This mushroom and kale quiche is a savory vegetarian quiche made with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, tender kale, eggs, milk, and cheese baked in a flaky crust — perfect for meal prep, brunch, or freezing for later. The only thing more satisfying than pulling a homemade quiche from the oven is pulling two from the oven at the same time! One for this week, one for the freezer for another busy stretch ahead. Future you will be so grateful. Batch cooking quiche is such a win for meal prep. I started doing this double batched quiche last fall, and I hope…
Dementia isn’t just a brain disease—and it likely never was.
If you’re not familiar with plantar fasciitis, know this: It is painful! “Plantar Fasciitis can cause extreme pain in the center of the heel and also radiate into the arch,” says Timothy Oldani, D.P.M., FACFAS, a podiatrist at Missouri Foot and Ankle.Plantar fasciitis is a fairly common foot condition. “It’s caused by repetitive strain on the plantar fascia, and footwear plays a major role in both symptom relief and long term recovery,” says Bobby Pourziaee, D.P.M., ‘The High Heel Doctor’ and board-certified foot and ankle surgeon.That said, Mikel Daniels, D.P.M., President and Chief Medical Officer at We Treat Feet Podiatry,…
Nothing takes me back to childhood like a taste of the sodas I used to drink. In my house, sugary sodas were verboten, but sneaking a sip of my best friend’s pop on Friday afternoons after middle school tasted like sweet, sweet freedom (and just a little bit of teenage rebellion). Her favorite was always Dr Pepper, with its subtle notes of vanilla and its signature 23 spices, and thus, it quickly became my favorite, too. These days, Dr Pepper is popping up more outside the soda aisle than inside it, with all kinds of collaborations ranging from the sweet…
If you have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) , and especially if you have obstructive HCM that reduces blood flow out of your heart, you and your doctor may discuss ways to lower your risk of sudden cardiac death . One option is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). There are two main types of these devices for HCM, and one may be better for you than the other. “Both serve the same purpose: monitoring heart rhythm and delivering shocks to stop dangerous heart rhythms and prevent sudden cardiac death,” says Ryan Gindi, MD , a cardiologist with Henry Ford Health in Detroit.…

There are other things you can do to make sure you’re prepared for HCM symptom changes.Create an Action PlanCollaborate with your cardiologist on an action plan that gives you a roadmap for what you should do in different symptom scenarios.“A personalized plan helps patients understand what can be monitored at home, what should trigger a call to their cardiology team, and what requires emergency care,” Dr. Shah says.Keep a JournalJotting down your symptoms in a notebook or your phone’s Notes app can make it easier to notice when changes occur, Gindi says.

About once a year, three wonderful friends and I get together for a meal. Sometimes we host it at someone’s house. Sometimes we go to a restaurant. This year, I hosted the dinner at my home and kept it pretty simple. I made a vegetarian lasagna with no-bake lasagna noodles. My friends brought cocktails, bread, and salad. I pulled a few bottles of wine out of the cellar. The morning before the dinner, I panicked a little. I wondered if I should have something to nibble on before we dig into the meal. I knew that whatever I made had…
A long-term study found men’s heart disease risk begins diverging from women’s at age 35.Men reached major heart disease milestones seven to 10 years earlier than women.Lifestyle factors didn’t fully explain why men developed heart disease earlier. You probably didn’t expect your 35th birthday to come with a recommendation to see a cardiologist. After all, heart disease feels like something that happens to folks in their 50s or 60s, not people in their mid-30s. But new research suggests that for men, this milestone birthday might be exactly when it’s time to start paying closer attention to cardiovascular health, even if…
