Women Special

I’ve been writing about health for years and have coached dozens of women through their health journeys . And in my experience, I’ve learned that nothing is as clickable or buzzworthy as weight loss tips. However, what makes headlines doesn’t usually pan out in everyday life, and the universal obsession with weight loss is not a sign that we’re prioritizing our health, but rather that we don’t feel worthy as we are. If you clicked on this article expecting the usual “Eat less sugar” or “Do a HIIT workout” tips, know that that is not what this is. This is not your typical weight loss article you’ll read through and feel discouraged by at the end or forget to actually apply to your life.  And that’s because Dr. Adrienne Youdim is not your typical weight loss specialist. She isn’t telling her patients to count calories or work out more as a solution. Instead, she focuses on the “why” behind both the desire to lose weight and the inability to lose weight to help each patient achieve ...

Pretty much since birth, I’ve been on a mission to rid myself of the itchy painful patches of psoriasis plaguing my skin. From various creams and moisturizers to medicated shampoos and prescription pills that promised a cure, I’ve tried it all (my girls and guys with sensitive skin , IKYK). After years of trial and error, and testing countless creams and ointments that never worked, the one thing that helped me resolve my lifelong psoriasis was healing my gut.

I spent many months sipping on pre and probiotic...

As a wellness girlie, I’m no stranger to meditation. Over the years, I’ve read all the books, listened to all the podcasts, and tried meditation countless times, but the result has always been the same: I found it hard to focus; my brain couldn’t seem to quiet down. I decided maybe meditation just isn’t for me.

They’re easy to remember, don’t necessarily require a quiet space, and can be said anywhere at any time. After learning how much I enjoy affirmations, I wondered, “What if I could do both?” Enter: the Superhuman app . This app brings together the best of both meditation and affirmations and after seeing all my favorite influen...

Finding plus-size activewear is tough, to say the least. Everything is either too tight or too camel-toe-y or too loose or too ugly (sorry, not sorry). And honestly, having good workout clothes makes working out actually bearable for me. One of the most important parts of a good workout to me is having a good pair of leggings that don’t slip or slide and actually make me feel confident, but finding a good pair of plus-size leggings is equivalent to finding a needle in a very large haystack.

The best part about Thanksgiving is definitely gathering around the table with your family and friends—but the second best part has to be the food. Something about all those delicious traditional dishes just hits different, especially the Thanksgiving sides: mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted vegetables, stuffing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The only downside is that all this food often takes a long time to prepare, particularly if you’re a procrastinator like me and wait until the day before to decide what you’re bringing to the feast. You don’t want to bring something store-bought—Thanksgiving deserves a little more effort than that. Luckily, we’ve got your contribution covered. We’ve curated a list of Thanksgiving sides that don’t involve too much time in the kitchen but are yummy enough to impress any guest.
