When temperatures rise, heavy meals tend to lose their appeal. Crunchy salads, fresh fruit and smoothies are suddenly a favorite – but they’re not always enough to keep hunger at bay. The secret to a satisfying summer meal isn’t necessarily adding more protein (although that’s important, too). It builds your plate around fiber. Fiber slows digestion, helps stabilize blood sugar, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and keeps you fuller for longer. The result? More sustained energy, fewer midday snack attacks, and meals that feel light without leaving you hungry an hour later. The easiest way to pack more fiber into…

Adverse socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with adverse health outcomes, and many researchers, clinicians, and risk calculators assume that improvements in SES confer equivalent health benefits across population groups. In the new study, researchers analyzed data from 54,991 adult participants in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination…
Men’s Health Week is often framed around the idea that men need to take better care of themselves. Go to the doctor. Get checked out. Talk more. Stop ignoring the warning signs. All of these are important and matter. But, in my opinion, that is not the whole story. In my work with men, I see something more subtle and more existential. It’s not that men don’t talk. Men are talking more than ever. They talk about stress, exhaustion, relationship breakdown, work pressure, loss of direction, emotional confusion, and a quiet sense that something is missing inside of them.…
