And since the infatuation with hot tools, dye jobs, and chemical processing is constantly on the rise, don’t fret; you’re not alone in dealing with your hair breakage. It’s actually more common than we think. “When the scales fall apart, the hairs become dry and separate from one another, which can result in split ends and shortened hair strands,” Fitzsimmons says. He continues that if this type of damage isn’t addressed, it can lead to full-blown hair breakage where strands fall out altogether....

Opening my eyes, I looked down at the landscape of my body—there were approximately 16 needles poking out of various parts of my ankles, calves, belly, wrists, and scalp, but I felt nothing but complete and utter relaxation. It was my first experience with acupuncture and I’ll admit that it took a lot of mental fortitude to lie there, willingly, as my Chinese naturopath prepared to stab me with needles, swabbing the areas with a cool pad drenched in rubbing alcohol....

INFPs are among the rarest types, at around 1% of the population, according to Dario Nardi, Ph.D., a personality expert and author of Neuroscience of Personality. Female INFPs also outnumber male INFPs two to one, he adds. And according to John Hackston, head of thought leadership at the Myers-Briggs Company, INFPs are loyal, creative, and thoughtful, “but at a first glance, people with this personality preference can be seen by others as cool and distant....

A few food items that may contain barley, Smith says, include: Barley is also present in another ingredient you’re probably familiar with: malt. When barley seeds are soaked in water, they begin to grow and sprout. “Once dried, barley with a sprout is called malt,” Smith explains. During the process, called “malting,” the barley develops enzymes that help convert starches into sugars. Meaning, though the product presents differently, barley and malt are made from the same plant and therefore both contain gluten....

While the desire to hibernate during the winter months is normal from time to time, a small portion of the U.S. population experiences a very real mood condition called seasonal depression during this time of year. In the United States, it’s most prevalent in the northern regions of the country—i.e., Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the Northeast. The further north you live1 (i.e., the further you are from the equator), the more susceptible you are....

And aren’t these stressful times? Nearly two-thirds of American adults say their lives have been forever changed post-pandemic. Stress about money is at its highest since 2015, and 73 percent of Americans say they’re overwhelmed by the smorgasbord of global crises. On top of our collective dilemmas, we each have our own personal stressors, too—and don’t I know it. Between moving homes, picking up a side gig again, and the normal bouts of relationship stress—I’ve recently felt the kind of overwhelm that might be too much for one person to handle (but you know I’ll try)....

“It only takes one look at labradorite’s flashy iridescence to understand where the many Native legends about this stone come from,” Askinosie tells mbg of this crystal, noting that in the lore of First Nations communities in Canada, labradorite is said to contain the northern lights. Labradorite’s most renowned quality, she adds, is known as labradorescence. “This is what makes the stone transform from a bluish-gray to a show of neon illuminations in light,” she says....

This style of dating sounds devastatingly romantic, but when it’s this sugarcoated, it’s often not actually an accurate representation of love. If you’ve recently met someone and it mirrors this experience, it can seem like a dream come true instead of what it really is: limerence. At first glance, limerence doesn’t sound all that different from falling in love. In fact, it doesn’t sound negative at all to be that wowed by someone and adore them wholeheartedly....

With the skin, hair, nails, and energy of someone half her age, Louise showed me how she lived her life — and I paid attention. She’s a former model, so of course I asked for her beauty secrets.

The mineral is present in foods such as leafy greens, avocado, and dark chocolate. However, a National Health and Nutrition Examination1 survey found that 48% of Americans weren’t getting enough of it in their diets between 2013 and 2016. Enter: magnesium supplements, of which there are many forms. On its own, magnesium has very low bioavailability. To be turned into a supplement, the mineral is paired with another organic compound that makes it easier for the body to absorb....

Unfortunately, our bodies produce about 1% less collagen1 with each passing year, and we’re consuming far less of it from natural sources than we used to. This isn’t a recipe for good health—and is why dozens of food and supplement companies are beginning to make products that help you fill the void.* One of those being marine collagen.* As with all sources of collagen, the body doesn’t simply absorb marine collagen whole and deliver it directly where it needs to go....

However, the wellness potential of a supplement routine can extend much further than your daily multivitamin. Individual supplements—which are available in myriad forms and doses—are just as important for bolstering your regimen, addressing nutritional inadequacies, and targeting functional areas of health. With that said, most people can benefit from a multivitamin—about 40% of the American population1 fall well below daily nutritional requirements for multiple micronutrients (aka vitamins and minerals). The key is to choose a well-rounded, quality multivitamin/mineral product that offers nutrients in the right forms (i....

Though my husband and I are both aware enough to know what constitutes “trying” and what doesn’t, we assumed that we would, after maybe a year or more of “trying,” end up making some challenging decisions about fertility treatments. It was the experience that many of our friends and family had, and we came to unconsciously assume that making a baby was a difficult thing to do. And so I thought there would be more time....
