When I recently handed a bar bouncer my driver’s license, I was hoping he’d tell me he couldn’t believe I was in my 30s. Instead, he took one look and said, “Oh man, a Gemini? I would never date one of you.” In the moment, it was the last thing I expected to come out of his mouth—and it left me feeling genuinely offended. But I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised; I’ve been dealing with this kind of zodiac shaming my entire life, as one of the star signs that people love to hate. Case in point? In a nationally representative 2021…

Israel has every right to defend itself and fight terrorists. But is this really the best way?

You’ve probably heard about red light therapy (RLT) before. After all, it’s a highly popular wellness trend that has steadily been growing in popularity over the years.  The origins of RLT can be traced back to the late 20th century when NASA first used LED technology to grow plants in space. Since then, its potential applications have expanded, venturing into the worlds of dermatology and general healthcare.  But what exactly is red light therapy, and why has it become such a hit? Let’s unravel the mystery and shed some light on this intriguing topic. What Is Red Light Therapy?  Red…

Oct. 26, 2023 – Companies marketing expensive and unproven stem cell therapies are targeting patients with long COVID – an often debilitating condition that to date has no proven treatments, according to a report published today.Researchers identified 38 direct-to-consumer businesses selling purported stem cell therapies to prevent and treat the virus – 36 of which also claim to treat post-COVID syndrome. “There’s an important opportunity here for regulators to understand there are still quite a number of businesses making problematic advertising claims,” said Leigh Turner, PhD, the first author of a study on the issue and a bioethics professor at the…

The secret to my sweet treat is mindbodygreen’s beauty & gut collagen in chocolate. To achieve the rich, rich chocolate flavor, the formula uses organic cocoa derived from cacao trees in South America, East Africa, and the Dominican Republic. These high-quality cocoa beans have been roasted and ground to retain the highest nutritional value. Then it’s sweetened with 100% pure monk fruit. Also known as luo han guo and “Buddha fruit,” this sweetener has been used as a natural antioxidant for centuries in Chinese medicine. In pure forms (like that in our blend, i.e., organic monk fruit extract) are fermented from…

Re-sharing this post because it’s a yearly staple for us and I know so many of you love them, too!!

Let the avalanche of all things pumpkin continue. I feel like this year, a lot of people are playing it cool when it comes to pumpkin. You know, trying not to act *too* excited about its arrival. (Also it could totally be the fact that many of us are still experiencing true…

For a while, the pandemic was a valid excuse for buying online. To avoid spreading the virus, housebound Americans inflamed their long-growing dependency on e-commerce, with online sales increasing by 43 percent in 2020. Now, New York, like everywhere else, has moved on from social distancing: Subway ridership is up and mostly unmasked, and tourism’s certainly back. But our retail sector’s recovery lags the nation’s. New Yorkers — though largely stuck in small apartments you’d think they’d love to escape — have become too accustomed to the convenience of sedentary buying. Online shopping remains the default.The Manhattan borough president, Mark…

Imagine this: It’s a crisp autumn afternoon. A breeze is blowing crunchy leaves off the trees. There’s a fire in the fireplace. You’re wearing your comfiest sweater. Maybe a pumpkin candle burns in the background. It’s perfect, right? Not quite. The only thing this idyllic scene needs to achieve fall perfection is a pot of soup simmering on the stove. Soup is the ultimate one-pot meal, but that’s not all it has going for it. There’s a reason you crave soup when you’re coming down with a cold or flu. Bone broth and other common soup ingredients like garlic and…

We understand that effective diets must be customized and take into account the complete individual. Before transitioning to a new nutrition plan, it would be prudent to seek advice from a healthcare practitioner or licensed dietitian; especially if you are managing any chronic illnesses. Adopting a nutritious, well-rounded diet is an aim many aspire towards. This ambition holds great merit for health-related benefits nonetheless, interpretations of “healthy” and “balanced,” vary from person to person. Usually, such diets are rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables besides lean meat sources and healthy fats. Using meal plans can greatly assist in proper…
