Nicholas Galitzine Knows How to Wear a Suit When You’re Yoked

Nicholas Galitzine Knows How to Wear a Suit When You’re Yoked

Published by Jenni Sidey

Nicholas Galitzine has the power—the power suits to level up his red carpet looks, that is. The Masters of the Universe actor bulked up (reportedly aided by consuming 5,000 calories a day) for his upcoming role as He-Man, and he hasn’t ditched the muscle mass just yet. Playing the ’80s superhero known as Prince Adam, who transforms into the scantily clad He-Man once he wields the Sword of Power, Galitzine ditched the lithe physique that helped him ascend to fame in Red, White, and Royal Blue to play the comic-book hunk with the body of a Pumping Iron bodybuilder. And now that it’s time to promote the film, the British actor’s stacked stature hasn’t prevented him from wearing a nice suit. If anything, it enhances the experience. In an appearance on The Tonight Show this week, Galitzine looked comfortable in a grey double-breasted suit with a white spread-collar shirt and a green geometric tie, swapping out dress shoes for slick leather boots. Working with stylist Ben Schofield (whose roster also includes fellow English heartthrobs Callum …

Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication. Sometimes sorting through the bullshit can be tricky when it comes to health and wellness. There are so many products out there designed to ‘level up’ your health that figuring out the essentials is almost mind-boggling. But if there’s one thing you know for a fact you need to survive, it’s hydration. While the NHS recommends drinking six to eight glasses of water a day, sometimes water simply doesn’t cut it. There are moments during the heat or when you’re getting sick where it permanently feels like your mouth is dry, and you can’t seem to focus or boost your energy. Over the last couple of years, electrolytes have made their way into pharmacies …

A molecular biologist explains the ultimate body hack for daily anxiety

Published by Daniella Wilson

We ought to listen to our bodies more. Yet, we rarely make time for this, even though it is completely fundamental to our well-being. But being in tune with our bodies, not just our brains, is exactly what Dr Estanislao Bachrach, who holds a PhD in molecular biology specialising in neuroscience, encourages us to do.  The scientist and author invites us to reconnect with ourselves and truly get to know our body, because it’s what actually provides the brain with vital information for everything it decides to do, feel and think.  The aim? To use the body as a tool for self-knowledge to achieve a major goal: strengthening our sensory intelligence to help us with anxiety, decision-making and even empathising with people we don’t like.  We caught up with the expert to find out more in an in-depth Q&A. You highlight a fascinating idea: ‘Let your body be your brain’. Why should we make this our goal? Well, it’s not so much a goal we must set ourselves. My job is simply to share a …

Emotional Wellness in the Age of TikTok

Published by Jenni Sidey

Your inbox likely contains various emails this month on mental health awareness. How do you distinguish between useful and unhelpful information? Not everything labeled “helpful advice” truly offers value. To understand what it means to be emotionally well-balanced under pressure, we need a clear framework that goes beyond superficial tips. Journalists interested in the use of TikTok to dispense mental health advice recently asked a panel of mental health experts about the advice that was provided on the platform. The experts concluded that over half of the information on TikTok about mental health was incorrect. If that were not concerning enough, research has demonstrated that anyone regularly using TikTok will be at an increased risk of experiencing depression and anxiety, especially those under the age of 24. Signs of Trouble Society has made tremendous advances in technology, science, and health care over the past century. At the same time, very little progress has been made in the levels of emotional wellness that people experience. Considering the increased rates of suicide, depression, anxiety, and overdose over …
