Photo courtesy of: Petar Dopchev Visuals Wayne Clark grew up on a horse farm in New Paltz, New York. In seventh grade, he started cross-country running and Nordic skiing. Sports defined his life. He was good at them and loved being active. Then came the pain in both hips – something that would shift his plans for his life. The pain got worse over time, especially during the running season. He saw several doctors. He was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, a deformity in the curved part of the pelvis that forms the socket of the hip joint. Doctors told Wayne,…
Digging into some juicy pineapple is one of my favorite summer pastimes. I’d like to eat an entire bowl of it—and then go back for another serving and maybe even a third. What’s holding me back? I mostly limit myself because anytime I devour the tangy fruit, it triggers the most annoying stinging sensation on my tongue.And I know I’m not alone; I’ve come across countless videos of people sharing similar tingly experiences. Most often, they blame a pesky enzyme in pineapple as the main cause of all that suffering. But recently I stumbled across another possibility: A TikTok claiming…

Intuitive eating, or listening to your body and its cues around food, is an increasingly-popular framework for nutrition. It draws people in who are interested in giving up dieting and want to finally make peace with food without neglecting their health. Oftentimes, people’s disordered relationships with food parallel their relationships with movement. They may be caught up in all-or-nothing thoughts and behaviors, follow rigid rules, and act in a way that is totally disconnected from their bodies’ cues. For that reason, practicing intuitive eating often promotes intuitive movement—a more attuned, self-compassionate approach to physical activity. So, why practice intuitive eating?…

Now that we’ve established that strength training is king—or shall we say “queen”—we spoke with Katie Kollath, ACE-CPT and co-founder of Barpath Fitness, who shares five strength exercises for women to get firm and lean in their 40s. “Strength training targets specific…
Cortisol is the Lisa Rinna of hormones—involved in everybody’s business and always getting blamed for the drama (RHOBH fans know!). To be fair, the stuff *is* connected to your body’s fight-or-flight response (there’s a reason it’s nicknamed “the stress hormone”). But cortisol also has a role in almost every major organ system, from brain function to joint and immune health. It regulates metabolism. It works with insulin to keep your blood sugar stable. It helps quell inflammation. Notice a trend? It’s not all bad! In an age of rampant burnout, cortisol imbalance has become wellness gurus’ favorite scapegoat for all…
I became a bidet enthusiast when I traveled to Japan and realized just how game-changing they can be. I used self-cleaning models with heated seats, warm water (so good), deodorizers, and even music you can play to mask sounds.
