If there’s one thing Will Bulsiewicz, MD, a gastroenterologist, bestselling author of The Fiber Fueled Cookbook, and U.S. medical director of Zoe, is passionate about—aside from the gut microbiome—it’s coffee. In fact, Dr. Bulsiewicz says it’s one of his two favorite gut-healthy drinks for healthy digestion that he enjoys daily. (Take that, kombucha.) But when we asked Dr. Bulsiewicz for his go-to coffee shop order, he gave us some intel that you can use when making coffee at home. The one ingredient he likes adding to his coffee: “Cinnamon,” he says. “It’s the one ingredient everyone has in their spice…

One of the bonuses of being pregnant—other than welcoming a baby into the world—is not having a period for nine-ish months (no period cramps, yay!). Still, all good things must come to an end. After you give birth, your “time of the month” will return eventually. But when exactly will you get your first period after baby? That’s a little trickier to predict. Everyone’s post-pregnancy body is on a different schedule when it comes to periods (and recovery in general, TBH—just ask our beauty editor about her postpartum skin changes). But learning about the factors that can affect your period…
May’s astrology has been full of shocks and surprises thus far, as so many planets link up with unpredictable Uranus and transformative Pluto.

Full moons in Sagittarius encourage you to consider others’ perspectives and to push yourself outside of your own comfort zone to…
On TikTok, people are testing their lower-body strength and mobility with the deceptively difficult “shrimp challenge,” often with fail-tastic results. Taking a knee for this latest viral fitness challenge involves less Smirnoff Ice and probably more falling and laughing. The test doesn’t involve seafood, either. Instead, it’s a take on the shrimp squat, which is a squat executed on one leg, while holding the foot of your other leg up to your butt behind you. The shrimp squat is hard enough, but the shrimp challenge takes it to another level. What is the shrimp challenge? The test first circulated in…

In the U.S., the average age of menopause (i.e., the end of menstruation and thus your reproductive years) is around 51. It’s a good bet, then, that menopause is the last thing on your mind in your 30s. But during this decade, your body may already begin prepping for the transition. After all, the pre-menopausal period—called perimenopause—usually happens somewhere between the ages of 35 and 45. During perimenopause, your hormone levels start to fluctuate. Not only can this mess with your periods, but it may also cause other symptoms—both physical and emotional. Because we’re all unique, this effect varies from…
