Irritability is a common side effect of heat. A heat wave is affecting parts of the U.S., including much of the Southwest, through the Southeast and parts of Europe.

Picture this: You’re in the middle of a marathon that you’re sure you’ve paced correctly (no going out too fast!), yet a wave of fatigue makes it feel as if you’ve been sprinting for the past 10 miles. Another one: You’re strength training and despite planning just a 20-minute session, you’re already gassed at the end of your first set. Dealing with this kind of fatigue is common, and it can tank performance or even set you up for injury. For example, slogging through the second half of that marathon even though you feel wiped out can affect your form…
Costco’s price tags can tell you much more than how much a product costs. For example, Costco insiders know that whenever you spot the “death star” asterisk in the upper right corner of a price tag, that means a product won’t be restocked once it’s sold out. And while the death star on a beloved product spells bad news for customers, some have been celebrating the fact that Costco recently added the asterisk of doom to a controversial beverage. Over the last couple of weeks, several pictures of Bud Light shelves marked with the death star have emerged on social…
Extreme heat continues to cause issues across the country and the globe. Excessive heat warnings are out in many areas, including the Phoenix area where the forecast is for highs approaching 120-degrees this weekend.

I recently saw an ad on social media by one of the big online therapy directories. In it, two women are discussing therapy. One says that she is trying it, but she isn’t sure she likes the therapist. Still, she feels like she needs to stick it out. “Why?” says the other. “You aren’t married to them!” The message is, there may be someone out there that is better for you, so why put up with someone with whom you feel “meh”? Pick the Right Therapist for Your Current Concerns And this may, in fact, be true. Not every therapist…
