It’s not common for doctors to share their own experiences with their patients, let alone the world. But for Aditi Nerurkar, MD, a Harvard physician and stress expert, her personal story is what drove her to develop strategies to manage her own stress, then her patients’, and now readers’ everywhere. She opens up about her

Content warning: This article contains descriptions of sexual assault. In May 2022, New York passed the Adult Survivors Act, which created a one-year window for survivors of sexual assault to file suit against their alleged abusers — even after the statute of limitations had expired. Among more than 3,000 civil suits filed during the period,

Robin Arzón knows how to hustle. As an ultramarathoner, a bestselling author, a toy-line creator, a mom of two, and the head instructor and vice president of fitness programming at Peloton, she stays booked and busy, helping people step into stronger (sweatier) versions of themselves. This becomes even more impressive when you learn she’s done

I like to think that Taylor Swift and I have a lot in common, but perhaps our biggest similarity is our height — and, relatedly, our posture. Swift stands at 5’10” or 5’11”, depending on who you ask, and as a tall girlie myself, I know all too well the temptation to slump. I suspect

There’s a good chance you’ve heard of the 75 Hard Challenge — it’s been around for a few years now, and it’s sort of like CrossFit, veganism, or the keto diet in that if someone you know is doing the challenge, they’ve probably told you about it. There’s a reason for that: This mental and

Pilates is so hot right now, and while you can get a solid Pilates workout at home without any equipment, one of the best ways to level up your practice is to hop on a reformer, an exercise apparatus that often has a sliding platform, pulleys, and springs. Club Pilates is a great place to

Aspen is a pretty perfect place to set your New Year’s resolutions — just ask Lana Condor. After spending an especially cozy New Year’s Eve in the Colorado mountains, Condor’s wellness goals are some of her best yet, emphasizing self-care over self-improvement. “Last year, my one resolution was to take people at their word,” she

In July 2022, at age 32, I found a lump in my right breast. I was concerned, but because I didn’t know of anyone in my family who’d had breast cancer, I thought it was probably nothing to worry about. Even so, as a precaution, I saw a doctor. During my exam, they palpated the

To a cardio newbie, running can seem incredibly simple to take up. After all, the sport doesn’t involve any fancy equipment, has no set-in-stone rules to follow, and is just a fast-paced version of walking, right? Those ideas are true to an extent. But slipping on a random pair of sneakers and pounding the pavement

Kate Hudson has a positive feeling about 2024. “It was a lot of good energy on New Year’s Eve this year,” she tells POPSUGAR. “It’s going to be good.” After stealing the show as the unapologetically extra Birdie Jay in “Glass Onion” and recently teasing her debut album, it seems like exciting career moves are

Something was in the air at the 81st Golden Globe Awards, and it wasn’t just hairspray. As more and more stars hit the red carpet, the normally glowing guest list struggled to make eye contact with the cameras, seemingly on the verge of tears. Attendees like Amanda Seyfried smiled at the camera through red, watery

Sure, a handstand is a fun trick to have up your sleeve. But as any expert inverter will tell you, learning how to do a handstand is more than just a cool photo op. This advanced yoga pose is an incredible feat of strength and balance. The many benefits of handstands make them an especially

Probiotics — nicknamed “good” or “helpful” bacteria by health professionals — are live bacteria and yeasts that help keep your gut healthy and improve digestion. However, when you start upping your probiotic intake (either through supplements or eating probiotic-rich foods, like yogurt), it’s not always easy to spot the signs that probiotics are working. “There

Buried deep in your brain, you might have a memory of shakily attempting — and maybe failing — to do a handful of push-ups during your fifth-grade gym class. It was the era of the agonizing (though some say scarring) Presidential Fitness Test, and you may be apprehensive about performing the upper-body-building exercise to this

I was on a ship in the middle of the ocean, sitting next to a table covered in sparkles, hair bows, gems, earrings, and pretty much every kind of accessory imaginable. I was getting a makeover from a girl even more decked out than the table. She wore her signature, head-to-toe sequined outfit that was

From an early age, we’re taught the golden rule: “Treat others as you would like to be treated.” The irony here? Many of us don’t even treat ourselves the way we’d like to be treated. A 2023 poll found that the average person has about 11 negative thoughts concerning their bodies and self-worth per day,

You may think you have this whole “breathing” thing taken care of. After all, it’s one of those processes that’s (blessedly) automatic and (blessedly) doesn’t need real estate on your to-do list. But beathwork — a practice of being a little more intentional with your inhales and exhales — is a way to get even

We’ve all been there: obsessed with one specific workout, whether it’s a so-hard-it-hurts HIIT class, a makes-your-bod-rock Pilates class, a zen-AF yoga class, or a gives-you-literal-life regular run. It’s not always easy to exercise, but looking forward to this particular workout helps with motivation, so it’s pretty much the only workout that gets done. But

Having trouble falling asleep is an experience many people (hi, there are 50 to 70 million of us) know like the backs of our eyelids. You would think such a ubiquitous issue would have an equally ubiquitous solution — but alas, here we are. When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, many of

If I know anything about myself, it’s that my body needs zero excuse to feel motion sick. I get nauseous in the car, during movies, on roller coasters, and even just swimming at the beach. So when I was invited to the XOMG POP! Royal Caribbean cruise, I was immediately concerned. But the thrill took

If you’re looking for a mega-quick, mega-efficient workout, one great option is Tabata training. What is Tabata? It’s a super-charged version of high intensity interval training (HIIT) in which you go all out for 20 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, then repeat that eight times for a total of four minutes. Sure, it’s quick and

As we wrap up 2023, the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision in June 2022 to overturn Roe v. Wade is coming into clearer focus. Just this month, a decision by the Texas Supreme Court denying a woman a court-approved abortion set an important legal precedent around medical exceptions. And, looking ahead to 2024, the

Refined carbs have gotten a bad rap over the years, much to the dismay of carb-loving girlies everywhere. But what are refined carbs, exactly? Also known as simple carbs, these carbohydrate sources have two categories: sugars and refined grains. Some examples of refined grain products include white bread, white rice, and white flour.
