Have you had your bone broth today? There’s a reason so many health professionals and nutrition-obsessed celebs drink bone broth on the daily—even throughout the summer. What many don’t realize is that one cup of bone broth can contain up to 20 grams of protein, not to mention collagen, minerals and electrolytes. This ain’t your mamas cup o’ soup!Bone broth may look like regular soup stock, but in fact, it is one of the most nutrient-dense snacks around. That’s why we weren’t phased by Gwyneth Paltrow’s recent brothy lunch fiasco that received so much criticism. (She has also since clarified that:…
The following story contains some light spoilers for Secret Invasion, through Episode 3, “Betrayed.” PART OF what makes for a good superhero story—or, really, any kind of narrative thrill ride—is a good villain. And one thing that makes a good villain is gradually revealing their motivations, ramping up just how unhinged they are while lowering their commitment to any kind of a personal code, and, if it can be done in an organic way, increasing their powers and abilities to make a truly formidable challenge for our heroes. This gives the developing conflict we’re investing our time into watching (or…
The mountain lodge-style sports bar-slash-restaurant Twin Peaks was founded in Texas in 2005, making it a relative newcomer to the “breastaurant” category. You probably know the hallmarks of this sort of restaurant: the kind that is primarily staffed by young women sporting revealing uniforms—and that also serves food. This distinctive genre is largely dominated by Hooters, the nearly 40-year-old chain with 305 current locations across America, per data from ScrapeHero. But Twin Peaks is poised to grow and, in due time, perhaps to surpass its older rival in terms of size and sales. As of May 2023, there are 100 Twin Peaks locations…
Where you live, what you eat and how much you drink may tell healthcare professionals more about your risk of developing kidney stones than you think. Dr. Ivan Porter II, a Mayo Clinic nephrologist, describes intense weather areas, such as the South and Southwest, as the kidney stone belt. This is where research shows kidney stones are more prevalent. Dehydration in these hot climates, combined with certain diets, are increasing risks that can result in the pain of kidney stones. Additionally, Mayo Clinic researchers concluded that diets with daily intake of calcium and potassium may help prevent first-time or recurrent…

Cynthia Weiss at work at Mayo Clinic. I was 33 when I first began experiencing aches and pains that led me to the doctor. It was 2003. I was never married, never pregnant, generally healthy and living life to the fullest. I didn’t expect a cancer diagnosis. The doctor told me I had stage 4 gynecologic cancer. Cervical or ovarian cancer? They couldn’t be 100% sure, as medical technology was not as advanced back then. Tests seemed to indicate cervical cancer, so I was given the choice of radiation therapy or a hysterectomy. After some soul-searching — and an appointment with a fertility specialist about freezing my eggs…

It may feel uncomfortable to talk about low libido with your partner and your healthcare team. Unfortunately, it’s a common problem that affects adults everywhere, yet many people have never been asked about their sexual health by their healthcare teams.

This is the persistent or recurrent deficiency or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. It’s often…

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I’m a homebuilder and have begun experiencing numbness and tingling in my hands. Sometimes I drop things because I can’t get a good grip.
