Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes skin cells to multiply too fast, leaving behind itchy, scaly patches. But there are a number of ways the estimated 125 million people worldwide who have psoriasis experience it.

Even one day of having your period can feel like plenty long enough, especially if you’re dealing with lingering premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, like cramps, bloating, headaches, or menstrually related migraines. (Not to mention the sheer inconvenience of taking several more bathroom breaks than you’d usually take.) But if your period lasts longer than a week, or you’re soaking through menstrual products at a rapid rate, it’s natural to wonder whether something is off with your cycle—and to vent about the number of tampons you’re going through per month. (After all, they’re not cheap, and the discriminatory tampon tax is…

No matter where you are in the world, the message of this holiday is meaningful. It’s a moment to gather with loved ones, to give thanks for the blessings we’ve received throughout the year, and of course, enjoy an abundance of delicious food.

Each month, a new trainer takes us through four of the best workouts they have in their back pocket. Follow along weekly for new ways to sweat it out with us. See All Dumbbells might hog most of the attention on the gym floor, but kettlebells can be unsung heroes.
