The Protein Craze:
Everywhere you look these days—whether you’re scrolling through Instagram or weaving your way through Woolies or Coles—protein is stealing the spotlight. From breakfast cereals to snack bars, there’s hardly a shelf untouched by bold promises of “extra protein.” It’s become such a talking point that even a casual chat at the gym or a weekend barbie can quickly turn into a discussion about the latest high-protein find.

Concussion Party
Forgive me for everything I am about to write. I have a concussion. Truly, genuinely. I fell, rather spectacularly, down a medieval staircase. It wasn’t actually the clumsiest thing I did that day, but regardless, it had an equally spectacular impact, literally, on the back of my head. It was quite a shock when the headache hadn't faded 3 days later, and my wit with friends seemed to be lagging by a full minute delay.

Longevity Fitness: The Exercise Trends Adding Years to Your Life (Not Just Muscles)
For years, fitness trends were dominated by one thing: aesthetics. Six-pack abs, high-intensity sweat sessions, 30-day transformations. But something unexpected is happening in 2025 — people are ditching “look fit” culture and replacing it with “live long” training.

Cardioversion
Yesterday, I went into the day surgery wing of the hospital to have a cardioversion. All the staff and volunteers were great! My husband was with me throughout, except for the 20 minutes it took for the procedure and to wake up from the anesthesia.

Science Was Incorrect About Fasting: Five Surprising Truths Supported by Recent Research
For decades, snack food ads have drilled a single message into our collective consciousness: "You're not you when you're hungry." We've been taught to fear the "hangry" brain fog, believing that skipping even a single meal will leave us irritable, distracted, and unproductive. Constant fueling, we're told, is the secret to staying sharp.

Stop Telling Me to Meditate!
Open any social media feed and you’ll be inundated with the gospel of wellness culture: juice cleanses, gratitude journals, green smoothies, and the mantra that "you can manifest a cure." This narrative promotes a simplistic view of health defined by optimization, quick fixes, and individual effort.

Why Did I Always Feel Like This?. Content Warning.
Trigger warning: the following story will discuss weight and other weight-related topics Growing up in Texas, my childhood, while parts of it were great, the household was both toxic and abusive. My parents, whom I've been estranged from for nearly 15 years, were verbally and physically abusive towards me. They would ridicule and belittle me about everything: they way that I looked, talked, and anything that they saw about me as weird. I'm the oldest of three children (younger brother and sister) and I always was the target of my parents' wrath. I was a skinny kid, and they would make horrible comments about my body, saying things like I needed to eat. For context, I was in high school and weighed almost 110 pounds. Sure, it's not a healthy weight for a teenage boy. However, at the same time, it's not nice to body shame your own child. No matter what I ate, I was still slim. The constant critique of my body from my parents stuck with me and my self-esteem drastically decreased, especially when I entered adulthood.
