GOOD HOUSEKEEPING NUTRITIONIST APPROVED WHAT I DO AT GH I handle all nutrition-related content, testing and evaluation — from food and weight-loss trends to decoding label claims and new products. I’m also involved in the assessment of GH Seal applications in the Food space. PROUDEST MOMENT When we launched GH Nutritionist Approved last year. This program, which I oversee, helps clear up food confusion about what’s actually nutritious and what just has clever marketing. When you shop, look for the Emblem (above) to find items that make it easy to eat healthier — without sacrificing taste, time or money. TOP NUTRITION TIP Eat dessert. If you don’t give in to your sweet tooth regularly, you’re primed to dive headfirst into that brownie pan later on. Deprivation is a recipe for…

In the last 10 years or so, there have been more than a handful of movies and TV shows about the inside workings of magazines — Trainwreck, 13 Going On 30, Lipstick Jungle, The Devil Wears Prada and Ugly Betty, to name a few. As you can imagine, I’ve watched them all. And while most are very entertaining and even get one or two things right, in no way do they reflect what goes on at Good Housekeeping (or any other magazine I’ve worked at!). What we do at GH, day in and day out, is focus on making pages we think you will find interesting, inspiring, beautiful and useful. We love to hear from you when we actually surprise and delight as intended. That’s why, in this issue, our…

GUEST EDITOR Strong women empower other women. I love the idea of elevating women, because we’re still trying to reach equality, but we aren’t there yet. If we can show all these amazing things that women can do, it gives other women and girls role models to look up to and think, I could be like that entertainer or lawyer or entrepreneur or mom who chooses to stay home. It changes their aspirations of who they can be. [Get inspired yourself by our 2017 Awesome Women winners, page 67.] We all need (and need to be) role models. I had some amazing teachers, like Mrs. Bauer in high school. She brought computers into the school when most schools didn’t even know what they were. She was also raising three boys…

Check out the fun stuff we’ve been up to (and planning for you!) at Good Housekeeping SPOTLIGHT ON: WE We’re thrilled to announce that WE, founded in 1995, is the first charity organization to earn the GH Humanitarian Seal. WE is a unique global nonprofit with offices in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Its mission is simple: Bring people (especially kids and young adults) together and give them the tools to change the world through everyday actions, big and small.

WE believes that when we come together, we can create an even better world. Flip…
