GUT CHECK!
Men's Health US|March 2023
There are so many new diets that say they'll optimize the bacteria in your digestive system to fight inflammation, boost immunity, and treat mood disorders. But wait, really?

GUT CHECK!

► WHAT THEY ARE 

There are plenty of gut-health plans (Super Gut and The Mind-Gut Connection are two big diet books), but most build off one idea: There are 100 trillion good and bad bacteria, known as your microbiome, in your Gl system. Feed the good ones stuff they like and they'll repay you by aiding in disease prevention and general good health. Feed the bad ones and...the opposite might happen.

Can Marvel Regain its Superpowers? - Critical savaging. Box-office meh-ness. Cultural irrelevance. How did the MCU lose its dominance over all screens, and what will it take to restore it?

Can Marvel Regain its Superpowers? - Critical savaging. Box-office meh-ness. Cultural irrelevance. How did the MCU lose its dominance over all screens, and what will it take to restore it?

For the next 11 years and 20-plus films, Marvel Studios sat atop Odin's High Seat.Its movies grossed billions upon billions of dollars, their casts were stacked with Hollywood legends, and people like me (and probably you, too) were invested. When Spider-Man: Far from Home concluded what Marvel Studios called The Infinity Saga-the overarching story of its first 23 movies-it did so with the promise that there was so much more to come.Then an evil worse than Thanos himself besieged the planet: Covid-19 blacked out theaters and blocked MCU releases for all of 2020. When Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings emerged to lead the Phase Four charge in 2021, things were, somehow, off. The epicness of it all was... missing. In what was supposed to be a pause before the next classic blockbuster marathon, Marvel seemed winded instead.

Tren Nation - How an obscure bovine steroid became gym Gen Z's favorite social-media muscle flex.

Tren Nation - How an obscure bovine steroid became gym Gen Z's favorite social-media muscle flex.

Not anabolic steroids. Not testosterone. Not creatine or multivitamins or a high-protein diet. No, Frank and Jesse (who both spoke on condition of anonymity because trenbolone is deemed illegal) immediately jump to trenbolone, which has quickly developed a rep for increasing muscularity and decreasing body fat all at once. Among bodybuilders it's known as the god of all steroids for its potency. To teens and young men, it's simply tren, a ticket to the prototypical social-media-friendly physique. Why? Frank, who's now 18, explains tren's growing popularity with all the confidence and expertise of someone who Googled tren once (mostly to see how jacked it made cows), watched hundreds of hours of tren content on Tik Tok, and made a ton of tren jokes. If the only thing you care about is putting on muscle, he says, it really does seem like tren is the thing to take.

Hearing loss isn't just a thing that happens to your parents. Nearly one in five people in their 20s show signs of it already. And it puts your brain and well-being in danger, too. Luckily, new tech can help. Listen up. An estimated 15 percent of American adults-that's about 38 million peoplehave some level of hearing loss, according to the CDC. Research increasingly suggests that untreated hearing loss can lead to other significant health issues, including depression and Alzheimer's disease.
