This salmon poke bowl is surprisingly easy to make at home. Make it your own by adding rice, swapping in different vegetables or adding some mango or pineapple chunks. When we booked a trip to Hawaii several years ago, the first thing I thought was, “Yes! Salmon poke bowl every day!” Out loud, so that I didn’t seem even more food obsessed to my family, I said, “I can’t wait to go boogie boarding and snorkeling!” But in the recesses of my brain, it was “all poke, all the time”.

Yet it’s often difficult to see how factors might play out in real…
TL;DR: Preventative metabolic health is shifting from annual checkups to continuous, personalized monitoring. Wearables, continuous glucose monitors, and behavioral data now let clinicians detect insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction years before a formal diagnosis. This guide covers the science behind that shift: why metabolic flexibility matters, how CGM works beyond diabetes, what personalized nutrition really means, and why stress and sleep are just as important as diet.For decades, preventive healthcare relied heavily on annual checkups, intermittent lab testing, and generalized lifestyle recommendations. Yet chronic metabolic disorders continue to rise globally, with insulin resistance, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes…
For some reason, the internet still loves the “dirty bulk” — that glorious phase where you eat like a raccoon in a dumpster, call it “gains season,” and justify every donut as “fuel.”
The so-called optimism bias may get in the way of a healthy lifestyle. Yes, media messages about nutrition are often confusing and inconsistent, but many Americans know what is considered a healthy diet. I mean, does anyone really think drinking brown carbonated sugar water is good for them? The issue is that they don’t appear to be translating their knowledge into action. Why do people have such difficulty changing their dietary behaviors? While ignorance and confusion may play a part, being motivated to change is likely much more important. Certainly, we are living in a world that pushes us to…

I read Arash Emamzadeh’s recent Psychology Today post “The Deadly Truth About Broken Heart Syndrome in Men” with interest. I am not a man, However, over the July 4 weekend, I was hospitalized in Manhattan with takotsubo cardiomyopathy. On the Wednesday before the holiday weekend, while walking from Grand Central Station to my office, I needed to stop and catch my breath every half-block.
