Wings Over is bringing a first-of-its-kind flavor to the table: Pumpkin Spice Chicken Wings. Now women and men can agree on the perfect tailgating treat!
Also, National Pumpkin Spice Day is Oct 1!
Launching September 15 across their 30+ locations in 9 states, the “PSWs” are described as “Sugar, Spice, and Everything Basic”—a sweet-and-savory spin designed to surprise and delight everyone from tailgaters to families. Wings Over is known for bold limited-time flavors, but this is their most unexpected seasonal release yet.
Given how much buzz pumpkin spice sparks every year, we think this fun, tongue-in-cheek twist could be a perfect fit for your fall flavor coverage (especially on your social channels). We’d love to share more visuals and details as soon as the embargo lifts next month.
How about a Tailgating Story?
🍺 Best Beer Pairings for Pumpkin Spice Wings
Pumpkin Ale – Lean into the theme! Many breweries release seasonal pumpkin ales with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove that will echo the wings’ flavors.
Brown Ale – Malty, nutty, and slightly sweet — balances the sugar and spice without overwhelming.
Wheat Beer / Hefeweizen – Refreshing, slightly fruity, with hints of banana/clove that mirror fall spices.
Oktoberfest Märzen – Toasty and caramel-forward, classic fall flavor that pairs perfectly with chicken wings.
IPA (Hazy/New England style) – The citrus + juicy hop character adds a refreshing counterpoint to the sweetness.
🍷 Best Wine Pairings for Pumpkin Spice Wings
1. Riesling (Off-Dry)
Sweetness balances the spice and heat.
Apple and honey notes mirror fall flavors.
2. Gewürztraminer
Naturally spicy and aromatic (ginger, clove, lychee).
Matches the warming spices in pumpkin spice.
3. Sparkling Wine (Prosecco or Cava)
Effervescence cuts through the sauciness.
Light fruit notes play well with cinnamon and nutmeg.
4. Pinot Noir (Lighter Style)
Red berry fruitiness complements the pumpkin spice sweetness.
Soft tannins won’t overwhelm the wings.
5. Chardonnay (Lightly Oaked)
Buttery and toasty notes echo fall flavors.
Works if wings are on the sweeter, less spicy side.
I am so excited to share the newest, boldest addition to the Creatine Gummy lineup… Pink Lemonade.
This flavor is sweet with a little tang, giving you all the summer vibes while still packing the same performance benefits I swear by. Whether I am pushing through a workout or recovering after one, these Pink Lemonade Creatine Gummies are my go-to for gains I can taste.
Here is why I love them:
Effective: 5g of creatine monohydrate per serving. Backed by real research. Helps with strength, endurance, and recovery.
Convenient: No shaker… no water… no mess. Just grab them and go.
High-Quality: Made in the USA in NSF-certified, FDA-inspected facilities. No dyes, no fillers, no junk.
Proven Formula: Same trusted ingredients… brand new flavor I cannot put down.
Risk-Free: No proprietary blends. If you do not love them, full refund.
We’ve all been there. You open your fridge, reach for that fresh kale or romaine… and it looks like it gave up on life.
Before you toss it in the compost bin or mourn your sad salad dreams… let me put you onto a kitchen hack that actually works.
The fix? Ice water. Simple and powerful.
If your kale is limp or your lettuce is looking tired, all you need is a bowl of ice water. Submerge those wilted greens for 15 to 30 minutes and watch them bounce back to life. The cold shock rehydrates the cells and gives them that crisp, field fresh look and texture.
This method doesn’t just work on leafy greens. It’s a game changer for:
Kale
Romaine or mixed lettuce
Fresh herbs
Celery
Carrots
That’s right. Even your carrots can go from bendy to snappy with a quick ice bath.
Why it works
When greens wilt, they’re not rotten… they’re just dehydrated. The water cells in the plant tissues lose moisture, making the veggies soft and dull. Ice water helps those cells reabsorb water and firm back up.
Pro tip Once they’ve revived, pat your greens dry with a clean towel and store them in a container with a paper towel inside. It helps them stay fresher, longer.
So next time you think your produce is past its prime, try this first. It’ll save you money, reduce waste, and make your meals that much better.
Because fresh isn’t just a vibe… it’s a choice.
2x the Calories, 2.8x the Sodium: Trump’s Diet Under the Microscope
President Donald J. Trump's diet may not be for the faint-hearted, and definitely not for those who try to limit their calories, sodium, sugar and fat intake.
A newly released analysis from Healthnews reveals that President Donald J. Trump’s daily meal plan may substantially exceed dietary recommendations, especially for his age group.
At 78 years old, President Trump became the oldest person to be inaugurated president. The candidates' age and health were common concerns during the presidential campaign, although most of the criticism was directed at Trump’s initial opponent, former President Joe Biden.
