What we do in our own yards has a bigger impact than most of us realize. The way we care for our lawns may seem routine, but it quietly shapes the health of everything around us, from soil and water to birds and pollinators. This spring, we take a closer look at how small, thoughtful shifts can create landscapes that are not only beautiful, but far more sustainable.
Supporting healthy cholesterol doesn’t have to be complicated, it can start with something as simple as what’s on your plate. Beans, often overlooked, are naturally rich in soluble fiber that helps support healthy cholesterol levels over time. In this piece, we share three simple recipes that turn beans into something fresh and flavorful, and easy to prepare, whether you’re putting together a quick lunch or a light dinner.
Cholesterol levels often change during a woman’s midlife, sometimes in ways that feel sudden and unexplained. While it’s easy to attribute this shift solely to menopause, the science points to something more complex. Hormonal changes play a role, but so do shifts in metabolism, body composition, and lipid processing. This piece looks at what’s actually happening, what the research supports, and why a more nuanced understanding matters.
We tend to think of pain as something to manage once it becomes unavoidable. But what if the more important work happens earlier, before the injury, before the breakdown, before the body forces us to stop? This is a personal account of what changed when I stopped reacting to pain and started paying attention to the patterns that caused it.
Weight-loss medications have moved rapidly from the margins of medicine into everyday conversation. Once reserved primarily for diabetes management, GLP-1 medications are now reshaping how we talk about health, bodies, and behavior. Their benefits are real and well-documented, but so are the questions they raise. As use expands, it is worth pausing to look carefully at what these medications do well, where their limitations lie, and what science has yet to fully understand
When I lived in Sicily, I went to the “supermercato” only once a month. I would stock up on dry goods to provide the foundation for delicious meals for weeks. Vegetables and fruit were obtained by frequent visits to local vendors or by hand-picking from the gardens where I lived. These days, I go to the grocery store way more often, but I still keep a pantry full of delicious, healthy ingredients that can be the building blocks for quick,easy, satisfying meals and tasty snacks.

Recent discussions around pesticide regulations are bringing renewed attention to a simple but powerful reality: our daily exposure adds up. In this issue, Clare Broderick breaks down what the latest research actually shows, why short-term dietary changes can significantly reduce pesticide load, and what practical steps you can take—without fear or perfectionism—to protect your health.

Modern fitness culture celebrates speed, effort, and visible transformation. Slow movement rarely makes the highlight reel. Yet across history, some of the longest living, most resilient cultures practiced movement that was deliberate, controlled, and calm. They trained not to burn out the body, but to preserve it. That perspective feels newly relevant in a modern, overstimulated world, and it helps explain the renewed interest in practices like Tai Chi and Qigong.
February can feel long, cold, and heavy, especially this year. When routines are disrupted, the weather turns unpredictable, and the days feel harder than usual, we often return to what’s familiar: simple food, warm kitchens, and recipes that make us feel cared for. This month's feature shares a lentil soup, a family favorite and a reminder that comfort often starts in the kitchen.
