A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Natural Grocers (Lakewood, CO), the Center for Food Safety (CFS) and other plaintiffs challenging U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rules under the Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard Act. Natural Grocers led the lawsuit to “uphold consumers’ right to clear, accurate and easily accessible information about their food.” According to the company, the decision overturns three major loopholes that “would have kept consumers in the dark.” Retailers and brands may use “GMO [genetically modified organism],” which consumers widely recognize. Previous USDA rules focused on the exclusive use of the term “bioengineered,” a term the…
Key Takeaways The “liking gap” is when people believe others like them less than they actually do.Low self-esteem, social anxiety, and self-criticism can make the liking gap feel more intense.These patterns can negatively affect relationships, but there are healthy ways to cope. Have you ever thought that someone disliked you, but then received a party invite from them or heard through the grapevine that they said something positive about you? Misjudging how others perceive you and assuming that they don’t like you when they actually do is what psychologists call a “liking gap.” How Your Brain Convinces You Others Don’t Like…
I coughed up a big gulp of salt water and desperately reached for my surfboard. Another missed wave. At this point I was so far from shore and too exhausted to keep trying. My best friend Jasmine stayed out in the water with our surfing instructor, while I paddled back to shore out of breath and defeated. I’d heard Costa Rica was one of the best places for surfing, but so far, the ocean was getting the best of me.I don’t shy away from the label “fitness fanatic.” I’ve been a group fitness instructor for a decade, run eight marathons,…
We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The JBL Charge 6 is waterproof, dust-proof, and drop-resistant—and it’s selling right now for $129.95 on Woot—$70 off its usual $199.95 listing on Amazon. That deal runs for the next six days (or until it sells out), and Prime members get free shipping. It includes a 90-day limited warranty through Woot, which is shorter than JBL’s standard coverage but still decent. That said, it ships without a charging brick or USB-C cable, which feels like an oversight at this…
“OTC eye drops, like artificial tears, may supplement tear film temporarily, but they do not treat the underlying cause of dry eye,” explains Ragha. So, you might find yourself reaching for those drops every hour, which can be tedious, Ragha points out. Many OTC products also have preservatives, which can cause eye irritation if you use them too often, according to Orr.

If you are attentive, you will see it.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh I want to shine a light on something that often gets overlooked in both the medical world and the mental health space. Something I didn’t have a name for until I lived through it myself. I call it joy deficiency. If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve felt it too. Maybe you’re living with Crohn’s, like I am. Maybe you’ve faced chronic migraines,…
Lots of us start a new year with good intentions. Perhaps you’ve vowed to eat more fruit and veg, drink more water (this one’s mine), cook more from scratch or cut down on sugar, caffeine or alcohol. But then a few weeks pass, the novelty wears off and suddenly sticking to those early resolutions can feel like a mammoth task.The good news is, falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you’ve failed – sometimes you might just need a small nudge to get things moving again.If your new-year health goals need a revival, I’ve made it a little easier for you…
It’s not cute or glamorous, but nail fungus happens—especially to those who love to move and hit the gym. Nail fungal infections, aka onychomycosis (say that three times fast), are fairly common. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, they occur in 10 percent of the general population, 20 percent of people older than 60 years old, and 50 percent of those older than 70. Toenail infections are fungal infections that spread from skin-to-skin contact or skin-to-surface contact. “Fungus live in warm, moist environments, such as sweaty feet, moist socks, public gyms, public showers, and hotel rooms, as well…
We didn’t see this coming! When Brew Shockalaka launched their Coffee Evolved line in 2025, we thought they’d carved out their niche: zero-sugar nootropic coffee for people who wanted more from their morning brew. Brew Shockalaka Tea Evolved delivers zero-sugar nootropic tea with 200mg natural caffeine, 1,000mg taurine, L-theanine, and CognatiQ. Built on brewed tea instead of coffee. But Max Fairchild and the Brew Shock team just dropped something completely unexpected: Tea Evolved, a zero-sugar nootropic tea that mirrors the Coffee Evolved formula with one key difference — it’s built on a foundation of brewed tea instead of coffee. This…
