There’s one ingredient protein-maxxers, fiber-maxxers, dietitians, and “real food” enthusiasts can all agree on, @yeahyeahyasmin writes. theatlantic.com/health/2026/03…

If you haven't gotten into beans yet, now is the time!!! theatlantic.com/health/2026/03…

Realizing that your brain is slowing down can be jarring, but some older adults are asking doctors a new question: Am I just getting old, or do I have ADHD? @yeahyeahyasmin reports: theatlantic.com/health/2026/02…

A new Super Bowl ad from Hims & Hers contends that anyone can live like the rich—if you can afford to order up health care the way they do, @yeahyeahyasmin writes: theatlantic.com/health/2026/02…

Just sayin, more testosterone probably won't fix what's wrong with American men!!! theatlantic.com/health/2026/01…

By not allowing the sale of hunted venison, much of the United States is allowing good meat to go to waste. @yeahyeahyasmin tried to buy some: theatln.tc/CdI4QjAS

Weed companies are using Dry January to market their gummies and drinks, @yeahyeahyasmin reports—but does taking the edge off sobriety with THC really count as “dry”? theatlantic.com/health/2026/01…

"In the Philippines, Jollibee is an institution; in America, it’s mostly just another chicken restaurant, and may never be destined to be anything more." @yeahyeahyasmin for @TheAtlantic: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Good feature in @TheAtlantic by @yeahyeahyasmin on Jollibee's expanding presence in America. Globalisation doesn't just mean McDonaldization of the world; it also entails the penetration & influence of 'Global South' fast food chains in the West itself theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

My feature on Jollibee is out today!!! Read on for a tale about fried chicken, sweet spaghetti, and postcolonial revenge 🇵🇭 theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Wellness patches have flooded big-box stores, promising to curb anxiety, boost libido, and more. But their effects don't seem to be the main source of their appeal, @yeahyeahyasmin reports: theatlantic.com/health/2025/11…

astounding reporting from @hanamkiros on the US-led plan to build temporary housing for displaced Gazans and its potentially permanent consequences. "It’s unclear if there was any consultation at all with any Palestinian." theatlantic.com/national-secur…
