As one of those girlies who tend to have gut-health issues, I’ve been on the hunt for anything that’ll help. I’ve tried so many different probiotics, many of which just haven’t done much of anything.

“OK guys, I have a PSA for you, and it has to do with massage guns and your neck,” content creator Sophie Dolce begins a video. She tells her TikTok followers that after using a massage gun every 30 minutes to help relieve a kink in her neck, she noticed a big lump. Luckily, Dolce

Vaping has become an undeniable part of American culture. As of 2021, about 4.5 percent of adults in the U.S. smoked e-cigarettes, with 18 to 24-year-olds being the most heavy users (around 11 percent).

I arrived at boarding school on an unbearably humid day in September of 1989, my curiosity about everything I would experience during my years there an untamed fireball. The school required extracurriculars, and there were so many things I looked forward to trying, from sports to Glee Club to theater. After attending orientation, touring the

Just when you thought you’d escaped the confusing confines of your high school dress code, the gym proves you wrong. In 2024, women are still sharing horror stories about their gym memberships getting revoked due to issues with the dress code.

For more than half my life, Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. were always booked. That’s the consequence of split custody. Wednesdays meant going to Dad’s house, which I was always emotionally torn about, given the not-so-cordial split-up between my parents and the fact that my mom was pretty sick during my childhood. The two of us

Meghan Lamb received her breast cancer diagnosis during the week of her 29th birthday. “I went to the doctor just for a sinus infection, and I said, ‘By the way, I have this lump.

Do you know where your vulva is? Are you sure? Would you bet $50 bucks on it? Would you swear on your ability to feel pleasure, or touch grass, or peruse TikTok (that is to say, your life)? Busy Philipps wants to make sure you’re very clear on the anatomy. Her way of making that

Today, we know Caitlin Clark as one of the greatest shooting guards in women’s college basketball. The Iowa Hawkeyes player averaged 32.2 points this season, and on March 3, she became the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) all-time scoring leader as she closed out her final season in a game against Ohio State.

There are approximately 1.8 billion people who menstruate around the world. That means that on any given day, millions of people are on their periods — and not only is that a lot of blood, it’s also a lot of information about our bodies that ends up getting thrown away. Until now. In January, the

When it comes to working out, it’s easy to fixate on the here and now — sometimes only thinking as far as your last rep. But according to the Healthy Aging Study, conducted by functional fitness brand Pvolve and the University of Exeter, it pays to exercise for your future self. We already know that

As a self-proclaimed workout-class connoisseur, I’ve tried my fair share of fitness studios. But Solidcore remains at the top of my list and continues to gain popularity on social media for its killer benefits, small class sizes, and high energy.

Walk into any group fitness class, and odds are you’ll see at least a few people wearing the Fitness Uniform (TM): plain black leggings and a longline sports bra. It’s a classic for a reason — dark colors don’t show sweat, and everyone looks good in black — but it can be a bit boring.

Those of us who are familiar with Peloton UK know instructor Susie Chan as a runner — a serious runner, perhaps one of the most recognizable faces within the British running community. She’s run the Marathon des Sables (a six-day ultramarathon that covers about the distance of six marathons) more than any other woman athlete

When it comes to lower-body workouts, deadlifts get a lot of attention. But they have a lesser-known cousin that delivers many of the same benefits, with the added advantage of needing less weight to effectively strengthen your muscles: the good-morning exercise.

Ashlee Green was an active child growing up. “But active in the sense that I used to play outside with my friends and was drinking water from the water hose,” she tells POPSUGAR. “I didn’t play sports. I was too scared.” Founding a media company for Black women runners, RunGrl, was definitely absent from her
