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. You may have caught a glimpse in Frasier, Baywatch, or Fight Club. These plush, luxurious robes became part of television and film’s visual language of leisure, indulgence, and effortless cool. 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…

If you’re asking “what now?”—this article walks you through the emotional clarity, legal options, and strategic actions you can take to reclaim control. 1. Pause—and Document Everything First, resist the urge to react emotionally in public. Before you call them out online or…

When an EF3 tornado ripped through the St. Louis region in May, block after block of solid brick houses were reduced to piles of rubble. The tornado’s path stretched 23 miles, causing more than $1.6 billion in damage. Within the City of St. Louis alone, more than 5,000 homes were impacted across adjacent but demographically diverse neighborhoods. Six weeks into the cleanup phase, the telltale signs of devastation are similar for mansions, modest single-family homes, and apartment complexes alike: roofs covered in plastic tarps, tree roots jutting above sidewalks, and work crews hauling away debris. However, the recovery trajectory is…

Walnut Creek, CA – When more than 20,000 people gathered at Civic Park East on Sept. 26–27, 2025, for the annual Walnut Creek Oktoberfest, they experienced far more than Bavarian music, hearty food, and a bustling biergarten. They also discovered the community spirit that companies like Jazz Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, & Electrical bring to neighborhoods across the Bay Area. For over a decade, Jazz has built a reputation across the Bay Area, Sacramento, and Santa Rosa for more than just HVAC and plumbing expertise. At its heart, the company is rooted in trust, reliability, and relationships, qualities that perfectly align…

The global chemical sector is chasing big-ticket digital projects while overlooking a lever hiding in plain sight: frontline execution. Across the industry’s largest manufacturers (>$5B revenue), annual sales exceed $1.2 trillion and maintenance averages ~3% of revenue—roughly $36 billion a year. Yet wrench time—the portion of a technician’s shift spent on value-adding work—often sits at 25–30%, while best-in-class reaches 60–65%. Even a modest improvement translates into billions in savings and immediate EBITDA impact. As Sundeep Ravande, CEO & Co-Founder at Innovapptive, puts it, “You can’t hire your way out of this crisis—you have to execute your way out.” By 2035,…
