Blue Bloods Alum Nick Corderos Widow Amanda Kloots Opens up About Therapy Following His Death – PopCulture.com

Amanda Kloots opened up about going to therapy several months after the death of her husband, actor Nick Cordero. The Tony-nominated Broadway star died in July from complications of the coronavirus, following over 90 days in an intensive care unit. In an Instagram Story post this weekend, Kloots said she was "finally ready" to go to therapy to "address the trauma" she faced in the past year. Kloots, who has joined The Talk as a co-host, said New Year's Day was "worse" for her than Christmas.

Why do some people find it harder than others to lose weight? – The Guardian

Anushka Asthana talks to Dr Andrew Jenkinson, a consultant in bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. He discusses how his patients’ experiences of failed weight loss led him to spend years researching metabolism and weight reduction. Why is it that although most people consume food with too many calories, only some become obese? Genes predispose you to obesity, he says, but your genetics need to be triggered by environmental change for you to become obese. In areas of the world where populations eat local, fresh ingredients, populations do not become obese. But if you change that food supply to processed food, some of that populations will become obese. The United Arab Emirates is a good example of this, says Jenkinson, who holds clinics in Dubai. He notes that two generations ago the po...
