Evanston & Chicagoland Young People - Protein, Gym Trends, Orthorexia

Health trends in youth - seeking interviews for story Hi! I’m a student journalist at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, and I’m doing a feature article on health trends in young people and how it’s affecting the body, specifically looking at the Evanston/Chicagoland area. More specifically, I’m interested in exploring the rise of protein consumption (caused by small/big brands launching protein products), the rise of gym going, and the normalization of disordered eating (orthorexia) through wellness culture on social media. Ultimately, I want to answer the question, who is shaping young people’s idea of health? And what is that effect? I’m looking to interview psychologists, fitness trainers, social media influencers, students, parents, food industry workers, etc. But I want to emphasize that I want to hear from anyone who has a particular opinion on this!!! Please DM if you would be interested, I would need to phone or video call you.

Muay Thai Fighters in Thailand - Small Authentic Gym Documentary

Looking for an authentic Muay Thai gym in Thailand for a documentary project Hey everyone, My name is Max, I’m a filmmaker from France and I’m currently preparing a small personal documentary project about Muay Thai in Thailand. The idea is simple: I would love to spend a few days in an authentic gym and follow one local fighter during the preparation for a fight, to create a short cinematic documentary (around 10 minutes) about his/her journey, training, mindset and daily life. I’ve already been to Thailand several times and I genuinely love the culture, the people and the mindset there. What I especially love about Thailand is the humility, discipline and calm energy that many Thai people have. Every time I come back, I feel inspired by it. I’m not looking for a huge commercial gym or “fitness tourism” experience. I’m more interested in a smaller and more authentic camp with a real atmosphere and strong human stories. This is a completely personal project, not commercial. The documentary would also be free content for the gym and fighter to use on their social media if they want. If anyone has recommendations for gyms, fighters, trainers or regions that could fit this kind of project, I would really appréciate it 🙏 Thank you!

VR Basketball Developers - Immersive Sports Experiences & Access

Most people still think gaming and sports are separate worlds. They’re not. The future of sports is being built inside immersive experiences, virtual spaces, and interactive communities right now. 🏀🎮 And the people building it deserve more visibility. That’s exactly why we created Jams & Joysticks. Too many innovators are creating groundbreaking experiences that never get the spotlight they deserve, not because the ideas aren’t powerful… but because the right people never hear their story. So we’re changing that. 🎙️ Our newest episode features Christine Schwarz, co-founder of Virtual Round Ballers. And this conversation opens up a much bigger discussion about where gaming, fitness, sports, and VR are all heading next. ⸻ In this episode, we dive into: 🏀 How Christine went from fitness enthusiast to VR innovator 🚀 Building immersive basketball experiences in virtual reality 🧠 Why accessibility and engagement matter in sports tech 🌍 How VR can connect players of all ages and skill levels This isn’t just about gaming. It’s about the future of human interaction, sports training, entertainment, and community. And honestly… we’re only scratching the surface. ⸻ What makes conversations like this important is that innovation no longer lives only inside massive studios or billion-dollar companies. Some of the most creative ideas shaping the future are coming from independent creators, startups, developers, and visionaries building things people haven’t fully imagined yet. That’s who we want to highlight. That’s who we want the world to see. 🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eM2BWDBU ⸻ Jams & Joysticks is continuing to grow: 🌍 Expanding across the global gaming community 📺 Bringing conversations to Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and connected TV platforms 🎮 Showcasing more developers, creators, founders, and innovators 🚀 Creating a space where gaming culture, technology, and storytelling collide ⸻ So if you are: 🎮 Building a game 🥽 Innovating in VR or immersive tech 🧠 Creating new experiences in sports or gaming 🚀 Building something people need to see Let’s connect.

Women 35+ & Adults 40+ - Cortisol Management or Choosing Parenthood

Call for sources! Hey folks, I'm researching for two different articles and would love an intro to your friend/cousin/colleague/whomever that sounds like one of the below: 1. She focuses on controlling #cortisol to improve her physical or mental wellbeing. She has tried diets, fitness plans, medical advice or anything else specifically to manage cortisol. Age 35+ preferred. 2. She (he, or they) didn't want kids until their 40s, or were ambivalent about kids before 40 at which point that turned to a "yes". 3. She (he, or they) are cortisol-focused influencer/content creator with a business plan and/or POV directly related to cortisol. Looking for personal experience/anecdotes for both. DMs are fine! Thank you!
