Does Strattera cause weight gain? This question has been lingering in waiting rooms and on message boards for years. It seems straightforward, as questions frequently do when we haven’t lived with them. In clinics, parents look at their children’s sneakers and ask this question. Adults ask it as they calculate outdated diets and offensive remarks. Unfairly, the scale tends to take center stage in any discussion about health. Key factsMedicationStrattera (atomoxetine), a non-stimulant ADHD treatmentApproved usesAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in adults and children 6+Typical effect on weightMore often appetite loss and mild weight loss; in kids, slowed expected weight gain early onWhat…

She left a Lady Gaga concert, of all places, wearing a leather jacket, hot pants, and a bra top. The rest was done by the camera flash. Noah Cyrus was no longer a musician with a new album and a tour schedule in a matter of hours. A “body moment” was her. The internet transforms a celebrity’s typical night out into something akin to a referendum with just a few paparazzi photos. It’s an odd kind of alchemy. Was she larger? Did she “gain”? Was it wholesome? Was it “too much”? After ten years of learning to live in the…
The joke used to be in the name. Jelly Roll, the plump child who developed into the moniker before surpassing it—first as a tenacious rapper performing on the Southern circuit, then as a country music icon packing arenas with songs about regret, mercy, and the unwavering hope that follows both. The body couldn’t keep up with the music’s rapid pace. BioJason Bradley DeFord, known professionally as Jelly RollBackgroundBorn December 4, 1984, in Antioch, Tennessee; rapper-turned-country star who grew up navigating poverty, addiction, and the criminal justice systemCareer highlightsBreakthrough with “Son of a Sinner,” Grammy nominee, sold-out tours, subject of the…
Even therapists cannot agree on what constitutes “the best” therapists. Some are respected for their ability to listen without blinking. Others, since they present a challenge. There are dozens of them in Leicester, including quiet studios in semi-detached homes on the outskirts of the city, shared offices close to Granby Street, and discreet rooms over estate agents. All of them base their practices on the same tenet: come in, speak, and you will be heard. It brought back memories of that winter night off King Street, when the building had a subtle eucalyptus and new carpet scent. A woman who…
There was no announcement at the beginning of the conversation. Freeze-frames were the first. When someone paused the show, they saw that Tony Romo’s face appeared smoother and fuller, with a deeper tan and a thicker-looking hairline than they had remembered. Some people shared screenshots. Some others responded, half-joking, half-concerned. Strangers became medical detectives within hours, exchanging theories as though the booth had become a clinic. Romo remained silent. He continued to call blitzes and coverages, performing the duties for which he had been hired.

His collapse was not dramatic. There was neither a crowd-wide inhale that becomes legendary in replay packages nor a cinematic slow-motion shot. Rather, during a muddy game against Georgia Tech, Drew Bobo left the field and returned in sweats wearing a walking boot. The offense continued to play as though nothing had changed, but it had. It felt different, but Georgia still prevailed. The Bulldogs won 16–9, which appeared to be more of a stubborn dispute with gravity than a victory in a rivalry. Somewhere along the line, it became clear that the man who touches the ball every snap…
Bebe Rexha wasn’t the first to bring up the subject of her weight. Seldom does it. Screenshots, TikTok pauses, and remarks that seem casual to the writer and radioactive to the recipient were how it started, as it frequently does these days. Then it continued, even louder than the songs. Rexha hasn’t kept the numbers a secret. Thirty pounds. Perhaps a bit more. She discussed it on TV, explaining how her polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosis changed everything, including hormones, appetite, and the rate at which her body stored food. She wasn’t looking for pity. Although she appeared to be describing…
With the quiet insistency of something people believed they already knew, the question started to circulate almost immediately after Love & Death aired, making its way across social media and comment sections. Did Jesse Plemons put on weight for this part as well? No, but the question’s tenacity speaks louder than the response ever could. It shows how closely audiences now observe bodies and how quickly factual context is subordinated to physical memory.
