It’s so common that people disconnect from their bodies during the holidays. But staying connected doesn’t mean eating perfectly or resisting everything comforting. It means honoring your body’s cues even when life gets busy or emotions run high. Holiday eating is rarely just about food. It’s about memories, traditions, family dynamics, fun, stress, joy, grief, celebration, connection, and social pressure—all happening at once. This guide shares practical mindful-eating strategies to help you navigate the holidays with more ease. Why Holiday Eating Feels So Different The holidays change nearly every variable that impacts how we eat: irregular schedules travel richer foods…

As many as 37% of breast cancer cases may be attributable to exposure to the bovine leukemia virus. The incidence of breast cancer continues to increase worldwide. In the United States, this amounted to a 40% increase in the incidence by the turn of the century. Presently, the main approach to preventing mortality is early detection and treatment. That’s important, but why not focus more on primary prevention—protecting people from risk factors so they don’t develop breast cancer at all? “Overall, it is estimated that 20% of all human cancers have an infectious origin.” Viruses can trigger cancer by turning…

Suicide prevention research has historically focused on individual-level risk factors, including mental health conditions, previous self-harm and/or suicidal behaviour, and substance use. While these remain important, an exclusive focus on them can miss a more complex reality; that some of the strongest indicators of suicide risk are embedded in broader social and structural conditions. A recent population-based cohort study by Nilsson and colleagues (2025), published in The Lancet Public Health, highlights this by exploring the connections between homelessness, psychiatric disorders, and the risks of suicide and self-harm. Although elevated suicide risk among people experiencing homelessness has been well documented (Ayano, Tsegay…

I have a list of medical conditions unusually long for someone my age. Not that I’m young—in February I officially became a senior citizen—but I still think if someone glanced at this list they’d think this person who owned all these diseases was at least 20 years older. Over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday, I added my first rare condition—the one that when I mention it to a doctor, they say, I haven’t heard of that since medical school. This diagnosis is called sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. According to the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, “The sphincter of Oddi…

Our family goes through a lot of salads during the spring and summer months. It’s a great way to use random garden veggies and get more nutrition in. If you’re tired of the typical vinaigrette and ranch dressing, then try this sesame ginger dressing on your next salad. You’ll often see a version of this at Japanese restaurants. Japanese ginger dressing basically has the same ingredients as my recipe, but with added soy sauce or miso.  Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing I’ve eaten plenty of carrots in my salad before, but actually putting them in the salad dressing wasn’t something I…

For many of us, the delicate skin around the eyes is the first place to show signs of ageing – fine lines, crepey texture and sagging that can eventually lead to consideration of eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). But what if the right eye cream could actually help prevent that loose, droopy skin from developing in the first place? Why the eye area is so vulnerable The skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face – up to 10 times thinner, in fact – making it more susceptible to ageing and environmental damage. Over time, this leads to…
