Binge eating disorder is roughly twice as common in PCOS / PMOS, disordered eating shows up regardless of body size, and the standard advice is a known binge trigger. It's in the guidelines, and almost nobody gets told. Here's the overlap, the biology behind the hunger, and why none of this is a discipline problem.

Your stomach starts making acid before food arrives. Most of the traffic on the nerve between your gut and your brain runs upward, not down. And "I'm hungry" isn't a message from your stomach, it's something your brain assembles. A tour of the machinery connecting your brain, digestion, metabolism, and how meditation can change things.

As of May 2026, PCOS is officially PMOS: polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. The reasoning behind the switch says a lot about how this condition has been misunderstood, and about the kind of care it actually deserves.

Extensive bloating, pain, and unpredictable bowels are how your gut reports almost any problem, which is why IBS, IBD, H. pylori, and SIBO get tangled together constantly. Here's what each one actually is, why the testing is messier than the internet admits, where food may help (and when eliminating more foods has stopped being the answer).

Restaurants are advertising seed-oil-free menus, tallow sales are up 275%, and the dietary guidelines changed. The evidence didn't. Here's where the seed oil fear came from, what the research actually shows, what the panic gets right, and the point where avoiding one ingredient turns into something worth worrying about.

You did everything the sleep articles said and still wake up at 3am. Here's the variable they leave out: what and how much you ate. Food and sleep run on the same circuit, and not eating enough is one of the most overlooked sleep wreckers there is. A dietitian on the two-way street, minus the diet culture.

You didn't fail the diet. The diet failed you, and the research has known it for years. Here's why dieting reliably backfires over the long run, what your body is actually doing, and how intuitive eating offers a way out of the cycle that doesn't run on willpower or shame.

You track everything, you fast until noon, and your dashboard says you're crushing it. So why are you always cold, always tired, and quietly losing your drive? The optimize-everything crowd has rebranded under-fueling as discipline. Here's how biohacking recreates RED-S, and the signs the "protocol" is actually breaking you.

If you've spent the past week eyeing your lettuce with suspicion, you're not being dramatic. Headlines about an "explosive diarrhea" parasite will do that to a person. But here's the thing worth holding onto before you throw out your produce drawer: real food safety is a short list of boring habits, and almost nothing that scares people is on it.

Celery juice, $200 test kits, and a supplement for a condition you didn't know you had. The gut health internet is a mess. Here's what fermented foods actually do, what the hype gets wrong, and how to support your gut without cutting out a single food.

Your gut and your brain talk constantly. The conversation actually affects your mood, your digestion, and how you handle stress. Here's what the science says, what's overhyped, and what you can actually do about it.

A self-screener for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, based on validated risk indicators from the LEAF-Q and IOC REDs Clinical Assessment Tool. Takes about three minutes. Not a diagnosis, but a real starting point.

Electrolyte products are now everywhere, and a lot of people are drinking three a day for no clinical reason. Here's what electrolytes actually are, who legitimately needs supplements, and how to tell the difference.

Ever wonder where the calorie number on a label actually comes from? It's a 19th-century estimate, applied to your body, which doesn't read labels. Here's the full picture, and where tracking fits.

Fiber's finally having its time in the spotlight, and for once the internet is mostly right. Here's what fiber actually is, why it matters, how much you need, and where to get it without overhauling your entire pantry.
