Nearly everyone has heard of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most famous soccer players in the world. He holds the record for the most goals scored in the UEFA Champions League, making many people wonder what kind of habits and routines it takes to be the best. Successful athletes have to be dedicated and consistent with their exercise regimen, nutrition, rest, and stress management.

Ronaldo takes things a step further by using Bioniq’s personalized supplements. This London-based company has you take a quiz and submit blood test data to let you know what supplements you actually need to be taking. Many people don’t know exactly what their body needs an extra boost of, but this has been one of Ronaldo’s secrets for the past three years to achieve optimal health both externally and internally.

Boniq utilizes advanced AI analyses to generate pharmaceutical-grade formulas that feature up to 120 nutrients. Based on your specific needs (and Ronaldo’s!), they then create a prebiotic granule that is similar to chewed-up food, cueing your body to digest it and ensuring maximum nutrient absorption. This blend allows you to skip taking ten different capsules every morning and hoping that your body will actually break down the shells in a timely manner.

How big is Ronaldo’s commitment to Bioniq? In addition to being a member and his personal endorsement, he’s recently made a significant investment into the company, bringing its total valuation to $82 million.

“Backing Bioniq goes beyond just an investment opportunity for me—it’s about aligning with a shared vision for health, performance, and longevity,” said Ronaldo. “I have been using their products myself for almost three years. With their personalized health approach, I believe Bioniq has the potential to transform how we care for our bodies and help people reach and maintain their peak performance for longer.”

They say put your money where your mouth is and, well, Ronaldo did. If this upgraded supplementation process sounds intriguing to you, head over to Boniq’s website and take the quiz.

Why Peloton’s Kirsten Ferguson takes an hour for herself — and you should too
Kirsten Ferguson on using movement to heal

In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to think of fitness only in terms of physical results — chasing muscle tone, weight loss, or personal records. But for Peloton instructor Kirsten Ferguson, working out is just as much about mental strength as it is about physical gains. I had a conversation with Kirsten to talk about how movement, even in its simplest form, can be a lifeline for emotional well-being.

Through her Peloton classes, Kirsten encourages people to carve out time just for themselves, something she practices daily. In our conversation, she opened up about why she dedicates one hour every day to herself, how to reframe exercise as self-care, and how parents can work through the guilt of taking that time. Whether it’s a full workout or just a few mindful moments of movement, showing up for yourself can have a profound impact on your mental health.

I’ve seen more and more research on the benefits of walking for your health. For example, one large meta-analysis revealed that two minutes of walking around the block after eating helped stabilize insulin levels and slowed the rise and fall in blood sugar from the meal. A 10-minute walk has been shown to reduce blood pressure and improve mood, and researchers found that a brisk 11-minute walk a day lowers the risk of several illnesses. 

It’s clear that walking is good news for your wellness, and recently, fitness buffs have been raving about the Japanese interval walking method. Let’s look at what it is, how to do it, and the benefits.

The world of supplements marketed for muscle growth, testosterone, and energy is flooded -- leaving it easy for men to feel overwhelmed or misled (especially when standing in the health supplement aisle).

To make things simpler for men looking to amp up their health & fitness just in time for Men's Health Month, I got the scoop from Thomas DeLauer, nutrition and performance coach for MLB, NFL and NHL athletes and Expert Advisor at SuppCo, the health tech startup transforming how people discover, manage, and optimize their supplement routine.
