“And then I realized that to be seen by others, I first had to be willing to see myself.” ~Anonymous
In a world that teaches us to be visible only when we’re polished, productive, or pleasing, I found something unexpected on the other side of my camera: myself.
But not the filtered version. Not the composed one or the “smiling because I’m fine” version.
I found the person I’d forgotten—the one who had spent years loving, giving, showing up for everyone else but rarely turning any of that tenderness inward.
I didn’t pick up the camera to take pretty pictures. I picked it up because I was afraid I’d disappeared.

Burnout has been on my mind a lot lately, and that’s saying a lot since my burnout brain has trouble focusing these days.
Between working from home while raising two young kids and traveling back and forth across the country to spend time with a sick loved one, I’ve felt stretched in more directions than I thought possible. I know many of you can relate to the constant push to keep going even when your body and mind are begging for rest.
That’s why I’m excited to share a resource that feels both timely for me personally and, I think, deeply valuable for this community.

The development of atherosclerotic plaque in blood vessel walls, narrowing and weakening those vessels, is a universal phenomenon in older people. It is worse in people with generally worse health, as it is driven by inflammation. Greatly reducing cholesterol carried from the liver to the rest of the body via LDL particles in the bloodstream slows the growth of plaque, but growth remains an inevitability on some time frame. Unfortunately the same can be said for reducing inflammation. Large plaques become unstable and rupture, and this kills a quarter of our species via heart attack and stroke.

The goal of blood flow restriction training is to attempt to induce a mildly hypoxic environment in limb muscle tissue that encourages a greater response to physical activity. This approach has been assessed as a way to induce the growth of greater muscle mass in older individuals, alongside the more prevalent approach of resistance training. Here, researchers provide an overview of the literature on the topic.
In recent years, blood flow restriction training (BFRT) has garnered significant attention as an emerging therapeutic intervention. BFRT involves applying external pressure to the proximal limb using compression devices (e.g., tourniquets or inflatable cuffs) during exercise, partially restricting arte…
