Forget needles and prescriptions — one of the hottest trends in health right now is using nutrition and lifestyle to increase your body’s natural GLP-1 (your own “natural Ozempic”). Your body already produces GLP-1, a powerful appetite-regulating hormone that controls fullness and blood sugar.  This is  the same hormone that weight-loss medications mimic. Your body already makes its own version of Ozempic — GLP-1.Here’s how to increase it naturally with simple foods that make weight loss feel easier. 🍓🥦✨ When you naturally boost GLP-1, it becomes easier to control cravings, support metabolism, and lose weight without injections.  Your ticket? Knowing…

The secret weapon in this arugula salad? Toasted breadcrumbs! They add such a satisfying crunch to the peppery greens that are tossed with a zesty lemon dressing and Parmesan cheese. Arugula salad has absolutely no business being this good. Lemony, peppery, loaded with crunchy toasted panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan. It’s the salad that converts the “I don’t really do salads” crowd to the green side. This is one of those recipes that looks simple but earns a lot of compliments. It can be served as a side with almost any entrée. Or use it as a base for a dinner…

For me (and so many others) it’s one of those supplements that are core to my wellness routine.  More people are now aware…

I terminated transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) with my therapist, Dr. Lev, in December 2016. TFP treatment typically lasst one to three years. We met twice weekly for 11 years. It wasn’t until I started working with Dr. Lev in 2005 that I understood just how ill I was. She was transparent with me and explained to me the Kernberg conceptualization of personality organization. She told me at the beginning of my treatment that I fell into the low borderline organization classification. I don’t know what her prognosis was for me when we started working together. She kept that to herself, but…

If you think school exhibitions are just posters on boards, this one will completely change your mind. Yesterday, I came across something quite unexpected at IDRISSI International School in Bukit Jelutong, an immersive exhibition called “Silk Road Secrets: Trade, Trails, and Treasures.” And honestly, it didn’t feel like a school event at all. It felt more like stepping into a live, functioning marketplace, one that travelled across continents. The entire campus was transformed into a Silk Road journey, stretching from China and India all the way to Central Asia, the Middle East, and even Europe. We’re talking about countries like…

When someone says they want to lose weight, what they really mean is they want to shed excess body fat. However, without a well-designed plan in place, a calorie deficit leads you to lose both fat and valuable muscle tissue. To minimize muscle loss, it’s crucial to incorporate resistance training, quality sleep, and a high-protein diet into your regular routine. Protein plays a multifaceted role in weight management, influencing factors like hunger levels, metabolism, and muscle preservation. While heavy resistance training provides the necessary stimulus, signaling to the body that existing muscle should be retained, a high-protein diet ensures the body has an ample…
