So here’s something I never expected to Google: “Can BV make you feel bloated?” Sounds odd at first, right? But if you’ve ever dealt with bacterial vaginosis (BV), and suddenly you’re feeling bloated, gassy, or just “off” in your gut, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been there — confused, bloated like a balloon, and unsure…
If you’ve ever felt like no matter what you do—stretching, strengthening, massages, heating pads—your lower back still feels off, you’re not alone. I was there, lying on my back with a foam roller, wondering how something so small could ache so much. That’s when I stumbled onto something I had never considered: craniosacral therapy—specifically for…
It took me years to realize that one of the biggest triggers for my migraines wasn’t some exotic allergy or rare neurological issue—it was my chaotic schedule. I’d stay up late one night, wake up early the next, skip meals, overwork myself, and then wonder why my head felt like a balloon ready to burst….
If you’re someone who’s wrestled with migraines for years—like I have—you probably know how frustrating it can be when even the slightest trigger flips your whole day upside down.

That’s how overthinking pulls me in—and if you’re like me, it rarely stops there. It snowballs into full-blown anxiety, hijacking my ability…
If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at 2 a.m., your head pounding like a jackhammer while you desperately wish for sleep, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—staring at the ceiling, ice pack balanced on my forehead, wondering if this night will be any different. The brutal back-and-forth between chronic migraines and insomnia is…
So, the other night, I was enjoying some much-needed downtime—lights off, soft jazz playing, and a flickering candle flame dancing gently in front of me. Total bliss. But then it happened. I blinked, looked away from the candlelight, and—bam—those tiny drifting shadows appeared again. You know the ones. Floaters. This time, they were worse than…
Not gonna lie, I never gave much thought to how my hormones might be behind the pounding headaches I used to get right before my period. I chalked it up to stress or just “one of those things,” but over time, the pattern became too obvious to ignore. If you’ve ever felt a throbbing ache…
