Are you a tempeh skeptic? Well, you're not alone.

Let's talk about what tempeh is, the nutrition of tempeh, and what you can do with tempeh with one of our resident dietitians, Dietitian Xavier.

February is all about the heart—and we don’t just mean candy hearts and greeting cards.

It’s also American Heart Month, and one of the most powerful ways to support your heart is with the food on your plate.

A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains can help lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and keep your arteries healthy. In many cases, we even see signs of reversal.

So, whether you are showing yourself or someone else a little culinary love, heart-healthy choices can make a real difference.

💚 Here’s to healthy hearts and a happy Valentine’s Day.

This Black History Month, we’re honoring the powerful stories of six incredible Black Food for Life instructors who are helping communities reclaim their health through food.

From culturally rooted recipes to life-changing wellness journeys, these instructors are creating spaces where people feel empowered, supported, and inspired to take charge of their health.

You’ll also find featured recipes rooted in culture and tradition—including Southern-Style Collard Greens and Black-Eyed Peas, Mango Black Bean Salad, Great Green Cabbage (Fighters Style), and a plant-based Sweet Potato Pie inspired by family history.

Together, their stories reflect what Food for Life is all about: honoring culture, strengthening community, and sharing the life-changing power of plant-based nutrition.

A major milestone for monkeys—and for science.

After years of advocacy, public pressure, and scientific progress, Oregon Health & Science University has taken a significant step toward closing the Oregon National Primate Research Center.

This decision brings us closer to ending experiments on thousands of monkeys and investing in research methods that are more ethical, more effective, and more relevant to human health.

This moment didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of sustained action—from whistleblowers and workers, to lawmakers, scientists, advocates, and supporters across Oregon and beyond.

We’re proud of this progress and we’re committed to seeing it through.

We’re excited to introduce the HUMAIN Award 2025 winners, and to do it for the second year in a row!

For this initiative, we’re joined by to recognize outstanding scientific work that advances human-relevant research, with a strong focus on approaches that move beyond animal experimentation and better reflect human biology.

This year’s response once again impressed us. From innovative experimental designs to thoughtful application of advanced in vitro models, the 2025 winners stood out for both scientific excellence and real-world relevance.

The award supports researchers through financial funding, access to InSphero technologies, hands-on training in Schlieren, Switzerland, and increased scientific visibility, helping them further develop and share their work.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing the scientists behind the award, their innovative research, and what makes it special.

Stay tuned as we celebrate the people and ideas helping shape the future of human-relevant science.
