Why Even Young & Fit Athletes Can’t Ignore Colon Cancer Screening

March 13, 2026

John B. Johnson has always considered himself fit. He ran track in high school and played rugby at Kent State University. At 35, wanting to get in the best shape of his life, he trained for the 2023 Cleveland Marathon, racking up 70-plus miles per week. One morning, he noticed blood in his stool. “At first, I thought it was from eating beets, but it persisted,” he says. “I felt fine but knew I should get it checked out.” Johnson ran the race in 3:04, which qualified him for the Boston Marathon, then saw his doctor. “He initially thought the blood was caused by a ruptured hemorrhoid, but still ordered a colonoscopy,” says Johnson. The procedure found a mass in his rectum that proved to be stage 2 colorectal cancer. Johnson was shocked. He was young, ate clean (he hadn’t drunk a soda since his teens), and had no known cancer in his family. “I just got into Boston, and they told me I was sick,” says Johnson. “It didn’t make sense.” A rising problem Colorectal cancer often strikes older...

Jen Hendershott Is Building the Bridge Women’s Fitness Always Needed

March 13, 2026

There’s a strange irony in women’s fitness. It may be the most complete division in the IFBB as far as strength, muscle, conditioning, choreography, stage presence, and athleticism go; it is the very embodiment of the fitness movement—and yet it has always lived just slightly in the shadows of its more muscular, less athletic cousins. Unlike all the other divisions—male and female—fitness demands you not only look the part, but also prove it in motion—extreme motion. It’s not enough to stand there, hit some poses, and be more impressive than the person next to you. No. You have to fly. And that’s exactly why Jen Hendershott belonged on the Olympia stage. Long before she was Ms. Olympia. Long before the Arnold titles. Long before the routines that made judges sit up like the front row of a Baptist revival. She was a cheerleader—a cheerleader who went through high school and college, rose to the very top of the heap, reached the zenith of her competitive career at 22, and looked around...

Sulek made his Pro debut this year, in the Classic Physique category in Columbus, OH, and earned a respectable eighth place in his first outing, but the social media star didn’t impress Dennis James it seems. “I was a little surprised,” shared The Menace. “The guy that placed ninth. How did he get beat? I don’t know,” he stated. While the Men’s Classic Physique trophy went to Wesley Vissers, Sulek’s eighth-place finish put him ahead of established stars like Paul Kanu (ninth) and Hang Niu (tenth). “So, for me, Sam would have been ninth or tenth,” added James.

Alzheimer’s Cases Are Rising Among Younger People—But Exercise May Help Protect Your Brain

March 12, 2026

It is estimated that 7.2 million Americans aged 65 and over are living with Alzheimer’s, the most common cause of dementia, but this illness is not limited to the elderly. Although much rarer, researchers believe that 200,000 people between the ages of 30 and 64 are also suffering , but hopeful evidence continues to emerge showing the importance of exercise for protecting your mental health. A new study from the University of California-San Francisco has now shown, in mice, that being active protects the brain from Alzheimer’s. The groundbreaking work demonstrates that physical activity primes the liver to release a specific enzyme that eliminates the harmful protein that causes the blood-brain barrier to become less robust. By removing the harmful protein, this has resulted in reduced inflammation and greater memory, potentially prompting a new approach to Alzheimer’s therapies in humans. “This discovery shows just how relevant the body is for understanding how the brain declines wi...

Inside the PGA Tour’s Mobile Fitness and Recovery Centers That Help Power Modern Golf Performance

March 12, 2026

At a PGA Tour stop, most fans see pristine fairways, packed leaderboards, and Sunday pressure. What they don’t see is the cold plunge humming behind the clubhouse. The 1,000-square-foot mobile gym unfolding before sunrise. The physical therapists taping wrists and loosening hips before a single tee shot is struck. They don’t see the traveling infrastructure that allows the world’s best golfers to treat every tournament like a home game. That infrastructure has a steward. PGA Andy Levinson doesn’t swing a club for a living. He doesn’t read greens or chase FedExCup points. But if you want to understand why today’s PGA Tour athletes look stronger, last longer, and treat preparation like a science, you have to understand his role. Because in a sport that travels 40-plus weeks a year with no home facility, someone has to help build the home. “It might be a little complicated,” Levinson says when asked how he describes his role as Senior Vice President of Tournament Administration f...
