Most important, he needs to be his best version for his young daughter who’s going needs her dad escorting her to school each morning. And appearance-wise, by looking at him onstage rocking a tank top while banging out the dozens of rock classics the band has delivered since the ’80s, Rzeznik’s  still-shredded biceps at this age are the opposite of similar age…

And truth be told, you don’t mind making weekend meals the same way, either. Slow cooker dinners are your solution when you’re short on time (and energy).

Protein is also more thermogenic than carbohydrates and fats (meaning it requires more energy…

The general consensus (right now, at least) is that it’s most common to test positive four days after your symptoms appear. According to a report from researchers at Emory University published in the fall of 2023, this is when your viral load, or the amount of virus harboring in your nasal passages, is at its highest, and therefore, most detectable, on an at-home test. This is slightly later than when people produced positive test results a year or two ago—with Omicron and Delta, for example, your test tended to show a positive two to three days after your symptoms popped…

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is common, but it can be serious. “Simple urinary tract infections can be managed by your primary care provider, but when they become complex leading to other issues or problems, you should seek the care of a specialist,” says Dr. Mitchell Humphreys, a urologist at Mayo Clinic.

The ladies met in a pink-lit fitness studio while straddling large spinning contraptions I had never seen before (that neither one of them knew what to do with).After aggressively searching the internet, I discovered that the real estate queens were visiting Cosmo Contour, an under-the-radar infrared fitness studio here in L.A. The body sculpting studio claimed to transform, heal, and repair the body in just 30 minutes. Now that’s some serious multitasking.Given that I’m obsessed with all…

Bile duct cancer, also known as cholangiocarcinoma, forms in the thin tubes that carry bile from your liver to your gallbladder and small intestine.

In a review article published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology in 2023, lead author Sumera I. Ilyas, M.B.B.S., and co-authors share advances in diagnosing, staging and treating bile duct cancer.

Holograms and virtual reality (VR) headsets can be part of a great gaming experience. But did you know that the same technology can make for a better healthcare experience too? Dr. Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo, a Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeon, explains how, for the first time ever, mixed reality played a vital role in a recent shoulder surgery he performed. Shoulder arthroplasty, or shoulder replacement surgery, is a complex procedure where damaged bone is replaced by metal and plastic implants. Computer software helps doctors create a surgical plan as to where those implants should be placed. Watch: The Mayo Clinic Minute Journalists:…
