GETTING LAID OFF—or even just worrying that you could lose your job—is an emotional and uncertain time. You’re likely dealing with financial fallout and the stress of finding a new job, and agonizing over what the future holds. More people are worried about getting laid off these days, too.

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter has been diagnosed with dementia. A family statement, posted on The Carter Center website, says that she continues to live happily at home with her husband, enjoying spring in Plains, Georgia, and visits with loved ones. The statement goes on to say that it’s hoped that sharing the family’s news will increase important conversations at kitchen tables and in doctor’s offices around the country. More than 55 million people worldwide are believed to be living with dementia, according to the World Health Organization. And women are likely to be twice as affected by dementia as men. Dementia…

If you’ve already started looking, you know that mattresses can be really, really expensive. But since your back isn’t going to be impressed by a price tag, there’s no need to spend more than even $400 on a mattress if it isn’t in your budget right now. At $260 for a queen size, this Sleep Innovations mattress is proof of that. Note: Orthopedic spine surgeon Payam Farjoodi, MD, advises that you try out a mattress before you decide to keep it.

When it comes to getting into shape, you have a ton of different options. From cardio equipment to weights such as barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells, it can sometimes be hard to decide what makes the most sense for your specific goals. Furthermore, in my training experience, many clients do not have access to traditional exercise equipment and may also avoid the gym for comfort or logistical reasons.
