The Straight Dope: How Marijuana Actually Affects The Brain
Many fitness instructors push the idea of exercise as competition, punishment or penance. But a body positive fitness class will focus on how you feel over how you look and help you find positive motivations for exercisingâones that don’t involve comparison or contrition.

British law still prevents altering an egg or embryo before implanting it into a woman. But three way in vitro fertilizationâcreating a fetus with three genetic parentsâis gaining popular support in Britain, according to a government task force. More
Matthew McConaughey says friend Lance Armstrong “told a lie” but he isn’t “a liar.â Huh? Isn’t the definition of liar âa person who tells lies?” More
We have to find ways to de-polarize the discussion around vaccines, a way to understand the overall benefits of immunization while also acknowledging the potential for specific, limited drawbacks to individual vaccines. This was made clear by the mockery one doctor received for suggesting a link between the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine and narcolepsyâa link that’s been validated several times. More
âYou have such naturally beautiful skin,â is a compliment I get a lot. Iâm always thankful for it, but Iâm also quick to correct it. See, I donât have naturally beautiful skin. I first saw a dermatologist when I was eight years old, when I started getting severe eczema. I have a few scar patches from my early skin problems, mostly in unnoticeable areas. As is common, on top of the eczema Iâve also got super sensitive skin. If I sleep on sheets washed in the wrong detergent, my face will let me know the next morning. More
Twinkle lights, snowmen, menorahs, trimmed trees, presents, and some of the greatest movies ever madeââtis the season. Unfortunately, the holidays also bring stress and, for many, relapses and triggers for mental health issues, including eating disorders. Even the most balanced of people feel the anxiety of the holidays creeping up on them as they start gearing up for the season. Eating disorders in particular can be triggered, not only by the stress and anxiety of the season, but also by all of the focus on food (and holiday weight gain) at so many holiday events. More
You probably know that using a menstrual cup will save anywhere between 10,000-15,000 pads and tampons from ending up in landfills over the course of a womanâs menstruating life. You might also know that if you switched to a menstrual cup, you could save around $4,000 over the course of your own period and pms-filled years. But letâs be honest: Youâre a bit grossed out by the idea of a reusable menstrual product, or youâre freaked out by how to use menstrual cups. So Iâm here to motivate you to switch over to a cup, and Iâm not going to use any of that data to persuade you. More
Meditating does not come naturally for me. As a kid, I would get moderately depressed over the summer holidays without the constant activity from school. I’m a poster child for the Millennial Generation: When I watch tv, Iâve usually got my computer screen open and my phone out so I can flip through apps. Iâve learned to focus over the years, but Iâm naturally active, perhaps a bit over-active, both mentally and physically. So it’s both surprising, and completely predictable, that I found my inner zen at trapeze school, of all places. More
Nearly every fashion magazine features a regular spread offering to help women âDress for Your Body Type.â Theyâre about finding the right jeans, or the best pencil skirt, or the optimal top for various body types: apple, rectangle, curvy, wedge, triangle, full figured, boyish, curvy, hourglass, and athletic, to give a sampling. But aside from the obvious problem of reducing womenâs bodies to geometrical shapes, fruit metaphors, and thinly veiled insults, there are some deeper issues sparked by this framework. More

True Or False: Marathoners Can Eat Whatever They Want
I’ve been a perfectionist since long before I had any other issues, though anxiety, depression and crippling self doubt eventually followed. I had disordered eating patterns well before I had body image issues, though now they have been intertwined for some time. And for me, part of my support network, part of finding my way back out of my impulses to control my food, part of my recovery, involved hiring a trainer. More
