News broke yesterday that Daisy Ridley, an actor best known for her roles in the recent Star Wars trilogy and this year’s Young Woman and the Sea, has Graves’ disease. Ridley was officially diagnosed with the autoimmune condition in September 2023, after seeing an endocrinologist about hot flashes and fatigue—symptoms not commonly associated with an otherwise healthy, active 32-year-old. In a recent interview with Women’s Health Magazine, Ridley says she initially chalked up her symptoms to a stressful role in her upcoming film Magpie, dealing with things like a racing heart, weight loss, tremors, and fatigue on a regular basis.…

Despite my best efforts to be a morning person, I’ve always preferred late afternoon and evening workouts. After finishing work, I love to shake out my desk body with some movement, then rinse off, have dinner, and get cozy for the night. Ever since I started working remotely, however, I noticed that I tend to gravitate right back to my laptop after my post-workout shower. I’m usually juiced up with new story ideas, have a lightbulb moment about that email I’ve been ignoring, or experience the opposite of writer’s block: a waterfall of words or a Carrie Bradshaw-like monologue I…
If you were able to look up the phrase “booked and busy,” in the dictionary, you’d likely find a (stunning) picture of model and entrepreneur Karlie Kloss smiling back at you. Between running Kode With Klossy—a nonprofit offering free coding classes for teen girls—and the Gateway Coalition—a collective that helps doctors in the Midwest provide health care for women—it’s safe to say the 40-time Vogue covergirl is *always* on-the-go. Oh and did we mention she’s also a mom of two?! Surely, the ultimate Karlie Kloss morning routine is the secret behind her boundless energy. To find out, Well+Good caught up…

With care, Jess x Sleep When it comes to maintaining refreshed eyes, nothing can replace the power of a…
A bed with built-in storage becomes crucial when closet space isn’t plentiful. Enter, this platform bed, which can help you maximize limited square footage. It has a large compartment underneath where you can store clothes, pillows, linens, and, according to some reviewers, even sports equipment and carry-on luggage. It lifts from the foot of the bed, eliminating the need for side clearance around its frame, and according to shoppers, the lifting mechanism makes it easy to access items even with a mattress on top. “The hydraulics make it easy to lift up and I have a heavier-than-normal queen mattress,” one…

When we think of foods high in calcium, the first thing that may come to mind is: Got milk? But according to registered dietitian Lauren Manaker, RDN, a crisp, cold glass of milk isn’t the only source of calcium for healthy bones; there are many foods that can help up your calcium intake, including plant-based ones. Finding new ways to help support bone health can especially come in handy as calcium needs change as you age or as shifts in hormones affect bone density during menopause. In fact, research shows that 1 in 2 Americans over the age of 50…
You’re not imagining it: News anxiety or news-related stress is real. In other words, just reading or hearing about what’s going on in the world outside your front door can have a direct effect on your mental health. And it’s nearly impossible to avoid, with alerts constantly at our fingertips. Indeed, according to the Pew Research Center, 86 percent of U.S. adults report consuming news on digital devices, while nearly half go to social media for news. The pressure to stay informed “can result in information overload, making it challenging to unwind and find moments of calm,” says psychologist Catherine Nobile,…
