Don’t let the name fool you: Yes, Robb Wolf’s Paleo Solution is heavy on the popular diet,
but rather than preaching about all things primal all the time, the
blog also offers up a “let’s look at the facts” take on recent health
headlines (like red meat causing cancer) plus advice for things like not letting stress ruin your performance and achieving your goals.
Quit dieting and start cultivating healthy habits you
actually enjoy, Darya Rose says. The neuroscientist and Summer Tomato
blogger knows chronic dieting sucks and provides actionable takeaways to help you find a “healthstyle” (a term we’re a bit sad we didn’t come up with first). We love her realistic take on weight loss, inspiring success stories, and weekly roundups of the latest nutrition news too.
Happiness and Wellness
In a world filled with constant distractions (we know the
willpower required to not check Facebook right now), Leo Babauta has
written the book
on what it means do less and be more present. But you don’t have to run
out to the nearest bookstore, you can check out Babuata’s musings on
his site, Zen Habits. In just a few years, Zen Habits has become the
go-to blog on healthy habits and minimalism with popular posts on the savor discipline and the simple way to find your real source of contentment.
Lots of focus is spent on exercising our bodies, but what
about our minds? That’s where Mentality WOD comes in. Taking a cue from
CrossFit’s workout of the day, this site publishes quick and actionable workouts to improve your thoughts, feelings, and attitudes. Want to be more confident?
List 10 reasons that you will achieve the goals you’ve set, ask friends
to add to the list, and then read the list every day. The blog’s
founder, Dawn Fletcher, is a firm believer that improved mentality will
lead to better performance, whether it be in the workplace or on the
playing field.
Some of us need a cup of coffee to get our day started. For
others, a few asanas do the trick. Daily Cup of Yoga is for those who
prefer the latter. It’s a blog written by casual yogis without the
typical yoga-heavy jargon and teachings. Instead, the posts touch on
topics like mastering meditation and showing gratitude in your everyday life.
Sometimes life can feel like a never-ending struggle bus, from problems at work, with our friends, and even our family.
Tiny Buddha is a blog (and a vibrant social community) where bloggers
share helpful advice to deal with life’s most difficult situations. But
Tiny Buddha doesn’t just focus on those downer topics. It also
celebrates happiness, love, and mindfulness (and how you can achieve those things in your life).
TED Talks are inspiring, motivating, and above all else,
teach us new things. The TED Blog does the same thing. In addition to
sharing talks that are guaranteed to keep you glued to the screen (like these ones that are racier than 50 Shades of Grey), the blog also includes posts designed to make you smarter and better informed, from a comprehensive reading list to apps that make life so much easier.
On the surface, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus
had it all: good jobs, big homes, tons of gadgets, and enough
discretionary income to always have a good time. But as they approached
their 30th birthdays, they realized their 70-hour work week left them
short on one important thing: room. We’re not talking about room in the
literal sense, but rather room for growth, contentment, and chasing passions. So they took a 21-day journey
toward minimalism and blogged about it. They attracted such a following
that they’ve been blogging (and spreading the minimalist gospel) ever
since.
Health
Yoni Freedhoff, M.D., director of the Bariatric Medical
Institute, doesn’t let anything slide on Weighty Matters. He’s called
out the Better Food for All campaign for giving shady tips, the media for misinterpreting a recent chocolate milk study, and one blogger for his take on soda taxes. But he’s not all about revealing the truth about everything related to obesity and healthy eating. He also shares weekly funny videos and has even given Coca-Cola kudos.
This new blog from the people at MyFitnessPal
combines two of our favorite things: food and fitness. The blog is
another way to grow the already impressively engaged MyFitnessPal
community, by sharing delicious healthy meals (hello, pork and spinach pot stickers) and easy and effective exercises (this no-equipment living room workout has our name all over it). Our favorite posts are the video workouts, which include tons of helpful tips to make sure you’re doing every move correctly.
It’s not surprising that a game-changing fitness company
like Precision Nutrition would put together such a top-notch blog. We’re
regularly blown away by the blog’s infographics that answer questions
we all ask, like “Should you exercise when sick?” and “How do you fix a broken diet?”
Most posts are written by John Berardi, Ph.D., one of the company’s
co-founders, and are chock-full of straight-talking, actionable advice.
This doctor-turned-health-editor flexes some serious writing muscle (and sometimes even his biceps—gotta give the people what they want) over at The Atlantic.
In a world where health stories are full of medical jargon, Hamblin
writes in a way that non-experts can understand. Basically, when we’re
getting confused about the latest health trends (What’s up with herbal supplements? Why are there so many options for cold medicine?), he’s the person we turn to. And we love that no topic seems to be too daunting for him to cover, from the Food Babe to female orgasms.
We live in a digital age where information gets thrown at
you from every angle—by everything. Science of Us feels you, which is
why it sticks to short health articles (we’re talking only a few
paragraphs) with information that’s as concise as it gets. If you’re
looking for a go-to place that sticks to the good stuff and gives it to
you fast, this is the spot. And it’s written in the fun, witty New York magazine tone we’ve always loved, meaning you’ll actually want to read every piece, from our conception of the sexes to why you’re better at karaoke than you think. How many health sites can say that?
Chris Kresser has been studying and teaching alternative
medicine for more than 15 years. He’s also the author of bestselling
novel Your Personal Paleo Code and is often cited in notable publications like The Atlantic
and NPR. So just what is it that makes Kresser so freakin’ awesome? We
love that he frequently cites published studies (though he also discusses their flaws) and is all about empowering you to make healthier choices—ones that work for you (and your budget). He also creates amazing Paleo-friendly recipes like taro and bacon hash.
Sometimes the best recipes are the stupid-easy ones.
And sometimes the best advice comes in the form of hard-hitting truth
bombs instead of sugarcoated tidbits that don’t truly get you motivated.
If those thoughts resonate with you, then Steph Gaudreau
at Stupid Easy Paleo is the gal to provide a much-needed healthy kick
in the butt. From nutritious, Paleo-friendly recipes (we’re obsessed
with her plantain protein pancakes) to workout advice to food photography tips,
she’s all about hacking your way to a healthy lifestyle—and doesn’t
leave room for excuses. Though she’s not an expert in every area she
writes about, her nutrition and science backgrounds are prevalent in all
of her articles. Her philosophy may be stupid-easy, but she’s anything
but stupid.
