While wanting to improve health is great, sometimes what people perceive as healthy behavior is actually harmful behavior rationalized as being for health.

Much of what people call “intermittent fasting” may just be a reshuffled version of their old habits.

Health and fitness spaces have always been political. What’s new is the acceleration of old patterns—purity, distrust, and “clean living”—which are now louder and more profitable through social media. If we truly care about health as carework, not content or clout, we must call out the forces shaping wellness culture.

You've probably heard the buzz about Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. These medications were first made for diabetes, but higher doses are now FDA-approved for weight loss. They work by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps you feel full sooner, stay full longer, and quiet that constant "food noise" in your head.

I launched a combat sports gear review channel to educate people on equipment, help them spot deals, and avoid duds.

Recently had Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah for a 2-day martial arts and movement intensive.

A female personal training client told me I was the first person she studied martial arts with who not only talked about the hips but also showed how the hips can move.

At All Out Effort, we use improv games and role-playing activities to help clients become better movers.
