Bring on the big fat salads! One of my favorite meal prep hacks is to make a big salad once a week and store it in the refrigerator as a “backup” for a quick lunch, a snack, or even as a backup meal in case life gets in the way (it always does). Give it a try next week with these tasty salad recipes!

Are you too young to think about how you’re aging? Probably not.

Starting in our 30s, some key cellular processes begin to slow down, making us feel tired and weak over time. But, a group of scientists spent 15 years developing a way to combat this decline. Meet Mitopure®, by Timeline, a clinically proven way to increase cellular energy, giving our bodies the energy they need to function optimally. The results? Double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without any change in exercise.
