In April of last year, Jade Carey mathematically clinched an individual ticket to the Tokyo Olympics with her vault performances at the Apparatus World Cup series.

Serena Williams is taking a break from competing in the Olympic Games. On June 27, the tennis pro confirmed she will be skipping the competition in Tokyo this year. She told reporters before the 2021 Wimbledon Championships began, “I’m actually not on the Olympic list . . . not that I’m aware of. And if

Before microwaveable heating pads and stick-on menstrual relief patches were in existence, hot water bottles were the MVPs in heat therapy. These tools are tried and true for soothing all sorts of discomfort and keeping you warm on a chilly day. But they’re especially helpful to have on hand when period cramps strike, as heat

It feels like the US Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics approximately ten years ago (it was last March, which, same thing), but the time has finally come to reveal their 2021 game schedule for the rescheduled Games! The USWNT are in Group G, which is a tough one: they’ll

Supplements are a an essential part of my daily wellness routine, but sometimes I wonder if they’re actually doing what they say they’ll do on the box. After getting an invitation to take a Thorne x KINRGY class with Julianne Hough, I saw it as a great opportunity to see if these Thorne supplements will

@drmalekpt There’s a chance stretching may not be working in your favor!

I have mild cerebral palsy that affects my left arm and leg, which isn’t necessarily uncommon. What’s far less typical about my experience with cerebral palsy, though, is that I don’t fit neatly into others’ expectations of what someone with cerebral palsy is “supposed to” look like. I don’t use mobility aids or walk with

Beach volleyball player April Ross made her Olympic debut at the 2012 London Summer Games, but she’s been bumping, setting, and spiking for more than 20 years.

“I’ll come to you,” she said before we hung up. After getting lost in St. Louis on the way to my friend’s house — a city that always causes me to feel uneasy anyway, thanks to past trauma — I was lucky enough to find a gas station where a friendly worker let me borrow

Simone Biles makes gymnastics, a sport known for its four-inch beam and gravity-defying tumbling, look easy. Her eight-year all-around winning streak continues, and that alone — and the fact that she is the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history — classifies her as the GOAT. On top of that, and many more records, she

The Tokyo 2021 Olympics will be here sooner than you know, and one competition we’re excited to watch is skateboarding.

If you’ve ever gotten a headache from a too-tight ponytail, Danila Bim’s line of work may not be for you.

I started using The Five Minute Journal on January 1, 2021, as a way to bring some more mindfulness to my days. I start my day off with some gratitude practice, intention setting, and affirmations, and I end my day with positivity and reflection. It really does take just a few minutes, and not only

Picking up an over-the-counter soothing vulva cream at your local drugstore might seem like an easier solution to treat itching or dryness than scheduling time with your doctor, but if you’re experiencing any sort of discomfort or changes to your vulva (or vaginal health in general!), speaking with a medical specialist is always the best

She was working at New York City cabaret

Rhubarb is one of those quintessential spring and summer vegetables: bright pink, bitter stalks that pair amazingly with strawberries.

It can feel nearly impossible to accurately estimate exactly how much you’ve bled during your period by just glancing at your tampon before tossing it in the trash can.
