Gwyneth Paltrow has, once again, shared a questionable wellness “hack.” Earlier this week, the Goop founder appeared on Dr. Will Cole’s The Art of Being Well podcast and had a…controversial recommendation: rectal ozone therapy. “I have used ozone therapy, rectally,” she said. “It’s pretty weird, but it’s been very helpful.” she said. To her credit, host Dr. Will Cole did ask her for the “weirdest” wellness trend she’s ever tried. Paltrow’s interview quickly received a lot of backlash on social media, mostly surrounding her intense diet and intermittent fasting schedule, so she took to IG to explain her dietary choices.…
When Athleta offered to send me some new pieces from its Hike & Explore collection, including the updated Trekkie North Jogger, I hesitated—didn’t I have enough outdoorsy pants already? But I’d heard enough good things about Athleta’s hiking gear that my interest was piqued (friends of mine have worn the brand’s pants for everything from rock climbing day trips to safaris with zero complaints).

Most people think of Alzheimer’s as an “old person’s disease” that only takes a toll on the elderly. But screenwriter and director Lauren Miller Rogen learned firsthand that’s not always the case when her mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at age 55, (Miller Rogen was still in her 20s). Taking care of her mother at such a young age turned out to be incredibly isolating. “I will never forget finally mustering the courage to attend a support group, only to find that I was the youngest participant by decades and the only one who wasn’t caring for a…
