you are what you eat and who you eat with

 

Obesity might not be contagious but diet and lifestyle habits sure are. This study explores the role that social influences - like who you eat with, live with or spend most of your time with - have on individual diet and lifestyle patterns. So, if you're married and or co-habitating and want to better understand how your partner's choices impact yours, this might be of interest.

some say that ozempic makes the ‘food noise’ disappear

 

I have a lot of thoughts on weight loss drugs like ozempic but it's too much to get into here and far too generalized to share on an an informational platform like this. This article, however, offers new insight into some of the perceived benefits. One of which is a silencing of what would otherwise be described as an incessant and inescapable food noise. Though fascinating to me, my main worry remains to be: what happens when you stop this drug? Or don't you?

why it's important to face the hard stuff

 

Let's be real, in the moment, the hard stuff absolutely sucks. But when you look back at your life, those hard - and at times unbearable moments - are the ones that push you into the next, better version of yourself. So, while the hard stuff isn't “fun,” it incredibly important. As someone who values growth, I ask for challenges (lmao recently) and sometimes even I need a lil' nudge to lean in. This podcast helped.

Just starting this one but from what I've read and heard, it's relevantly filled with dark, smart humor that intimately comments on millennial wedding culture so bring. it. on.

Truth be told, I have been neglecting pudding. I’ve been neglecting pudding for just about my entire life. I never thought about it; craved it; ordered it; or ate it. Until one night in Guatemala. A few months ago, while leading a 200 hour yoga teacher training, I took a chance on a mango pudding and the rest is history. This is the best pudding you will ever eat and I will die on this hill.

meat eater's best friend

 

I've been putting this purchase off for who knows what reason but finally pulled the trigger a few weeks ago. If you too have been ignoring the need for a proper meat thermometer, this is your moment. This one is so easy and intuitive to use. It comes with an app, which makes it accessible, customizable and nearly impossible to f*ck up. Easiest, smartest, most “adult” purchase you'll make all week.
