The new supplement to keep on hand for your most stressful situations (ahem, upcoming holiday season included)
November 11, 2018 at 06:30PM If you’re on the verge of breaking into a cold sweat even thinking about traveling home for the holidays (how early is too early to arrive at the airport?), welcome to the club. From hosting Friendsgiving in your apartment to eating a tad too much sugar, the added adrenaline of holiday party season means you need extra oomph in the anti-anxiousness department—beyond your usual mug of tea and swipe of lavender oil, that is. Which is why Calm A.S.A.P., an herbal supplement formulated to help promote feelings of tranquility, could be the chill pill you’re looking for to keep your cool during the craziness. “When you do notice the warning signs popping up, try introducing Calm A.S.A.P. to help you get through those stressful days with grace and poise,” says Dr. Mary Bove, a naturopathic physician with more than 40 years of experience and director of medical education at Gaia Herbs® (the brand that has long been known for its premium quality plant-based herbal formulas and adaptogens). The herbal blend taps standbys like lavender and chamomile, plus some lesser known plant powerhouses like skullcap and holy basil—making it a notable arrival on the natural supplement scene and a new candidate for ultimate-stress-meltdown support. Scroll down for 3 reasons to add this buzzy supplement to your anti-stress routine—and why women especially could use it.

How to deal if you feel pain *down there* after getting it on
November 11, 2018 at 10:14AM Real talk: For most women, it’s not all pleasure, all the time in between the sheets. Pain after sex happens to a lot of us, despite the fact that it’s not publicly discussed as often as masturbation or foreplay techniques—and it can be really troublesome, both physically and mentally. Post-sex pain can come in many forms, from period-like cramps to vaginal swelling, itching, or a burning sensation when you pee, says Sherry A. Ross, MD, women’s health expert and author of She-ology: The Definitive Guide to Women’s Intimate Health. Period. The first step toward fixing the issue, she says, is to identify what’s causing the discomfort in the first place. This isn’t something she recommends trying to figure out on your own—if the pain is consistent, your first move should be a visit to your gyno. You’ll be saving yourself lots of anxiety-filled hours Googling your symptoms away in the name of self-diagnosis. But to ensure that you have the most productive conversation with your MD as possible, there are a few common causes for postcoital pain that you may want to keep in mind before your appointment. Luckily, most of them are treatable—allowing you to fully enjoy the afterglow of getting busy, minus any uncomfortable distractions.  Keep reading to learn why you might feel pain after sex — and what to do about it. 1. Breastfeeding For new mamas, breastfeeding might explain pain after sex. “If you continue to breastfeed, you are still in postpartum menopause,
Are pecans the most underrated nut? Here are 5 reasons to add them to your snack haul
November 11, 2018 at 08:00AM Chances are, you don’t really think about pecans at very often—unless it’s the holiday season and you’re baking them into a pie. (Or they end up as one of the ingredients in packet of trail mix you buy at the store.) They definitely don’t receive the same amount of love as almonds, aka the most popular nut milk. So what’s the deal? Are pecans good for you? The answer is a resounding yes. These nuts boast a bevy of health benefits. “Pecans are nutrient-packed and contain a variety of vitamins,” says Neda Varbanova, certified culinary nutritionist, holistic health coach, and founder of Healthy with Nedi. The nutritional breakdown reads kind of like a multivitamin: They’re packed with B vitamins, folic acid, zinc, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A and E. Below, Verbanova breaks down the benefits of pecans, and why they’re worth a place in your pantry. 1. They’re lower in carbs than other nuts. If you follow the ketogenic diet, then you know that nuts, while high in healthy fats, count toward your meticulously calculated carb count. Varbanova says that pecans are lower in carbs that a lot of other nuts (they clock in at around four grams per one-ounce serving). To put that in perspective, almonds have six grams of carbs per one-ounce serving, and cashews contain nine grams. 2. They help support your immune system and fight inflammation. “Boost your immune system” and “fight inflammation” are buzz phrases you hear a lot in the wellness
Mercury going retrograde is just *one* thing creating cosmic drama this week
November 11, 2018 at 05:10AM The planetary movement known for creating transit nightmares—and making cellphones go kaput—has company this week. But the good news? That intensity can work for you as well. With a lot of cosmic change happening at once, here’s astrologer Jennifer Racioppi‘s best advice for getting the most out of the celestial conditions over the next seven days.  Monday, November 12 Yes! It’s a new week, with new opportunities to step into the highest (and happiest) version of your life. With the waxing crescent moon gaining momentum in the practical sign of Capricorn, you might feel the impetus to dig deep and do the work. You know the work I am talking about. The work of looking at your purest desires and motivations, and understanding where your shadow (the part of you that you suppress, repress, and deny) derails you. Now’s the time to believe in yourself. Go for your desires. Make a push on behalf of your dreams. Acknowledge what holds you back, and do your absolute best to move forward anyway. With the sun in a sextile to Pluto, while the moon conjoins powerhouse Pluto, you can get things done. Even more so with Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and abundance, (now in upbeat Sagittarius), making a manifesting trine to the north node of fate and destiny in Leo, now’s the time to believe in yourself. Go for your desires. Make a push on behalf of your dreams. Tuesday, November 13 Today, a day ripe
