Me the morning after an (even resolved) argument w/ my partner: teary, pit in stomach, fatigue & brain fog all day. My partner: Completely unscathed & confused about what's wrong. I looked into "emotional hangovers" like mine for my 1st Vox story: vox.com/24119926/emoti…

I'd always heard walking & #running a mile burns about the same number of calories, you just get there faster if you run. But in reporting this story for Peloton, I learned that's not quite true. Check out the other pros/cons of running & walking here: onepeloton.com/blog/walking-v…

Inspired by the Olympians? Whether you're going for gold or embracing your golden years, you can eat like them -- just, mostly likely, less. Check out of my latest for AARP here: aarp.org/health/healthy… #diet #nutrition #olympics #freelancer #freelancewriting

This is excellent and hilarious and, as the parent of a worried-looking basset hound who also loves pizza crust and sand, very relatable.

Love this insight from Dr. Alfiee Breland-Noble She | Her: “When you do good work, somebody is going to pay attention—and sometimes you don't even know who is paying attention. I am evidence of that because I had no idea Melinda French Gates was paying attention to me.” apa.org/news/apa/2024/… via American Psychological Association

I learned all about #lactate threshold training for Peloton & the takeaway IMO is that most don't really need to worry about it. Pretty much any #training plan w/ variety is going to improve your threshold & so performance. Still interesting concept! onepeloton.com/blog/lactate-t…

As a steak & bacon lover, this news was hard to swallow, though not a huge shock: Just a few slices of bacon/day is linked to a 15% increase in type 2 diabetes risk. Check out more reasons to eat less meat (& how) via my latest AARP story here: aarp.org/health/healthy…

Polling for a story: Who's broken a bad snooze-button habit & how did you do it? (As a light sleeper & morning person, I think I've only ever hit snooze by accident, so I'm intrigued by those who used to easily fall back asleep- & then changed their ways). #journorequest #sleep

For American Psychological Association's Monitor on Psychology, I created a little dictionary of how *not* to use #mentalhealth terms like "trigger," "trauma," and "gaslighting." Here's a few examples from Erin Parks, PhD Dr. Tai Center for Anxiety, OCD, and CBT | Philadephia, PA & others apa.org/monitor/2024/0… #psychology #ocd #eatingdisorders
