Compared to modern grains, like rice and pasta, ancient grains tend to have greater health benefits1. This is likely because they still contain their nutrient-rich kernel, functional medicine doctor and registered dietitian Elizabeth Boham, M.D., M.S., R.D., explains. “The kernel contains the bran, endosperm, and germ,” she says. “These germ and bran are rich in the fiber, minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals.” “The fiber in whole grains also works to slow down the absorption of your food and as a result decreases your blood sugar and insulin spike after a meal,” Boham says....

The limbic system is a powerful force, so sexual or romantic yearning tends to overpower thoughts from our higher-order prefrontal cortex. As Fisher points out, “We can overlook a great number of problems” in the object of our desire. First, we tend to be drawn to people who are similar to us.

It doesn’t matter how many down dogs and guided meditations you do—we’re all susceptible to stress. And while my go-to routines usually keep things even-keeled, my stress levels recently took an uncharacteristic climb, thanks to some life transitions. On top of that, years of teaching have left me with a moody low back that flares up during times of tension. I needed to find a new approach to all things stress, which brought me to the CHI Palm....

“Three individuals who are in a relationship with each other very often prefer to be called a ’triad’ rather than ’throuple,’” adds Jennifer Schneider, MSW, LCSW, LICSW, a licensed therapist and social worker who has clinical experience working with non-monogamous people. (This article will use the terms interchangeably.) Polyamory refers to the practice of, or desire for, intimate relationships with more than one person, with the informed consent of all people involved....

Short answer? It might be, for a number of reasons (not all of them permanent). And while you can’t exactly fix a receding hairline overnight, there are ways to stop the recession in its tracks, even reverse the damage in some cases. For what it’s worth: Women can experience androgenetic alopecia—or female-pattern baldness—as well.
