Bring Home The Fall Guy on Digital Today! {Giveaway Contest}

Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, … [Read more...]

Books on Women's Health aid with relationship with food and weight loss

There’s a lot of noise in the media right now about the diet and weight-loss culture. I’m not going to claim that I haven’t fallen down that rabbit hole or have wondered whether I should get that “magic shot” that everyone across America (and not just rich celebrities) seems to be getting. I also don’t think that people should be vilified if they do decide to go that route because if it works for them and they have a medical team or doctor … [Read more...]
