After being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 2, President Donald Trump received several treatments while under the care of medical staff at the White House, including an experimental antibody cocktail, as well as a regimen of over-the-counter medications and supplements, including zinc, vitamin D, aspirin, and melatonin. While melatonin is best known for helping to

We all have moments when something we’re eating or drinking goes down the “wrong pipe,” throwing us into a coughing fit. “Swallowing food, even liquids or our own saliva, is a very, very complex process, and at every step of that process — and there are a lot of them — errors can happen, resulting

As a teenager and college student, I struggled with body image and disordered eating. I used disordered eating to handle my emotions and feel more in control of my life. One way this played out was through movement: I would use exercise to punish myself and my body for what I’d eaten, especially if I

I’m all for arming yourself with the proper hiking gear — and some that’s unexpected, too — but sometimes, you can’t afford to outfit yourself with an entire wardrobe just for a new sport. And when it comes to what to wear while hiking, I’ve found that my favorite workout leggings can be just as

There’s still so much to understand when it comes to masks and COVID-19. At the very basic level, we know the CDC’s recommends for fabric face masks to be worn when out in public or around other people. But then there are other factors to consider, like the materials they’re made out of or companies

Netflix’s sports docuseries The Playbook starts with a riveting episode on NBA coach Doc Rivers, who led the 2008 Celtics to their first NBA championship in 22 years. But as Rivers recalls in the episode, the 2008 title was far from a foregone conclusion. In fact, the Celtics were coming off a 24-58 season that

We get it: when it comes to weight loss, it feels tough to even get started if you don’t have access to a gym, home workout equipment, or even a set of dumbbells. Of course, as you probably know by this point, weight loss has a lot to do with your life outside of exercise,

While it’s no secret that the DB Method machine is an incredible tool for toning and sculpting your glutes, it can also be used to target other areas of your body, including your arms. The at-home resistance machine, designed to put the body in the perfect squat position, totes a tension rod built with 220lbs

After six years, Peloton is no longer the only megawatt fitness brand offering at-home spin rides for its customers. In late 2019, SoulCycle announced the release of their very own at-home stationary bike. While the bikes have a lot of similarities (like HD touchscreens and bluetooth), their differences are what set them apart. Let’s dive

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s planning some fall weekend escapes. Most of my fall weekend getaways include some sort of fitness element. Between a hike, a jog, or a long stroll around the city, I almost always have something planned that will have me breaking a sweat. This fall, I’m refusing to

Raise your hand if you’ve ever skipped a workout to sleep in. Or to drink wine. Or to go shopping, call your mom, clean the house. Trust me, I have done all of those things, too. Sometimes, the energy to work-out and then shower afterward is just too much to handle but, of course, the

There’s been a lot of uncertainty around COVID-19 testing in the US. Recently, the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) seemed to soften its testing guidelines — explaining that people who had been exposed but hadn’t developed symptoms no longer needed to be tested — only to reverse course when it was reported that the changes

Some people just have cold feet, in the literal sense. Are you most comfortable wearing UGGs, even in the spring? Does your partner complain about your ice-cold toes brushing up against their shins during the night? If your feet are always cold, there’s an explanation. We talked to Danielle DesPrés, DPM, a board-certified foot and

Years ago, my mom was kind enough to make me a homemade heating pad — a fabric tube filled with rice that I could pop in the microwave whenever my period cramps were out of control. It was a huge step up from my electric heating pad, which required me to sit near an outlet

Throughout all the Peloton hype, no one is talking about what I believe to be one of the app’s best features. So I’ve taken it upon myself to share what I think is currently Peloton’s best-kept secret: the music-backed guided stretching videos. For those who haven’t taken the Peloton plunge, the app offers more than

I’ve always liked having toned arms, not because of the way they look, but because of the way they make me feel (strong!). The key to developing any muscle group is strength training, but figuring out the right combination of drills and sets to achieve your goals can be challenging. Fortunately, there are tons of

For years, I avoided running. I did all other forms of cardio — swimming, biking, the elliptical — but I didn’t have a spark of passion for lacing up my sneakers and hitting the pavement. When the pandemic left running as one of my only options for working out, I gave in and quickly found

If leggings aren’t high-waisted, we probably aren’t buying them. The style is so perfect because it holds you in, doesn’t ride down and expose anything, and also looks great with just a sports bra or crop top. Plus, we find high-waisted leggings to be the most comfortable styles. Since there’s always room in your closet

Since the Centers For Disease Control (CDC) is recommending all Americans wear some kind of face covering when out in public, we’re stocking up on all the comfortable options we can find. At the moment, we’re interested in washable face masks that have a filter pocket. They’re reusable, which is awesome, and as long as
