GLP-1s are finally silencing food noise for some binge eaters, and fueling disordered eating in others Chris Owens says he knew what healthy eating looked like in theory, but it felt like food noise had “hijacked” his brain. “I wasn’t free to make those choices,” he explains. “I don’t know that the food noise was ever quiet enough to where I could actually experience real physical hunger. I just always wanted food.” Owens, now 52, began regularly bingeing in 2008; by 2012, he was bingeing ev...

US Supreme Court’s uneven rulings in election lead-up causing chaos, experts say When the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas’ gerrymandered congressional map to take effect in December, its conservative majority wrote that a lower court had “improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign” when it blocked the map more than three months before the election.

Americans are proactive homeowners, but this country beats them in DIY home repairs There is always something: a leaky faucet, chipping paint, gutters full of leaves or a room that no longer works the way it used to.
