Are you trying to limit your intake of genetically modified foods? We’ve got the skinny on 15 products you’ll want to look out for… and some may surprise you. We probably don’t have to school you on GM foods, it’s history and the recent debates about it. But here’s a brief debrief from Shelley Stonebrook for the uninitiated: “ Genetically modified organisms , or GMOs, are any living thing that has had its genetic material altered in some way through human scientific interference. This does not refer to ‘selective breeding,’ such as when certain crops are selectively bred by gardeners over time to withstand heat, for instance, or the process by which different dog breeds were developed over time. Instead, GMOs undergo a form of gene therapy under lab conditions whereby segments of DNA are spliced, rearranged or removed altogether. You may have been eating genetically modified food for years and not ev...

I say it all the time. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not only possible to optimize your health on a plant-based diet ; when done right, I actually recommend it. But where do you get your protein? I field this question constantly. Despite deeply ingrained but misleading conventional wisdom, the truth is that you can survive without meat, eggs and dairy. Believe it or not, you can actually thrive, and never suffer a protein deficiency. Because no matter how active your lifestyle, a well-rounded whole food plant-based diet provides more than enough protein to satisfy the body’s needs without all the artery-clogging saturated fats that dominate the typical American diet. I speak from experience. As a vegan endurance athlete, I place a high tax on my body. And yet my plant-based diet has fueled me for years without any negative impact on building lean muscle mass or recovery. In fact, at age 45 I continue to improve and am as fit, healthy, and strong as I ...

Maybe you’ve heard of these mythical creatures. Or seen them in movies. Perhaps your best friend/sister/neighbor is even dating one. The Perfect Partner. They always clean up after themselves. They plan surprise weekend getaways. They buy sweet, thoughtful gifts and spontaneous bouquets. They say things like “I’m so lucky to be with you” and “You’re gorgeous” and “I like everything about you that makes you who you are.” Meanwhile, your partner can’t seem to pick up wet towels, forgot your birthday, and made a crack about your jeans getting a bit tight. And so you fall down the “If they loved me” spiral. “If he loved me, he’d pick up his towels because he knows I hate cleaning.” “ If he loved me, I would have to remind him that my birthday is coming up. He’d remember because I’m the most important person in his life.” “If she loved me, she’d never...

We’d like to think that most pet parents are kind, responsible people, always looking out for the best interest of their beloved cat or dog. But is that always the case? Far from it! Even the most well-meaning pet parents can do things that harm their Fido or Fifi. Read on for some of the most common bad behaviors of pet parents. And, of course, a disclaimer: all of these behaviors have plenty of caveats, and, ultimately, the decisions you make regarding your pet are best left to you and your veterinarian. 1. You Think Your Pet’s Bad Behavior is All — Or Not at All — Your Fault. Your pets’ behavior is  often an extension  of your behavior. Is your dog wreaking havoc by running around the house?
