When Marianne Martin won the first women’s Tour de France Féminin in 1984, it seemed that women’s cycling had a bright future. It was more than 80 years behind the 21-stage men’s race, which had been going strong since 1903, but what mattered was that it was happening at all. Then, just five years later,

The fight-flight-freeze response to stress feels almost intuitive. It’s easy to understand why, in the face of danger, your body might have the urge to protect itself (by fighting back or running away) or shut down entirely (freezing). The fawn response, on the other hand, seems less sensical, until you learn more about it. This

Gigi Robinson is busy. The 24-year-old influencer, photographer, podcast host, and entrepreneur recently added “swimsuit model” to her stacked list of credentials when she became the first Sports Illustrated model to openly speak about her chronic illness.

Maybe you’ve seen people heading into your gym’s sauna after a workout but never really understood why, or maybe you just

Hi! Marathoner-in-training here. As someone who has *quite* a long way to go before I set off on the Staten Island bridge at the 2022 New York City Marathon, I’ve been pretty generous about treating myself to special activewear as a little motivator, if you will.

IUDs are a super-convenient, hands-off form of birth control — your doctor inserts it and, ideally, you don’t have to think about it again, aside from checking the strings and replacing it before it expires.
