Plot twist: Now you can get cupping for your face, or you can do it yourself at home. If that sounds like a scary but intriguing prospect, it’s because it is! But don’t worry—like gua sha, facial cupping is a less intense version of the classic body treatment that utilizes small silicone cups (instead of larger glass ones used on the back) for similar benefits: detoxification, increased circulation, lymph drainage, and as a result, younger-looking, glowier skin....

As I often tell my clients, we don’t get to choose how we feel—but we do get to choose how we respond to those feelings. Toxic positivity is when we wish we were feeling something we aren’t, and so we admonish ourselves to feel differently by saying to ourselves some version of “Think positive!” If instead we cultivate curiosity (the first step in a true gratitude practice) about what we are feeling, then we are on the path toward transforming the negative emotion into something positive like gratitude or healthy pride....

That’s the perfect example of certain ingredients not optimally fueling your body....

The response is almost always something like, “We have communication issues.” If I stopped there, I wouldn’t learn much about what’s going on for them because “communication issues” is defined differently for everyone. Even more challenging is that fact that within a relationship, couples will mean different things for what they describe as “communication issues.” Couples that don’t learn to consciously communicate will face issues when it comes to intimacy, conflict, and relational growth....

It seems like it should be pretty clear-cut, no? Well, like most things in health, beauty, and wellness—there’s actually some nuance. Here, we break down what you need to know. The protein is naturally found in many areas of the body, including the skin, muscles, joints, bones, and gut. In fact, there are at least 28 kinds of collagen1 that we know of that exist in vertebrates, which includes us—however, collagen types I through III are the most common....

Yet, 42% of the U.S. adult population1 is living with vitamin C insufficiency, almost half are failing to get enough vitamin C from their food each day, and even with supplementation, 33% of American adults2 are still falling short of their needs. When looking at the research, at least 200 milligrams per day seems to be the amount to keep your plasma (i.e., blood levels) saturated with vitamin C5, optimize the amount of C in your cells and tissues, because low vitamin C levels—suboptimal statuses like insufficiency and deficiency—can have negative health implications....
