Anyone who’s been through a fertility journey knows it’s a rollercoaster, with flashes of exhilarating hope followed by the lowest pitfalls of disappointment. And while many people reach the end of the process with a new baby on the way, not all fertility journeys have a happy ending. For Sophia Bush, undergoing fertility treatment was a uniquely painful and difficult journey — but one that ultimately shed light on some major changes she needed to make in her life. In an essay for Glamour, Bush described how she experienced “the depths and heartbreak of the fertility process” just after her we ..read more

Studies have found that endometriosis affects 10 to 15 percent of women of child-bearing age. And yet, despite how common this disease is — and how utterly debilitating its symptoms can be — we still know far too little about what causes it. Treatments are similarly bare-bones, with options limited to hormonal medications like birth control, common pain meds, and surgery, per Mayo Clinic. Fortunately, the tides are slowly starting to shift and some of the questions surrounding endo — like if endometriosis is genetic or not — are finally starting to get firm answers. For years, scientists belie ..read more

Infidelity has a way of either making things very messy or painfully clear. For some people, finding out that a partner cheated calls for an immediate break-up, no matter the situation — what we call a dealbreaker. But if both partners try to work things out, even for a short amount of time, the back-and-forth arguments, confusion, and feelings of betrayal and jealousy can cloud the relationship and make it hard to end it or move forward. For those who to choose to stay, well, it often takes a lot of work to re-establish that trust and build that bond up again, and even then, the relationship ..read more

You need to have major stamina and strength to perform 40 songs worth of music and choreography multiple times a week, as Taylor Swift did on the Eras Tour’s US run last year. And while Swift gave us a peek into her Eras Tour cardio routine last year — which involved daily running on the treadmill while singing her entire setlist — her trainer recently went into even more detail on what the pop star did to get her body ready for the physical stress of the tour. According to Kirk Myers, founder of Dogpound Gym in NYC and LA and Swift’s trainer since the 1989 days, Swift’s Eras Tour workout rout ..read more

Halle Bailey announced the birth of her first son, Halo, in a tender Instagram post in January 2024, calling him “the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me” in the emotional caption. And while The Color Purple star describes Halo as a “perfect” baby, she also isn’t shying away from talking about the tougher parts of being a new mom, including postpartum depression. The 24-year-old got honest about the toll its taken on her mental health in a Snapchat video posted to social media by a fan last week. “I feel like a completely different person,” Bailey said in the video. “When I look in ..read more

Gut health is all the rage right now. Influencers share hacks to stave off bloating while celebrities endorse their favorite probiotics. But what do the experts have to say about how to improve gut health?  The truth is, the path to a healthy gut might actually be more straightforward than you think. “You do not need a colonic every couple of weeks, you do not need a $100 supplement to ‘clean your liver,’ and not everyone needs to be taking a probiotic,” says gastroenterologist Monia Werlang. While researchers are still discovering everything that gut health entails, what we know so far i ..read more

Olivia Munn underwent breast cancer treatment last year after a surprise diagnosis, but in a new interview with People, she said even that experience wasn’t as difficult as postpartum anxiety. “It was truly the most challenging thing,” said Munn, who shares her two-year-old son Malcolm with partner John Mulaney. “It was incredibly difficult. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would put my postpartum anxiety at 100… I went through something challenging this past year,” she continued, referencing her breast cancer battle, “but I don’t think it compares to what I went through postpartum.” Postpartum anxiet ..read more
