How GLP-1s Are Reshaping Restaurant Menus

The Trend: Somewhere between the COVID pandemic and the rise of Ozempic, our eating habits have changed from three meals a day to lots of grazing. In response, more and more restaurants (including chains like Olive Garden and Subway) have started rolling out options for smaller portions that are designed for people who want a little treat without the full-sized commitment. The timing tracks with the popularity of GLP-1 medications, which dramatically curb appetite and have been taken by roughly 12% of Americans as of late 2025.

What People Are Saying: GLP-1s are the most-cited explanation, but they're not the only reason. Younger consumers generally tend to eat smaller amounts spread throughout the day rather than one big sit-down meal, and more people are socializing in ways that don't revolve around drinking, which has made snacking a bigger part of a night out. Efforts to save money are also playing a role.

What to Know: Food industry analysts say this reflects a longer-term shift in how people view dining out, with priorities moving away from maximizing portion size to maximizing social experience. And while the higher-protein trend that often accompanies these smaller portions is important for people taking GLP-1s, it isn't automatically healthier — dietitians warn that overemphasizing protein can crowd out other nutrients your body needs.

Abstinence May Harm Male Fertility

Best By Date: Women are often the focus of fertility conversations, but men obviously play a big part in conception, too. It’s a long-standing belief — and even a recommendation from the World Health Organization — that when couples are trying to conceive, men should abstain from ejaculating for two to seven days between tries to allow their sperm count to build back up. But a new large-scale meta-analysis suggests that might not be the best move for fertility.

The Study: Researchers collected and analyzed sperm data from 115 published studies including nearly 55,000 men, as well as 56 studies across 30 insects, mammals, and other non-human species. They found that longer periods of abstinence were associated with increased sperm DNA damage and oxidative stress from exposure to free radicals, which reduced sperm’s viability and motility (how well it moves).

The Takeaway: Sperm is produced continuously from puberty and stored in the ejaculatory tract prior to use. Sperm don’t have a strong metabolism, nor are they able to repair themselves effectively. More frequent ejaculation can offer a boost to male fertility.

Keep in Mind: Fertility is complex and often influenced by environmental factors. While this new evidence may support an updated set of guidelines for couples trying to conceive, it’s only one piece of the puzzle.

SPOTLIGHT

Everything Is Never Enough

Bobby Jamieson wasn’t looking for a feel-good message when he opened the book of Ecclesiastes. The ancient text is notoriously bleak — “Meaningless! Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” — and it doesn’t wrap up cleanly, either. But Jamieson, a jazz saxophonist turned Cambridge-trained theologian, saw something most readers miss: a path to what he dubs “resilient happiness.”

His 2025 book, Everything Is Never Enough, came out of a preaching series at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. When the series ended, Jamieson felt he wasn’t done with the material. His book that resulted won both the Christianity Today and Gospel Coalition book awards. Jamieson’s argument: modern life is a conveyor belt toward burnout — we scroll, strive, and accumulate, yet nothing quite satisfies us. Ecclesiastes, he says, helps dismantle those false hopes one by one, clearing ground for happiness that doesn’t depend on circumstances.

You don’t have to be religious to benefit from his book. Jamieson's core takeaway is that placing life on an eternal horizon — rather than the next promotion, purchase, or milestone — is what makes joy resilient. Learning to sit with “enough” might be the most radical act of all.

What We're Cooking

Herb Salad with Chickpeas and Feta

Serves: 4 | Cook Time: 25 minutes

In this salad, the herbs aren’t just a garnish — they’re the star. Mint, parsley, chives, and dill bring bright, fresh flavor, while feta marinated in chilis and garlic and crunchy roasted chickpeas add richness, protein, and texture. Tossed with a squeeze of lemon, the result is light and summery — perfect alongside chicken or lamb, but hearty and flavorful enough to enjoy on its own.

Stuff We Love

Neutonic

There comes a point when a third cup of coffee just doesn’t cut it. When I need a serious jolt of energy, I’ve been reaching for these drinks from Neutonic. They’re made of a blend of nootropic ingredients — including L-theanine and ginseng — in addition to 120 mg of caffeine. They’re marketed as “productivity drinks,” and I get why: After one can, I’m bright-eyed and focused — even during the sleepiest of afternoon slumps — without feeling overly-wired.

Maybe it also has to do with my coffee tolerance, the super-sweet fruity flavor (that’s somehow still zero-sugar), or the psychedelic branding, but when I need something stronger than my usual espresso, this is my new go-to.

HEALTHY HABIT

The Nightstand Notebook Habit

Keep a notebook by your bed and use it for one line before sleep: something to remember, something to do, or something you want off your mind. Writing things down reduces the mental load of trying to hold onto them overnight. Sometimes better sleep starts with giving your brain permission to stop tracking everything.
