Are Weight Loss Shots the New Diet?

Lili Kazemi May 29, 2025

It started as a side effect—and turned into a global phenomenon. In the development of a drug to treat type 2 diabetes, researchers discovered something unexpected: the active ingredient not only regulated blood sugar but also significantly reduced body weight. Suddenly, a new blockbuster industry was born. The surge began in 2018 with the U.S. debut of Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist by Novo Nordisk. Though not initially approved for weight loss, it quickly gained traction off-label as patients reported dramatic drops in weight. Novo Nordisk capitalized on this demand with Wegovy in 2021, a higher-dose version of semaglutide approved…

The Dangers of Negging—And How to Recognize It Before It Hurts You

Rahul Singh May 3, 2025

You’re on a date or chatting with someone new. Things seem to be going well—until they say something like, “You’d be really pretty if you smiled more,” or, “Wow, I didn’t expect you to be smart and attractive.” At first, you might brush it off. Maybe they’re joking? But something doesn’t feel right. That uncomfortable pause? That’s your instincts picking up on negging. What Is Negging? Negging is a form of emotional manipulation, often disguised as flirtation. It involves making a critical or undermining remark under the guise of a compliment—something that subtly lowers your confidence and makes you second-guess…

The 90s Body Image Trap and Why We’re Still Climbing Out

Lili Kazemi May 3, 2025

There was a time when size 0 wasn’t a tag—it was a goal. In the 1990s, thin wasn’t just in. It was everything. The cultural ideal of beauty was dictated by fashion runways, glossy magazine covers, and the meteoric rise of the supermodel—a phenomenon that redefined what it meant to be desirable, successful, and seen. For an entire generation, the message was clear: to be beautiful, you had to be skinny. Really skinny. The higher the cheekbones, the closer to God.

The Return of the Thigh Gap

Rahul Singh February 7, 2025

In my article on 90s body image, I explore the airy body aspiration of the 90s and early 2000s, as iconic as butterfly clips and low-rise jeans. Back then, passing the “pencil test” (where you could supposedly hold a pencil under your butt to determine your level of perkiness) was considered the ultimate sign of fitness. The thigh gap was another coveted hallmark of beauty and health. But what does it mean today? And more importantly, how can you work towards it safely and healthfully? Before we dive in, let’s clear the air: a thigh gap isn’t the sole indicator…

The Skinny on Oils: Which Ones heal, and Which ones Harm?

Rahul Singh February 6, 2025

Oils are more than just cooking essentials—they’re nutritional powerhouses that support overall health, especially for your nerves, muscles, and joints. Healthy fats from oils contribute to the production of myelin, a fatty sheath that protects nerve fibers and allows efficient communication between your brain and body. These fats also nourish your skin, reduce inflammation, and aid in muscle and joint recovery, making them especially important when you’re healing from injuries. This was powerfully illustrated in the film Lorenzo’s Oil, based on the true story of parents who developed a blend of oils that helped manage their son’s rare neurological condition,…

Lili Kazemi November 24, 2024

Tariffs often dominate the news, but there’s another kind of “tariff” that’s rarely discussed—the calorie tariff. If what you import from your hand to your mouth exceeds what energy you export from moving your body, that is one kind of surplus you do not want.

These cost uplifts can sneak into your daily habits and inflate both your wardrobe budget and your waistline. In this article, we’ll explore three surprising sources of “calorie tariffs” and simple strategies to manage them effectively.
