But we obviously know you can be diligent and still develop yellowing. Yellowing and stains happen for two reasons, as we learned here from holistic dentist Mark Burhenne, DDS: The first is intrinsic, which happens with age. The second is the one you have a more active part in: extrinsic, which happens on the enamel. This happens when we consume things like coffee, tea, wine, blueberries, and grapefruit. (These are some of the big culprits; consider swishing your mouth with water after you consume these as it helps keep stains from setting, Burhenne tells us....

Let’s run through what to consider when shopping for a supportive pillow, plus eight highly vetted options that won’t be a pain in your neck. One thing to note about Tempur-Pedic pillows is that they do tend to be quite heavy and aren’t as easy to travel with. And for those looking for a cushier feel, they will be too firm.

This will ensure its ingredients and nutrients can perform optimally. To sip your way to snoozeville, Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., aka The Sleep Doctor, reminds mbg that you also need to maintain proper sleep hygiene and a consistent sleep schedule....

Well, research has found that when skin is excessively exposed to external aggressors (unprotected UV exposure and pollution, for example), its natural reserves of vitamin C become depleted4. It makes sense, then, that replenishing vitamin C levels in the skin can lead to a seemingly endless list of protective and restorative benefits. It’s important to find a stable, well-formulated topical serum, as the vitamin turns ineffective easily. You should also consider vitamin C supplementation, which has been shown to promote collagen production in the skin4....

But if you have sensitive eyes, wear contacts, or just generally have easily irritated skin around the eye area, mascara comes with a challenge: Some find the product to irritate the delicate skin, cause irritation, itching, and more. Much like you can enter the skin care aisle looking for a plethora of sensitive-skin-approved tonics and formulas, makeup has come a long way in offering options for those with finicky skin....

It’s only fitting, then, that Naomi Osaka prioritizes soothing, stress-busting practices throughout her regimen—she hails mindfulness habits just as much as daily SPF. In fact, the 25-year-old world-class tennis champion is on a mission to destigmatize mental health and make self-care more accessible for all; on that path, she also founded KINLÒ, a sun care brand specifically designed to raise awareness about health risks for melanin-rich skin tones and amplify the importance of sunscreen....

That said, I’ve noticed that at certain points in my monthly hormone cycle, I’m more tolerant to carbohydrates than others. (In other words: I’m less likely to get sleepy or bloated after eating a croissant or some oatmeal.) I also crave them more during certain times of the month, which I think most women can relate to. Sounds pretty simple right? Actually, not so much. According to Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP....

It’s related to many spiritual sexual practices, including semen retention (wherein a penis owner learns to orgasm without ejaculating, thus allowing for multiple orgasms for men), sexual transmutation (wherein you transmute sexual energy into creative energy to fuel other areas of your life), and the energy orgasm.

Even before that, I had what my dad, a psychologist and person keen to poke fun at me, called “Woody Allen–type neurotic tendencies.” When I was seven, I needed my stuffed animals lined up just so. I missed 42 days of school one year, sure I had strep throat, then pneumonia, then cancer. My chest was always a little bit tighter than those of my friends; I always had more “what ifs” and “whys” floating around my overactive mind....

While mothers are often seen as eternal stewards of consummate guidance and unwavering support, a mother’s identity is always much more complex than that. As women, mothers live in a deeply misogynistic world, and if those toxic messages haven’t been worked out of their belief system, they may inadvertently pass down these burdens to their children. This matrilineal pain is sometimes called the mother wound. “The cultural atmosphere of female oppression by the Western patriarchy conditions women to think of themselves as ’less-than, not deserving, and not-worthy,’” psychologist Nadine Macaluso, LMFT, Ph....

It’s grounded in the science of an elimination diet, during which you have to completely eliminate suspected triggers to accurately evaluate them. (Otherwise, how will you know if life could be better without them?) Plus, the Whole30 is about keeping your promise to yourself. You committed to 30 days of evaluating your health, habits, and relationship with food, and I want you to honor that commitment....
