Foods That Boost Your Mood, Optimal Sleep & WTF is Looksmaxxing

Can what you eat really shape how you feel day to day? What’s the ideal amount of sleep for long-term health? And how much of our disease risk is influenced by everyday habits?

This week, we break down new research linking flavonoid-rich foods to better mood and long-term wellbeing, the optimal sleep window for supporting blood sugar control and reducing diabetes risk, and a major global study showing how lifestyle factors are shaping breast cancer rates. We also unpack the rise of looksmaxxing — the viral trend redefining self-improvement, appearance and pressure for the next generation.
