Why More Young People Are Getting Shingles
Many of these patients are juggling multiple demands: an intense career, travel, young kids, and buying a home. “Often they’re sleep-deprived, not getting the right nutrients for their body, [and] not getting enough sun exposure,” Dr. Vo says. Both short-term and chronic stress can weaken your immune system, making it easier for the dormant varicella-zoster…
Read MoreIt Feels Like Everyone Is Using a GLP-1 to Lose 10 or 15 Pounds—Should I?
In the past I would have shrugged this off as just another weight-loss trend.

Read MoreI Found Out I Had Breast Cancer After Getting Pregnant on My Third Round of IVF
Triple-negative breast cancer, or TNBC, is one of the more aggressive kinds of breast cancer. It’s also harder to treat since it does not respond to hormone therapy.

Read MoreTwo of My Siblings Got Breast Cancer. Then I Found Out I Had It Too.
Unfortunately, my story didn’t end there. Last year the radiologist saw something else on my MRI, and I was diagnosed with stage 1A triple-positive breast cancer. The lump was so tiny—half the size of a grape, if that—but it was an aggressive form of breast cancer. They had to get it out quickly. I kept…
Read MoreBreast Cancer Led Me to Quit My Real Estate Career and Become an Author
I was never good at doing breast self-exams. But one day in 2018, it occurred to me to check my breasts while I was in the shower—and I felt something. I’d just turned 40, and my daughters, Autumn and Lily, were one and five. When I felt the lump, I figured maybe it was related…
Read MoreMy Gut Told Me It Was Breast Cancer. My Doctors Said I Was Too Young.
I was on a phone call in September 2024 the first time I noticed some moisture on my chest. I thought it was weird but figured maybe I just didn’t dry off enough after my shower. Over the next few days, it kept happening: little spots on my bra that seemed like discharge from one…

Read MoreMidsize Bodies Were Finally Going Mainstream—Then GLP-1s Came Along
The first time I saw the term midsize on social media, it stopped me mid-scroll. Here was a simple seven-letter word that somehow absorbed a lifetime of conflicting emotions about my size 6 (sometimes size 8) body, and put a label on it. Midsize sounds so neutral, so matter-of-fact‚ and that’s exactly the vibe of…

The Democratic Republic of Congo sits atop an estimated five billion barrels of untapped oil reserves and nearly 60 billion cubic meters of methane gas. With global powers racing to secure critical energy resources, the question of who will lead the country’s Ministry of Hydrocarbons has become a matter of international significance.

Read MoreHow ETFs and Institutional Capital Reshaped Crypto Liquidity in 2025
Investors relied for years on a specific crypto market rhythm: profits cycled from Bitcoin to Ethereum and then cascaded down to smaller tokens. That profit rotation has become less consistent than in prior cycles. Wintermute’s 2025 Digital Asset OTC Markets Report indicates the liquidity pipeline fractured rather than trickled down last year. The report identifies…
Read MoreThe $8.8 Trillion Problem AI Can’t Solve: Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
Corporate AI spending topped $252 billion in 2024. Yet 95% of generative AI pilots deliver no measurable return on investment. The technology works. The people don’t. What’s missing?
