In the world of wellness and self-improvement, the concept of "mind over matter" has taken a tangible form through the practice of manifestation.

This ancient technique involves focusing your thoughts and energy on manifesting the things you want to achieve in life. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where the hashtag #Manifestation has gained billions of views.

While the idea of manifesting material possessions and wealth may be appealing, there is a deeper question at play: Can we use this technique to manifest a healthier version of ourselves?

Let's dive into the research and explore how manifestation may help us boost our health and well-being.

Elmo. As a therapist.

We certainly didn't have that on our 2024 BINGO card.

Elmo, the much-loved Sesame Street character, unintentionally became a therapist when he asked his social media followers how they felt. This simple question prompted an enormous response, with thousands of people sharing their emotional struggles and emphasizing the collective need for coping mechanisms in the midst of life's chaos.

The response was so overwhelming that the Sesame Street account had to provide mental health resources to assist those who were struggling with emotional issues.

Elmo's recent social media post is a poignant reminder of the importance of mental health and a call to action to check in on loved ones and colleagues. Inspired by Elmo's unexpected role, we've compiled some of our favorite ways to feel better instantly.

Do you remember what you ate yesterday? Were your food choices healthy? Did you happen to consume any foods containing polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs)? If you are eating in America, you likely consumed PUFAs at some point in your day.

Seed oils have been getting a lot of attention lately, being praised as the champions of heart-healthy cooking. However, like low-fat yogurts that contain hidden sugars, these oils also have a less glamorous side. They contain high amounts of PUFAs, which may sound like a good thing, but there's a catch.

PUFAs are like the fickle friends of the fatty acid world. They are sensitive and tend to cause drama. When they mix with omega-6 fatty acids, they can cause inflammation and a host of health issues.

Below, we spill the beans (or should we say seeds?!) on everything you need to know about seed oils. From their high-maintenance nature to their potential to cause health problems, we're serving up the essential info.

In an era where the term "work-life balance" often garners skeptical chuckles rather than nods of agreement, forward-thinking companies are carving out a new path in employee wellness and engagement. They are not just offering free gym memberships or throwing some healthy snacks in the break room and calling it a day. Instead, they're developing something far more impactful: a shared purpose.

At the heart of this revolution is the understanding that employees are not just cogs in a corporate machine but individuals seeking meaning and connection in their work. Companies leading the charge recognize that a paycheck, while necessary, doesn't quite quench the thirst for purpose.
