It's a new year, and according to Pew, 79% of resolutions are about one thing, health.

But there are so many fads around how to keep ourselves healthy.

On It's Been a Minute, I'm helping you understand why some of today's biggest wellness trends are, well, trending.

Like, why is there protein in everything?

Join me as we uncover what's healthy and what's not on the It's Been a Minute podcast from

NPR. Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Shea Stevens. The U.S. Labor Department's report on

hiring in January is due out this morning. As NPR Scott Horsley reports, forecasters expect to see somewhat smaller job gains

than the month before. The U.S. job market ended last year on a high note. An initial tally

January. Most forecasters expect today's report will show a somewhat slower pace of hiring

as the new year got underway. Today's report will also incorporate new population estimates,

taking account of higher immigration in recent years than had previously been expected.
