🔄 ⚡ Tinea Versicolor: What It Is and How It Is Treated – Skin Type Solutions Skip to content By Dr. Leslie Baumann on October 14, 2025 If you’ve noticed small patches of discolored skin that seem dry, flaky, or won’t tan evenly, you might be dealing with a common skin condition called tinea versicolor. This condition is caused by a type of yeast that naturally lives on the skin but can sometimes grow out of control. While not…
Tuesday’s argument in Ellingburg v. United States turned on whether the ex post facto clause of the Constitution applies to the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act. That clause bars imposing criminal punishments based on statutes not in force when the crime occurred. Because the MVRA was adopted after Holsey Ellingburg’s offense, it would violate the ex post facto clause to apply it to determine Ellingburg’s punishment if the restitution it requires is “criminal” under that clause. The argument was interesting because the government (which prosecuted Ellingburg) now agrees with Ellingburg that the MVRA cannot be applied to increase his punishment. So…
There are times when grief feels personal, and times when it feels bigger than any one life. The grief many of us carry for Palestine is that kind of grief. It is collective, ancestral, and deeply human. Even when we are far away, even when we have never walked that land ourselves, something in us aches as though the loss is our own.This is not imagined. Neuroscience tells us that our nervous systems are wired for collective empathy. Mirror neurons fire when we witness suffering, and our bodies respond as if it is happening to us. For those of us…
It’s time to stop pushing through your cycle.
We lift weights to build muscles, head to pilates class to tone them, and foam roll or use a massage gun to help relieve tension. But there’s a muscle that many women don’t know they need to pay attention to until something goes awry—the pelvic floor.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday appeared ready to strike down a 2024 congressional map that a group of voters has challenged as the product of unconstitutional racial gerrymandering – that is, according to them, it sorts voters based on race in violation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. During nearly two-and-a-half hours of oral arguments, the court’s conservative justices signaled that they are likely to undermine a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, even if they may not ultimately strike it down altogether. Wednesday’s oral argument was the latest chapter in a dispute that dates back to 2022,…
Reflecting on the Meaning of HomeI was thinking about the concept of home and how home can represent the body, mind, and spirit. Home can also represent our family of origin, community, and the extension of that community, your city or town that you live in, the state, the country, and even the entire globe. I was thinking about this concept of home, thinking about how for me part of my healing journey has been reclaiming my home, not being afraid to be in my home, not being afraid to take up space in my home, not being afraid to be…
Happy mid-October, my friends! How are we? I had a tennis lesson last night (SO fun to have a new hobby) and it was 50 degrees–fall has arrived. And I was freezing. Jeff and I went out at 8pm (our bedtime) Saturday night and it felt so good to get dressed up! I would LOVE to know–what’s a recipe you’d love me to create right now? I could really use from inspo from my long time readers! I just sent an email about my fave filling salads lately–be sure to subscribe if you’re not on the list. And here’s September’s…
It’s that time of the year again when we’re all thinking a little more about our vitamin D levels. Having optimal vitamin D levels plays a crucial role in immune health in addition to supporting bone health, sleep, and blood sugar balance (this vitamin does a lot in the body).
The protein needs of active individuals are higher than the general population. Adequately refueling with enough protein and carbohydrates after exercise is critical to optimize your training, build muscle, and recover quickly. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, protein needs can usually be met through diet alone, without supplements. Protein can be found in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, tofu, tempeh, and varying amounts in grains and legumes. However, there may be situations in which a ready-made protein shake can come in handy. If you need a protein boost, a protein shake can be a quick and…
