demands, financial barriers, cultural stigma and the very human trait of putting others’ needs before
A type 2, the fastest growing epidemic of the century, now sits at the epicenter of a global health crisis because of its sheer size, its unstoppable rise, and its ability to invisibly drive other, more visible health conditions. Current global estimates suggest 589 million adults (20-79 years of age, about one in nine) are living with the disease today, which is expected to increase to 853 million by 2050 (one in eight). Growth is not just around the corner;
Vitamin B12 has a unique place for nutrition. The body needs only a very minute amount of this vitamin, in micrograms, yet without it severe, far-reaching, and in some cases irreversible consequences will result. Asking why deficiency in B12 is so dangerous can be considered equivalent asking why deficiency in B12 is so dangerous, because actually the vitamin itself, either consumed from food or from supplements, has no substantial toxicity even if one takes a dose higher than the normal
People generally see exercise with sets, reps, and rests, yet overlook the warm-up completely. Most people would be very precise when planning their exercise program, including all those details about weight time set, and rep. And they still see a few minutes of stretching before they get to work as just an afterthought. This but is a big mistake. A warm-up is not a preparation for the session, it is a session in itself, because it sets the stage on
