Thyroid meds don’t often make for dinner party talk… unless you’re someone who’s tried to explain to a friend how you can feel exhausted, anxious, and kind of “not yourself” even when the doc says your labs are “fine.” Sound familiar? Here’s the surprise: […]

(img by The Spruce) Fungus, Frustration & a Simple Question So, let’s just put it out there: have you ever stared at a patch of stubborn, itchy skin and wondered, “Couldn’t I just zap this thing with sunlight or one of those UV gadgets?” I have.

Why Your Morning Bowl Packs a Punch Most people don’t realize that the breakfast cereal you toss into your bowl daily could be quietly helping… or totally wrecking your day. Honestly. I used to laugh at “you are what you eat” memes, but after hanging out with active, happy seniors, something clicked—your first meal can […]
