Even at a young age I could feel the power of my anger and how it set me apart from others. I observed other sons interacting with their fathers and saw that they loved and supported them. As a result, they had a calm, patient fullness that I admired. My father seemed to enjoy my mistakes as an opportunity to belittle me and aggrandize himself. At twenty-eight, my life broken by alcohol and drugs, I came to the conclusion that I needed help. I decided I didn’t want to destroy myself like the old man did. How could I stay…

Move over protein, there’s a new sheriff in town: Fiber. Gen Z might call it two X’s, but “fibermaxxing” is a concept we nutritionists have been touting for decades: get 30-40 grams of fiber per day (from real, whole foods)! At first, I thought fibermaxxing was going to be a ploy by food and supplement manufacturers to get you to buy their products (no thanks, Fiber One), but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw most of the fibermaxxing videos with big plates of fruits, vegetables, chia pudding, beans, lentils, nuts, foods that I would like to focus on for…
Federal rental assistance distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic did much more than help people stay in their homes. It also improved their mental health. A UC Riverside study published this week in the journal Health matters found that the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program—created by Congress in 2021 to prevent evictions among low-income renters during the pandemic—also improved mental health and increased appropriate use of mental health care. “Using a national data set, we found that housing assistance helped low-income renters—who are among the most vulnerable populations—feel better and receive mental health treatment when needed,” said Wei Kang, an assistant…
There is something about sunlight that recharges you. If you don’t get enough of it, you feel a lot like a potted plant that’s been kept too far from a window – you start to feel like you’re sagging and withering physically and mentally.It’s not just in your head. Sunlight contains a powerful cocktail of health benefits: it lowers blood pressure, fights inflammation, supports optimal testosterone levels, improves insulin sensitivity, boosts immunity, and improves mood and sleep. These benefits don’t just come from sunlight-induced vitamin D production. some of them appear independently of it and are products of sunlight itself.Unfortunately,…

Welcome back to 2026, No Shoes Nutrition family!Author: Megan XipolitosIf January had a smell, it would be a combination of fresh designers, cozy socks… and the faint panic of, “Would I have to reinvent my entire life by Tuesday?” The need to reset and restart is strong and can even cause constipation and overexertion in some.

Here it is five signs that your body is waving…
A new UCLA study reveals that a widely used federal hospital safety metric is fundamentally flawed when applied to emergency stroke care, potentially creating incentives that may discourage hospitals from performing life-saving procedures on the sickest patients. The research, published in Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, examined the Patient Safety Index 04 (PSI 04), a “failure to rescue” measure developed by the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to monitor deaths following treatable complications in surgical patients. The study analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample covering 73,580 stroke thrombectomy procedures between 2016-2019, along with detailed consecutive case reviews…
Here’s the truth: most of us have nervous system dysfunction during sex—and we don’t even realize it. Dysregulation happens when your body gets stuck in a stress response (like fight-or-flight or freeze mode), instead of feeling calm and safe. If you’ve ever been in bed short of breath, your mind is racing with self-doubt, or you’ve felt completely disconnected from your body… you’re not alone. Your nervous system is a critical part of sex – but most of us were never taught how it works. We move around the world in survival mode most of the time, and that includes…
The skin barrier, also known as the stratum corneum, is the outermost layer of the skin. It acts as a protective layer of the skin. It retains moisture and keeps away harmful pollutants and bacteria. Skin care during pregnancy in winter is a priority for many expectant mothers. You face hormonal changes, cooler air, indoor heating and increased dryness. These factors stress the skin barrier and increase sensitivity. You may notice increased redness, dullness or irritation as the humidity drops. Your skin loses moisture more quickly during this time and pregnancy puts more demands on your skin’s natural defenses. Why…
