The campaign covers a wide range of topics, raising awareness and educating readers about diabetes, prostate and urological health, bone and joint wellness, patient engagement, allergies, sleep science, digestive health, mental health, and the benefits of running.

Actress Angela Bassett graces the cover of the print edition and, in an exclusive interview, talks about how she and her relatives manage the high incidence of diabetes in their family. Whether it’s cooking and baking healthy, reduced-sugar, and low-carb foods, or making family time more active, she says it’s much easier to have a healthier lifestyle when the people around you are supportive. “Instead of sitting around after we eat, we’ll go for a walk or even have a dance party,” Bassett says. “It’s fun to be healthy together!”
