No. 01 — Good Girls By Hadley Freeman

In a combination of personal experience and deep reporting, writer Hadley Freeman confronts anorexia, the least understood mental illness. Sharing her personal experiences, including her shame, fear, loneliness and rage, Freeman tells an honest and hopeful story of overcoming disordered eating.

No. 02 — Biohacking 

There’s no turning back the clock, but there are certainly lifestyle choices that can keep you healthier, longer. And with ongoing research into epigenetics, the study of how your behaviours and environment can affect the way your genes work, we’re all about making smart choices in the short term to benefit ourselves in the long run.

When it comes to health, knowledge is power.
