Mark Lewis is an advocate for participating in clinical trials. As a person who is immunocompromised and has been a Mayo Clinic patient for decades, he hopes to inspire others to join clinical trials for “the greater good.” Lewis has lived with Crohn’s disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) marked by inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, since he was in high school in the mid-1970s. He’s struggled with debilitating symptoms. Now, he’s come a long way, learning to manage his symptoms and lead a healthier life. He says research and education were a big part of his…
As strong as your wellness game may be, we all tend to have a spot or two where we toe outside the lines of our vision of a healthy lifestyle. For instance, you might eat lots of fruits and veggies… but could use some help in the stress management department. Or maybe you take hot girl walks on the daily… but also can’t resist polishing off a bottle of wine once you clock out each Friday—and, like clockwork, wake up with a pounding headache, body aches, and dry mouth each Saturday morning. On this last point, you (all of us?)…

As you age through your 30s, 40s, and 50s, maintaining strength and mobility across your body is vital to ensure you can sustain a high-quality, independent lifestyle and maximize your “golden year.” Resistance training is a key component in keeping your body healthy and strong into your 50s. However, certain exercises may cause unnecessary stress on the joint in your arms and shoulders. In some cases, performing these common exercises can do more harm than good—especially if you already have a history of injuries to these areas of your body. Today, you’ll learn about seven exercises that are too hard…
Nearly four months after Bruce Willis’s family announced that he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that affects a person’s ability to use or understand written or spoken language, the actor’s daughter, Tallulah Willis, is sharing her perspective on her father’s decline—including the symptoms that, in hindsight, were early signs of his condition.“I’ve known that something was wrong for a long time,” the 29-year-old wrote in an emotional essay for Vogue. “It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Speak up! Die Hard messed with Dad’s ears.’”The February statement that…
It’s hard to say whether marathon training contributed to those flare, but my doctor and I agree that they’ve historically happened at high-stress times. Going off to college, studying abroad, getting a promotion, and moving all brought on symptoms. Marathon training can obviously fit that bill, but I wanted to give it another shot. I hadn’t had a major flare in a few years, mainly because I found a medication that works for me. I also have an amazing gastroenterologist, who’s actually a fellow marathoner. He understands how important running is for me, for both my physical and mental well-being, so we’ve worked together…
The Hoka Zinal has been a longtime favorite at Runner’s World for its responsiveness on and off the trail. The trail runners are more than $30 off right now, and they just might help you PR. They’re built for fast-paced runs on lighter trails so you can burst your short distance times.While the lugs help you dig in on dirt, the relatively shorter, less obtrusive design mixed with the overall lighter shoe design allows for easy movement on pavement.Test editor Amanda Furrer described the shoes by saying, “Though the Zinal wouldn’t be our top pick for technical trails (i.e., fallen…
With more ways than ever to measure metrics—core temperature, HRV, oxygen saturation, sweat rate, heart rate and, of course, speed—some athletes feel like they just can’t train without data feedback. “If you can measure it, you can improve it,” the saying goes. “Data is part of the game,” Fabian Cancellara said on Wednesday at the Tudor Boutique in New York City, where he led a ride for the cycling community. But only part. Whether you’re an amateur, a pro, or, as Cancellara is now, the leader of the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, cycling is still, when it comes down to…
Face it: When it comes to sleep, diet and exercise, we don’t always take care of ourselves as well as we should. It’s hard, because life gets in the way—doubly so if we have a busy work life. But whether it’s convenient or not, maintaining our health should come before our daily to-do’s. Why? Because if we are healthy, we can experience improved workplace performance and well-being. For the most health benefits, get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, find 20 to 30 minutes a day to exercise, and stick to foods that love your body back.Let’s cover the…
Ever since former Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick created his vision out of a jiu-jitsu belt and parachute webbing, suspension trainers like the TRX have become commonplace in gyms and homes worldwide. It’s convenience—an entire gym in a bag—arguably created the fitness phenomenon of taking your workout anywhere you go, thereby eliminating any excuses for not training. The biggest knock against suspension training is that it will not get any stronger after a certain point because you only use body weight, leverage, and gravity. But if you use suspension training as part of your accessory routine, you can strengthen your weakness…
