Myths about birth control have long proliferated in the US (thanks in part to the abysmal state of sex ed), but recent events have amplified their spread—namely, the rise of influencers sharing misleading information about the pill on social media and the passage of legislation threatening access to various kinds of contraception.These misconceptions can have far-reaching repercussions, for instance putting people at risk for unintended pregnancy or keeping them from the non-pregnancy-related upsides of hormonal contraception, like relief from heavy periods and gut-wrenching menstrual cramps. So we asked obgyns to debunk all the biggest birth control myths they’ve heard as…
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” ~Henry Ford We’ve all been there: happily ticking off life’s checkboxes, certain we’ve cracked the code, until—bam!—life decides otherwise. Divorce papers, layoffs, grief, or unexpected illness—life’s curveballs don’t discriminate. For me, it was a sudden mystery illness at sixteen.

One day I’m cheering at the Friday night football game, and the…

California grape seed extract from GALLO’s 90-year stewardship program combines clinical benefits with verified environmental practices.

A new study in Neurology links chronic insomnia with a 40% higher risk of later cognitive impairment.People with insomnia who also slept less than usual, were more likely to have markers tied to memory problems.Starting a nightly routine and advice from a health care professional can help with quality sleep. Sleepless nights aren’t just exhausting—they may carry implications for long-term brain health. While many of us experience occasional rough patches, chronic insomnia has been increasingly connected to memory and thinking changes as we age. Now, new research published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, adds…
With just a few days left of Virgo season, there’s still time for one more new moon in Virgo to give us the motivation boost we need.

And not only is it rare to have two consecutive new moons in the same time, but this new moon in Virgo doubles as a partial solar eclipse.

“Bring over the cookbook,” Grandpa said, motioning to the tattered blue hardcover, its pages browning and spine showing signs of wear. “There’s a honey cake recipe in there,” he pointed as I turned to the “Cakes” chapter. My grandfather had not had an appetite for the last two weeks, but now suddenly wanted honey cake, a dessert traditionally served during the Jewish High Holidays to welcome a sweet new year. Before I could make the cake, though, my grandfather, Si Spiegel, passed away peacefully in his Manhattan apartment. The cookbook was still open to page 239; the cake still just…
