Internet videos have always been addicting, but short-form content is a whole other beast. Whatever platform you watch them on, these brief clips pull you in and don’t let go, and, before you know it, you’ve mindlessly scrolled through hours of videos, most of which you’ll never remember watching. YouTube Shorts are no exception. But unlike TikTok or Instagram, short-form content is not the main source of videos on the platform.

No chewy ends, no gristly bits—just beautiful, evenly crisp strips with pockets of rendered fat that shatter at first bite, then melt into pure savory richness. It’s the kind of…
As a dietitian who’s spent years writing about healthy habits, I know exactly what works—and what quietly sabotages your health. Yet, for an embarrassingly long time, there was one simple habit I just could not get right: drinking enough water. It felt like I tried everything. Buying a bottle of water with my coffee shop latte? Check. Writing down the number of glasses I drank daily? Did that, too. Still, I was consistently running on caffeine, which is ironic, because I’m also painfully aware of what even mild dehydration can do. Low energy, trouble focusing and false hunger cues are…

But other drugs (Trulicity, Victoza, Saxenda) and lifestyle interventions that have positive effects on glucose and weight…
