One accusation. One unsafe set. One leaked message. That is all it takes. In an age where every phone is a camera and every DM is a headline, reputation is the new currency, and it can disappear before breakfast. The music industry just watched that happen again with the wave of lawsuits and exposés surrounding icons like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Harvey Weinstein, a reminder that fame, power, and silence no longer protect anyone. The reckoning has reached every level of entertainment, from global superstars to independent creatives just trying to work. For filmmaker and tech founder Allendra Royal-Freeman, this…

Millions of people experience negative mental health symptoms when the days grow shorter and colder. Rates of sessional sadness tend to increase the further north you go. This could be due to more extreme winter weather and daylight changes. Symptoms of seasonal sadness could be as minor as mild moodiness or as serious as diagnosed seasonal affective disorder (SAD). If you know someone who slips into sadness or depression during fall or winter, you may feel helpless to assist them. However, simple acts of kindness and compassion can help them feel less isolated and more loved. Here are some thoughtful…

The End of Guesswork in Coaching For decades, coaches and physical therapists have wrestled with a familiar dilemma: how hard should an athlete train? Push too much, and the risk of injury rises. Pull back too far, and performance stalls. Even the most experienced professionals have long relied on gut instinct, observation, and occasional testing, tools that often left major gaps in understanding how the body performs and recovers in real time. Enter True Force, a new technology built to close that gap. Founded by Ben Durbin, a former Iowa State football player and veteran strength coach, True Force combines…

In a historic leap for robotic medicine, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC) in Riyadh has successfully performed the world’s first robotic intracranial tumor resection, a groundbreaking achievement that sets a new global standard in neurosurgical precision and recovery. The surgery was conducted on a 68-year-old man experiencing severe headaches and loss of concentration and involved removing a 4.5-centimeter brain tumor using robotic arms. The patient was discharged fully conscious within 24 hours, a recovery time nearly four times faster than traditional brain surgeries. Hospital officials credited the robotic tumor resection with minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery.…

Walk into any wellness aisle, scroll through social media, or open the latest “must-read” health book, and you’ll see the same message repeated over and over again: eat less, move more, maybe cut carbs, and definitely try fasting. For women over 40, the advice is often accompanied by the warning that midlife metabolism just isn’t what it used to be. The undertone is clear—if you can’t keep up, it’s your fault. Dani Conway, a Functional Medicine Expert and Metabolic Practitioner, has a different message: the system is broken, not you. With nearly two decades of experience and a bold approach…

When longtime psychologist Dr. Joseph L. J. Schwartz lost his wife in 2014, the grief was overwhelming. A man who had spent decades helping others manage their emotions suddenly found himself unable to manage his own. “I was in total shock and panic,” he later wrote in his memoir “SuperRadiant: A Doctor’s Personal Journey. “My immediate thoughts were self-blame and immense guilt.” That dark period nearly broke him, but it also became the foundation for a new philosophy of healing he now calls his “Non-Prescription Prescription.” The idea is striking in its simplicity: combine exercise, Transcendental Meditation, and psychotherapy to…

There’s something unforgettable about a Canyon Group robe. Maybe you spotted one draped over Fran Fine’s shoulder in The Nanny, or wrapped around Monica in Friends.

Now, Canyon Group is back. The brand offers its iconic robes directly to the public for the first time through a new direct-to-consumer model. It’s a long-awaited return that combines timeless design with modern access. These aren’t robes inspired by the originals; they are…

The world of mental health care is undergoing a transformation, one that recognizes the deep, biological, and creative ties between mind and body. Leading this evolution is Kristen Baird-Goldman, a licensed clinician whose integrative approach blends therapy, nutrition, and art to support neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD. Her work challenges traditional therapy models, advocating for a holistic, science-informed practice that addresses not just how we think but how we eat, rest, move, and create. The Gut–Brain Connection “The connection between the brain and gut is incredibly strong,” says Baird-Goldman. “When the brain experiences disruption, it sends distress signals to…

There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with modern leadership, and women know it well. The packed calendar and constant visibility are one thing. The internal negotiation that never stops is another. The voice that wonders if you’re doing enough, being enough, leading the right way. Be strategic but not cold. Think like a man, act like a lady. Project strength while cultivating softness. Reconciling all of these asks can be incredibly daunting. For years, the answer has been familiar: therapy on Tuesdays, meditation apps at bedtime, maybe a spa weekend when things get truly overwhelming. But a quiet…

Feeling tired, bloated, or moody? Check your gut – specifically, your gut microbiome. The gut microbiome has become a big buzzword in wellness, and for good reason. Research shows that more than 70% of the body’s immune system resides in the gut, and every gut microbiome is unique. A balanced gut doesn’t just support digestion; it influences energy, mood, metabolism, and even how the body responds to stress. Understanding what your gut bacteria produce and how the body reacts can offer powerful clues to overall health. The problem? You can’t fix what you don’t know. Until now, testing the gut…