Diet undoubtedly plays an important role in determining health, especially in aging individuals. It is recommended that older adults limit foods high in unhealthy fats and avoid empty calories.
However, the current President seems to be going in the exact opposite direction since his publicly documented food choices—including multiple Big Macs, milkshakes, and significant amounts of Diet Coke—suggest Trump’s daily caloric intake exceeds 4,600 calories, roughly 2.3 times the recommended level for men his age, considering he does not skip breakfast.
The Healthnews team analyzed the nutritional value of Donald Trump’s diet, focusing on a day when he indulges more than usual and includes breakfast, a meal he often skips.
In short, on "feast days," when he doesn't skip breakfast, his meal plan looks like this:
Breakfast: Bacon and eggs.
Lunch: A very well-done steak with ketchup.
Dinner: Two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and a small milkshake.
Snacks: A bag of Doritos.
Drinks: 12 Diet Cokes throughout the day.
The nutritional breakdown of such a diet is the following:
Calories: 4,653 kcal
Fat: 250 g (Saturated fat: 68 g, Trans fat: 3.9 g)
Cholesterol: 830 mg
Carbohydrates: 416 g (Fiber: 15 g, Total sugars: 106 g, Added sugars: 79 g)
Protein: 184 g
Sodium: 6,419 mg
Caffeine: 552 mg
Key Micronutrients:
Vitamin D: 2.23 mcg
Calcium: 1,283 mg
Iron: 24 mg
Potassium: 3,773 mg
Sodium and calories are off the charts
The number of calories Trump consumes on a day of full eating exceeds the United States dietary guidelines recommendationsaround 2x, which estimate that men 76 years old and older need around 2,000–2,400 kcal per day, depending on their physical activity level.
An average American consumes too much sodium, and while Trump is by no means an average guy, his diet is no exception, with 6,419 mg of sodium daily. According to USDA guidelines, men 51 years old and older should consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. The current President exceeds the recommended daily sodium intake by around 2.8 times.

4 Benefits of Electrolytes
As a coach and kinesiologist, I often emphasize the importance of proper hydration and nutrition for optimal performance. One essential aspect of this is ensuring adequate electrolyte intake. Electrolytes—including sodium chloride, magnesium, and potassium—are minerals with an electrical charge that play a crucial role in our overall health. Here’s how they can benefit you:
Hydration:
Sodium plays a vital role in hydration—where sodium goes, water follows. Many people focus solely on drinking plain water but neglect electrolytes, which are essential for retaining hydration and maintaining balanced cell function. If you’re drinking plenty of water but still experiencing headaches or fatigue, it might be time to incorporate electrolytes into your routine. I also suggest aiming for 3-4L of water per day to ensure you’re staying properly hydrated.
On my coaching site, Train It Right, I often recommend personalized hydration strategies to help clients stay energized and perform at their best. By adding the right electrolytes to your plan, we can ensure your body functions optimally.
Stress Management:
Stress can wreak havoc on your body, and electrolytes, especially magnesium, are key to managing its effects. Known as the “anti-stress mineral,” magnesium helps regulate the body’s stress response. For my clients navigating high-stress periods, I often incorporate magnesium-rich foods and supplements to support their overall well-being.
Headache & Brain Fog Relief:
Headaches and brain fog can often be linked to an electrolyte imbalance. Magnesium and potassium are particularly helpful for addressing these issues. Through my coaching programs, I provide tailored recommendations to ensure you’re meeting your electrolyte needs, improving both mental clarity and physical performance.
Bloat Support:
Bloating can be frustrating, especially when it’s tied to hormonal shifts. Electrolytes can help by reducing water retention. I recommend options with lower sodium for those experiencing bloating during specific phases of their cycle. Together, we can create a plan that keeps you feeling light and confident.
Let’s Optimize Your Nutrition
Electrolytes are a vital part of achieving your fitness and health goals. If you’re ready to take your performance to the next level, let’s work together to customize a plan that meets your unique needs. Visit Train It Right to learn more about my coaching services and how I can help you train smarter, not harder.
Summer is practically hear and let’s face it. No one wants to be slaving away every day over a hot stove in the sweltering heat. Thats where meal prep comes in handy. All you have to do is take a few hours once or twice a week and prepare all of your meals in advance. It saves you loads of time and energy in the long run. Saving your time isn’t the only great thing about meal prep because preparing in advance also ensures that you will stay on track. So instead of reaching for fast food or quick fixes you have your pre made meal right on hand. If you arrange your meals accordingly you can have delicious meals lined up in a row right in your refrigerator to grab and go for the whole week.
Not only is meal prep a great way to stay on track but you can make healthy meal prep food in a mason jar. You can pick mason jars up at most local dollar stores, home suppliers or department stores. Once you start using mason jars you soon will realize that they are very versatile. You can make anything from breakfast, salads, pastas, rice bowls, snacks or even desserts just to name a few. They are also very aesthetically please and keep well when sealed and placed in the fridge.
