That being said, not all forms of hair loss are permanent either—especially if you actively treat the scalp to encourage regrowth. Hair loss in women and men is alike in many ways and different in some. Here, the difference between the two and what derms want you to know about treating and preventing hair loss. Women tend to have more subtle thinning throughout the scalp, characterized by a widened part or more visibility of the scalp, Miller explains....

With such an intense love for my practice, you can probably imagine that the 30-day Bikram yoga challenge had been on my bucket list for years. I’d attempted the challenge (unofficially) a few times—10 days here, 14 there—but never for an entire month. After dipping my toes in, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. So, before I could talk myself out of it, I signed up and embarked upon a 30-day journey of Bikram....

One of the more common questions we tend to get is what supplement ingredients play well together. Well, that comes down to two additional questions. The second is do they work toward a common health support goal or even synergistically to help each other be more effective and bioavailable? Well, certain actives tend to be common supplement duos, as is the case with collagen and biotin. So let’s get into how and why they’re formulated together....

Your gastrointestinal (GI) tract doesn’t have words to tell you that it is overtaxed, unbalanced, or inflamed, so it sends you symptoms like bloating, belching, and gas instead. When you can read these symptoms as signals, you gain the opportunity to truly nourish and support your unique body without judgment. Clara didn’t need to uproot her life and eat “perfectly” to banish her bloat, she simply needed to listen to her body and compassionately give it what it was asking for: rest, balance, and nutrition....

But I figured the best way to find out exactly how gluten was affecting my body would be to cut it all out and see what happened. I was focused. I’d given up my beloved morning toast; I was finding a greater love for fruits and veggies....

Perhaps the most extreme example of how trauma may affect the body: According to research by Kelly Turner, Ph.D., terminally ill cancer patients who have experienced unexpected remission—beating their disease against all odds—often cite releasing emotional stress or trauma as one of the key factors in their healing. But what do the experts think? Could this be why, for instance, some people start spontaneously crying during a massage or acupuncture session for no immediately apparent reason?...

Although your body loses fluids simply by sweating and breathing, urination is far and away the main channel. It’s not surprising that we take time to notice it. And if you do, here are a few things to remember: However, clear urine isn’t always a sign of good hydration. If you are going a lot and it’s clear, it could be a sign of a condition called diabetes insipidus. In these cases, an individual may pass three to 20 (!...
