Explore the SHOP ICYMI, we’re pretty big Hoka fans here at Well+Good. The brand’s lineup of running and lifestyle shoes are supportive, approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, and cute to boot (er, sneaker?). So when we found out Hoka was partnering with Reformation—another brand we adore—we practically squealed. Hoka…
This one is a big one for you, lovebirds. The new moon eclipse in Libra is coming to shake up every aspect of our lives, but it’ll focus especially on relationships. Lucky us, huh? And while it’s happening on October 2, 2024 at 2:49 pm ET, we’ve actually been feeling the energy (and living through its astrological consequences) since July 2023—and it won’t officially end until January 2025. If you’re new to the mystical (and confusing) world of astrology, let me break it down for you: Eclipses have great significance in our lives, mostly because the moon has great significance.…
Eclipse season is in full swing (!) and comes to a dramatic crescendo on October 2 at 2:49 p.m. ET, under the new moon solar eclipse in Libra. Solar eclipses mark a season of fated change and typically coincide with new beginnings in our lives. However, in order to create space for new opportunities or connections, an ending of sorts is usually also co-present. Coming through in the sign of Libra, these fresh starts highlight our closest ties and the reciprocity in our connections. People you meet around this time can feel fated or karmic, and if you choose to…
Actor Shailene Woodley is opening up about multiple debilitating symptoms she experienced while filming the popular Divergent films several years ago. The 32-year-old shares her health battles on the latest episode of the SHE MD podcast. “I haven’t spoken about what exactly it was because that feels like a personal thing that I don’t need to disclose,” Woodley tells the podcast hosts. “But essentially…in my early 20s…It got to the point where I was losing my hearing. I couldn’t walk for longer than five minutes at a time without having to lay down for hours and hours and hours and…
Two questions run through your mind when your kid starts throwing up from a stomach bug. Number one: What’s the best way to clean and contain the mess? And number two: Am I going to be puking tomorrow, too? Turns out, the second question depends on how you answer the first. In other words, learning what kills the norovirus can help you avoid catching it yourself. Norovirus, also known as the stomach flu or stomach bug, is basically spread through close contact with a sick person. More specifically, when tiny germ particles inside vomit or feces are transmitted into someone…

A training bra—a lacy triangle one with a little blue satin bow in the middle—but still a bra, nonetheless. And ever since, my hunt for the perfect bra to shape, lift, and support my bigger 36DD chest has…
Feeling a bit run down on your running training? Try reverse sprint intervals, a workout method that adds an unconventional challenge to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the road, trail, or treadmill. And no, we’re not talking about running backward. Typically, in sprint interval training, you’ll run for a set amount of time and then rest, progressing your effort to getting faster and faster each interval. Or you might do something called a pyramid workout, where you ladder up to a top speed and then climb back down the ladder. Reverse sprint intervals are basically only the second half of the…
A few minutes before the modern dance class began, I felt it was important to level set some expectations with the teacher. “Just so you know, the last time I was in dance, I was dressed like a tiger and pulled another girl’s tail off during our Father’s Day recital. Not surprisingly, I was not invited back. Also, I was 7 years old,” I said sheepishly. The teacher, as full of effortless grace while standing still as she was when moving, nodded in understanding and assured me this was an all-levels class, also joking that our lack of costumes may…

When I was 22, I caught the “high school kissing disease,” mononucleosis (aka mono or glandular fever). I was traveling at the time, and as soon as I got home I just knew I wasn’t just dealing with jet lag—something wasn’t right. A quick trip to my doctor and a blood test confirmed I had active mono in my system. The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is the most common cause of mono, and, as it turns out, EBV is incredibly common. In fact, 95 percent of Americans get EBV by the age of 35. However, not everyone with EBV gets mono—some just…