The following 3 recipes are a great start to healthy meal prepping in a jar and I hope that they inspire you to be creative and make your own recipes or add your own personalized twists to these ones. Don’t be afraid to make your favorite meals. Just make sure to layer the wet ingredients on the bottom and layer up from there. The beauty of a healthy meal in a mason jar is that most anything works. Enjoy!

New Book Reveals How To Eat As Much As You Want & Never Gain Weight - Interviews Available With Author
What if you could eat as much as you wanted, all day every day, and never gain weight? No gimmicks, nothing unsafe. And what if it was among the easiest things you've ever done? Maureen Anderson's book "The Willpower Workaround," readers will learn a new mindset to eating and living well.
Maureen Anderson Says:
One of the boldest moves I ever made was challenging the assumption that food should be a reward for anything. It's like a career consultant friend once told me: you need vacations the same way you need to breathe out after breathing in. Breathing out isn't a reward for breathing in. It's just part of the deal. When you make food a "reward" instead of a normal part of taking care of yourself, there's a tendency to dress it up, to make it "entertainment" (as Dilbert creator Scott Adams says).
We learn in the book that your initial success with permanent weight loss was based on winning a challenge. Do you have any advice for men and women who need a reward to stay on the path toward changing the way they eat?
One key to your success was focusing on how bad certain foods made you feel physically, like the hamburger headaches. Did you also focus on how bad you were going to feel about yourself when you indulged in junk food?
About Maureen Anderson
Maureen Anderson is the host of the nationally-syndicated radio talk show, Doing What Works, that helps you fix what you don't like about your life. She is also the author of The Career Clinic: Eight Simple Rules for Finding Work You Love (AMACOM, 2009). She is the co-author, with Dick Beardsley, of Staying the Course: A Runner's Toughest Race (University of Minnesota Press, 2002). And she won a 2006 Minnesota Book Award for Left for Dead: A Second Life after Vietnam, with Jon Hovde (Minnesota, 2005).

DR. ARTHUR AGATSTON AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEWS
Creator of the Agatston Calcium Score and Founder of the Heart-Healthy
South Beach Diet
You’ve likely heard about President Trump’s recent physical examination as well as Sanjay Gupta’s reference to Trump’s calcium score as it relates to heart disease.
But what exactly is the calcium score, also known as the Agatston calcium score? How was it developed and how is it used today?
The Agatston score was created in 1990 and named after Dr. Arthur Agatston, founder of the heart-healthy South Beach Diet, who continues to practice cardiology in Miami Beach, Florida. The work leading to the Agatston calcium score was done at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach in the late 1980s.
In short, because of the increasingly widespread use of cardiac CT imaging, the Agatston calcium score has received great scientific and clinical interest as it was the first approach to quantifying coronary artery calcium. Knowing a patient’s coronary artery calcium score facilitates a more informed physician-patient discussion and the decision of whether or not to go on decades-long statin therapy, which helps reduce the risk of a heart attack and stroke.
ARTHUR AGATSTON, M.D. Biography
Arthur Agatston, M.D., is the Medical Director of Wellness and Prevention for Baptist Health South Florida. A pioneer in cardiac disease prevention, Dr. Agatston worked with Dr. Warren Janowitz to formulate the Agatston Score, a method of screening for coronary calcium as an indicator of atherosclerosis that is used at medical centers throughout the world and considered by most experts to be the best single predictor of a future heart attack. Dr. Agatston is a clinical professor of medicine at Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. His cardiology practice in Miami Beach is focused on preventing heart attacks in high-risk patients.
Known as the author of the internationally best-selling book, The South Beach Diet, his first nonacademic work, Dr. Agatston created his balanced approach to healthy eating to help his patients improve their blood chemistries and lose weight. Today, the South Beach Diet is the trusted choice of millions and there are more than 23 million copies of The South Beach Diet and its companion books in print worldwide. The lifestyle program has grown to include Web-based materials and a family of healthy and convenient foods, including delicious and nutritionally balanced bars and snacks, as well as a popular online program, SouthBeachDiet.com. Dr. Agatston’s most recent books, The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution and The South Beach Diet Gluten Solution Cookbook, were published in 2013.
Dr. Agatston has published more than 100 scientific articles and abstracts in medical journals and is a frequent lecturer across the U.S. and around the world on diet, cardiac imaging, and the prevention of heart disease. In recognition of his contributions to cardiac prevention, the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) created the prestigious Arthur S. Agatston Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Award in 2011, which is given annually to pioneers in cardiac prevention. Among his many television appearances, Dr. Agatston was featured along with President Bill Clinton on Sanjay Gupta’s 2011 CNN special, “The Last Heart Attack.”
