Being someone's biggest hype person might actually help them become who they want to be.
Believe in their potential. Encourage their goals. Help them get there.
There's actual research on this. It's called the Michelangelo phenomenon.

Cats may try hard to appear nonchalant, but they are extremely well-attuned to the mood and happiness of their owners. And vice versa. Here’s how it works. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Great to be featured last night on @WCVB along with amazing PolyBio funder & collaborator Steve Pagliuca.

I’ve met a staggering number of adult professionals with long COVID who’ve had to uproot and move in with family just to make ends meet. Others don’t even have that option.
This disease is massively disabling and decimating our workforce. We need solutions, not denial.

Fond childhood memories of these figurines & my grandmother. ☕️🫖❤️
Red Rose Tea is a favourite among many Canadians, especially in Atlantic Canada.
In one of the company's most successful promotions, they offered free Wade Whimsies Figurines in boxes of the tea.
The promotion lasted for almost two decades.
This is the story.

I have told a few pharmacies about this and awaiting callbacks. If you're a healthcare professional or pharmacy, please look into this, too! I hope it's true. If this drug is truly available, it's enormous missed opportunity to help so many.

Think squats fix mobility as you age? Think again. 🛑
New research shows aging rewires your ankles — and most leg workouts miss it.
• Stiffening Trap: Nervous system fires opposing ankle muscles at once (co-contraction) — gas + brake.
• Wasted Effort: More muscle activity, but weaker push-off power.
The Real Fix — Train smarter:
1. Single-leg balance holds (30+ seconds, eyes open then closed) — builds proprioception and timing.
2. Calf raises (slow eccentric lowering) — strengthens tendons and improves push-off.
3. Ankle mobility drills like “ankle ABCs” (drawing the alphabet with your foot) or stair dorsiflexion stretches.
4. Tai Chi or balance-focused moves — excellent for coordination and reducing co-contraction. Ankles trade efficiency for stability earlier than you think. (Lindsay et al., Gait & Posture 2026)
Whic of these ankle fixes are you ading to your routine this week?👇

Starting Sunday, it will no longer be dark when most Americans start their days. Natural morning sunlight should stay year-round—for health, safety, and performance. MAKE STANDARD TIME PERMANENT.
