If you’ve experienced ongoing digestive issues, you know certain foods can wreak havoc on your gut and cause all sorts of unpleasant symptoms — like chronic stomach pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. It can be hard to pinpoint exactly which foods are making you feel miserable, but researchers have found that an elimination diet called the low-FODMAP diet may help relieve digestive discomfort by identifying the foods most likely to trigger it. Obviously, if you’re experiencing serious gastrointestinal problems, you should seek the guidance of a qualified professional. But if you’re wondering whether a low-FODMAP diet can help you beat the…
Thanks for sharing that. It’s important to highlight the difference between sport psychology, which focuses a lot on performance, and the clinical side, which is about more general mental health. Some therapists do both, but there’s a distinction.They do leak into each other a lot, and for athletes, it’s easy to think, “I’m taking care of everything I need to because I’m talking with my sport psych.” But for me, there’s been a lot of personal strife over the years, and things that surface that actually don’t relate to the sport at all. The sport, skiing, is where I feel…
Another strategy: Return to a genre you adored as a kid or teenager to hopefully recapture some of that childlike enchantment. (YA fantasy, anybody?) Or look for a modern take on an old favorite. “We’re in a golden age of retellings,” Koven-Matasy says.3. Start with breezy reads.“I really gotta stress, try reading a short book first,” says Koven-Matasy. You wouldn’t stroll into the gym for the first time in six months and go straight for the 200-pound barbell. So if you haven’t worked your reading muscles in a minute, maaaybe don’t start with War and Peace. Slim novellas, fluffy beach…

By engaging with the athletes and even taking part in the…
Life throws curveballs at everyone, and kids are no exception. From navigating social pressures and academic demands to dealing with family changes and personal struggles, childhood can be a rollercoaster of emotions. Just like we take our children to the doctor for physical checkups, it’s equally important to prioritize their mental well-being. Child therapy is a safe and supportive space where children can explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and learn to navigate the challenges they face. It’s not just for kids with serious mental health diagnoses; therapy can benefit children of all ages and backgrounds. Signs Your Child…
Freelancers often hear advice about landing clients and keeping them happy, but what about when the relationship has run its course? Maybe the work isn’t aligned with your goals anymore. Maybe the pay doesn’t match the effort. Or maybe the client insists on 2 a.m. emails titled “URGENT!!!!” when it’s not. Whatever the reason, parting ways with a client can feel like walking a tightrope between professionalism and self-preservation. With 64 million Americans now freelancing—including 52% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials—client relationships are at the heart of the gig economy. But knowing how to exit gracefully is just…
IBF World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Dubois is set to defend his title against Joseph Parker on Saturday and in a recent video has shown that he’s certainly not a one dimensional fighter. In Episode 9 of DAZN on the Ground, available on YouTube, Dubois says he began training from the age of around seven years old, not only with boxing but also getting involved in swimming and athletics. In the video, Dubois is shown warming up with a weighted helmet to perform neck presses, before hitting the bag. Alongside his father, Stan, the team then took a trip down memory lane,…
There’s no way around it: Berries are good for you. So good, in fact, that their potential benefits have been captured in supplement form. Now, instead of receiving confused looks from an overwhelmed farmer’s market clerk, you can head to your pharmacy or supplement store for some uncommon favorites like açaí, elderberry, and even bilberry! Before we get into bilberry’s benefits, let’s cover the basics. What Is Bilberry? Also known as the European blueberry or whortleberry, bilberry contains anthocyanins as well as phenolic acids, which are credited with a majority of its health benefits. It’s similar in appearance to its close relative, the…
Your choice of pants can make all the difference on how your day goes. Think about it: a pair that’s too tight, stiff, and constricting makes it difficult to move around comfortably — not to mention, it sounds like a nightmare if you need to wear them for a long period of time. While jeans are a practical option for all-day wear, the truth is they’re not always as comfy as a pair of sweatpants or leggings. That’s why, I’m always searching for flattering pants that offer comfort and style, which is how I found the $20 JZC Palazzo Lounge…
November 12, 2024 By Leanne Vogel February 4, 2025 TranscriptLeanne Vogel [00:00:00] I never thought that I would use my OURA ring as much as I do for just determining nervous system function. But when your pulse is elevated and your HRV is low, that is a sign that your nervous system is massively dysregulated. And that is just like a fight or flight situation that’s challenging to get out of, especially in mold. And the other concern you have with acute mold situations is master cell activation, which happens quite quickly after an exposure and can cause this cascade…
