In fact, two-thirds of Americans experience at least one gastrointestinal symptom, like bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, or constipation1, in any given week, according to the National GI Survey.

I kept quiet about my experiences with sexual assault and PTSD for almost 20 years. I had shared with a few people in my private life, but it wasn’t until I wrote my second book, The Farewell Tour: A Caregiver’s Guide to Stress Management, Sane Nutrition, and Better Sleep, that I shared publicly—and even then, it was just a tiny section in one chapter. I remember visiting the RAINN website, hoping to find a loophole out of being a statistic, but even all the things I did remember qualified as rape....

An example would be cleaning out a closet and finding pictures of an old friend from college whom you haven’t connected with in 10 years—and days later, getting an email from that same old friend....

As sleep and neurology expert Chris Winter, M.D., tells mbg, synesthesia is ultimately the sensory perception of experiencing a “crossing over” of your senses. “Certain words might elicit something within an individual that really has nothing to do with the word,” he says for example, such as someone hearing the word “bounce” and seeing the color yellow in their mind’s eye. “Synesthetes can often ‘see’ music as colors when they hear it, and ’taste’ textures like ‘round’ or ‘pointy’ when they eat foods....
