Dry January has evolved. It’s no longer just a “detox month” — it’s become a practical experiment in how alcohol impacts sleep, metabolism, mood, and recovery.

In Star Magazine, Dr. Zaid Fadul weighed in on why even a short break from alcohol can function as a metabolic reset after the holidays. Many people notice changes fast: better sleep within days, steadier mood and energy, fewer headaches, and reduced bloating. He also notes that a month without alcohol may support blood sugar control, help lower triglycerides, and reduce inflammation.

Just as important: Dr. Fadul cautions that not all “Dry January” swaps are equal — sugar-heavy mocktails can cancel out the benefits, and anyone who drinks heavily should not stop abruptly without medical guidance.

This is the kind of consumer health education we prioritize: clear, evidence-informed, and practical enough to use immediately.

When you’re sick, “comfort food” isn’t always comforting.

In a recent Fox News feature, Dr. Michael Ednie, MD, RD, Chief Medical Officer of Bespoke Concierge MD, shares why common go-tos like spicy foods, alcohol, fried foods, and sugary drinks can slow recovery — and what to choose instead to support immune function and gut health during illness.

Clear, practical guidance for cold and flu season — rooted in medicine, nutrition, and real-world care.

Somewhere along the way, protein stopped being a nutrient and became a personality trait.

The latest national headline on America’s protein obsession gets at something I hear constantly: women chasing huge protein targets, adding powders to everything… and then wondering why they feel bloated, tired, or overwhelmed.

What I love about this piece is the nuance — especially Dr. Michael Ednie’s reminder that there’s a big difference between whole-food protein and highly processed protein products. Most healthy adults are already meeting their needs through normal eating, and the push to overconsume can actually make digestion, energy, and overall metabolic health worse.

His message is simple:
✔️ Prioritize real food
✔️ Balance protein with fiber and movement
✔️ You don’t need extreme numbers to be healthy

A little sanity in a very loud wellness space.

When a $29.95 cup turns into a $50,000 bidding war… it’s not just about a teddy-bear tumbler. 🐻☕️

The Starbucks “Bearista” frenzy is a masterclass in how design, story, and psychology collide:
✨ Scarcity that feels like status
✨ The “little treat” that makes hard days more bearable
✨ The mini hero’s journey of hunting something rare and sharing the win

In coverage of the Bearista chaos, our client Ravi Sawhney, founder of , digs into why people will line up, and resell a cup for hundreds (even tens of thousands) of dollars: we’re not just buying products — we’re buying meaning and a momentary feeling of being special.

For brands, this is the real takeaway: when you understand human behavior at this level, a cup is never just a cup. It becomes a tiny, portable story.

We “gained” an hour, yet many of us woke up foggy, hungry at the wrong times, and just a little off. That isn’t lack of willpower—it’s your body clock negotiating new light, hormones, and routine.

Fast Company recently spoke with Dr. Zaid Fadul, chief executive officer at Bespoke Concierge MD, about how shorter evenings create social jet lag and what actually helps you reset—morning light, steady wake times, earlier meals, and smarter screen and workout timing.

This is the kind of coverage we love: science made practical, in service of how people really live.

Last week’s heavy-metals story had every gym bag in America side-eyeing its protein tub. Instead of adding to the noise, we helped GQ unpack the nuance with a voice built for moments like this: board-certified emergency physician & medical toxicologist Dr. Michael Policastro.

This is why we do what we do at Elevated PR—connect rigorous journalism with credible expertise so people can make better choices. Dr. P walked readers through what the numbers actually mean, why plant vs. animal proteins can differ, who should be extra cautious, and practical ways to reduce exposure (think third-party testing and rotating sources). Less fear, more facts.

Grateful to and for the thoughtful reporting—and proud of Dr. Policastro for meeting the moment with calm, context, and actionable guidance.

“Mitochondria makeover” is trending—but what actually matters?

In her latest feature, Dr. Jenelle Kim explains urolithin A in plain terms: it’s a postbiotic (made from foods like pomegranates, walnuts, berries) that helps the body clear damaged mitochondria so healthier ones can power your cells. That’s the mechanism behind feeling steadier energy and stronger recovery.

Her guidance:
• Dose used in clinical studies: ~500–1,000 mg/day, consistently, typically with food.

• Foundation first: sleep, protein, movement, sunlight, stress skills—then consider UA as an enhancer, not a shortcut.

• Who should pause: pregnant/breastfeeding, under 18, or anyone on complex meds—talk to your clinician. Quality and sourcing matter.

Dr. Kim’s take is simple: optimize the cell, and the system follows—but start with the basics before the buzz.

Questions about how this fits your routine? Drop them below and we’ll have Dr. Kim weigh in.

The morning ritual that does more than wake us up.

Good Housekeeping gathered nine tiny habits that reshape a day—and one line from concierge physician Dr. Phyllis Nsiah-Kumi that stayed with us: start with intention and gratitude. In practice, it’s simple—a pause before the scroll, three quiet thanks before your feet touch the floor. But the energy shifts: steadier focus, softer stress, a day that feels chosen instead of chased.

This isn’t about perfect routines; it’s about presence. The kind that begins in seconds and carries you for hours.

We loved this piece because it turns “wellness” into something human and doable.

☕✨ The morning ritual that does more than wake us up.

A new study suggests coffee can actually make us happier — and in Fox News’ recent feature, Dr. Jenelle Kim reminds us why it’s about more than caffeine.

In Eastern medicine, every ritual carries energy. A mindful cup in the morning doesn’t just spark alertness — it sets the tone for the day, balancing our qi and focus. But as Dr. Kim shares, balance is everything: one or two cups can uplift, while too much leaves us depleted.

It’s a beautiful reminder that the power of wellness often lives in the smallest daily moments — like the steam rising from your cup.

Breaking Beauty News Meets Preventive Care

When a heritage brand changes its logo, it’s never just about fonts and colors. It’s about memory, meaning, and identity.

Recently, Cracker Barrel tried to simplify its logo. The result? Customers felt like a piece of their own story was being erased. Within days, backlash forced a reversal.

As Ravi Sawhney reminds us: “A logo isn’t just a symbol – it’s an emotional anchor.”

Heritage brands carry decades of emotional equity—warmth, trust, nostalgia. Modernization matters, but not at the expense of authenticity. The challenge isn’t to look new, but to feel timeless.

When design honors emotional DNA, it strengthens loyalty across generations. When it doesn’t, rejection is swift.

🪑 What brands make you feel at home the way Cracker Barrel once did?
