When I first started paying close attention to how my skincare products were affecting my body, I never imagined that it could be connected to something as disruptive and uncomfortable as bacterial vaginosis (BV). I used to think of skincare and vaginal health as completely unrelated, but turns out, what we put on our skin—especially…
It’s easy to assume that taking probiotics daily is a “set it and forget it” kind of deal. I used to think the same. A few capsules every morning with my smoothie, no questions asked. But after a while, I noticed things felt…off. Bloating returned, digestion felt sluggish, and that familiar “balanced gut” feeling? Gone….
Have you ever had a migraine that just wouldn’t quit? Like, it overstayed its welcome by days — not just hours? I’ve been there. I once had what felt like a raging thunderstorm trapped in my skull for almost four straight days. Turns out, it wasn’t just a stubborn migraine—it was something far more relentless:…

Ever stood up after a long Netflix binge or an extended desk session and suddenly noticed weird squiggly lines or floating specs in your vision? Yeah, same here. The first time it happened to me, I thought it was just my eyes adjusting from staring at the screen too long. But when it kept showing…
When my younger brother started skipping family dinners and avoiding phone calls, I didn’t think much of it at first. But over time, it became clear—he was drowning in something he couldn’t explain.
