Not only are they clearly labeled and color-coded to tell you exactly what’s in them and what their science-backed, trusted ingredients do (so you don’t need an M.D. to decode them), but you can rest assured knowing they’re free from extras like synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, parabens, and talc....
Inside Triple Crown Salon, a studio in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, sustainable agriculture is a growing topic of conversation between stylists and their clients—and that’s by design. We spoke to owner and longtime CSA member Natasha Speth, back in early March, right before the pandemic, climate disasters, and political upheaval of this year had really taken a hold, and even then she said, “I think going back to the root of all things is really important…we need to think about the whole picture....
The study explored how psilocybin, the natural active psychedelic in magic mushrooms, affected people with depression when administered in a therapeutic setting. Researchers out of the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center administered the drug to 24 adults over the course of two randomized, controlled trials. The first group received it right away, while the other group had delayed treatment. Rooted in sound scientific practice and published in major peer-reviewed journals, this research shows that psychedelics—most of which were made illegal schedule 1 drugs in the mid 20th century—might soon have a role to play in Western medicine....
Sure enough, as her anxiety lessened, boredom did start to make its presence felt in her life. However, over time, my client came to embrace this new state. She labeled it “a privilege” and a sign that anxiety had released its stranglehold over her life. Interestingly, when she stopped reacting to and judging her boredom, it started to ease.

While, yes, your focus should predominantly be on nutrient-rich, keto-friendly whole foods, there are still ways to enjoy your favorite desserts on special occasions without countering all your progress. And these keto brownies are a delicious way to do just that....
I’m not sure what has fostered my positive relationship with sleep, but I do know that as a child, I always felt safe when sleeping and recall being roused gently. I have vivid memories of taking a hot bath and then listening to books on tape before going to bed. Now that I think back, I had a routine put into place by my mothers. Family dinner was routinized, as was bath time and a consistent bedtime....
The misunderstanding that BDSM is necessarily linked to violence or portrayed as acting against someone’s will is dangerous, as it doesn’t account for the interpersonal dynamics that make BDSM a consensual practice. And many people are unaware of the playful, consciousness-expanding, and even healing opportunities that BDSM offers. From my coaching work with clients, and from exploring my own identity as a sex-positive woman, I know that BDSM can do a lot more than just add a bit of fun to an otherwise routine roll in the hay....
