(Reference Image: Canva) An expectant woman stressed during pregnancy While many expectant moms experience a surge of stress during pregnancy, it’s also a period of enthusiasm and anticipation. Balancing professional obligations and preparing for a new life can be too much to handle. This emotional pressure may impact the mother and the developing child, frequently manifested as worry or anxiety. Stress impacts the body and mind, affecting sleep, appetite, general health, an

(Reference image Canva) Almost everyone has a pregnancy scare at one time or another. There is an anxious, stressful moment when you wonder if you might be pregnant after unprotected sex or in case of a contraceptive failure. Perhaps it’s a missed period, nausea, a broken condom, or a forgotten pill. These triggers give rise to sudden panic: the rush of questions, overwhelming emotions, and endless online searches about “signs of pregnancy scare,” “when to take a pregnancy te

Your microbiome, or the community of beneficial bacteria, is undergoing major shifts to support your recovery. These changes, though natural, can feel overwhelming when you’re adjusting to life with a newborn. Research shows that your gut  and vaginal  microbiomes adapt significantly after

(Reference image: CANVA) You hear it throughout pregnancy: “Breastfeeding is natural,” “Breastmilk is best,” “Babies just know what to do.” So when you finally start breastfeeding and feel a sharp sting in your nipples every time your baby latches, you’re shocked. It hurts, but everyone has told you this is supposed to be the most natural, beautiful part of motherhood. Because of that messaging, many mothers quietly decide that Pain during breastfeeding is something they must

Let’s start with NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) - a molecule that’s become the talk of longevity science for one simple reason: it helps your body make more NAD+. And NAD+ is the quiet powerhouse deciding how efficiently your cells age. If your mornings have started feeling like “battery low” before even opening your laptop, this little molecule might be the missing piece. By 50, your body’s NAD+ levels drop to around 40% of what they were in your twenties. And that silent

Peptides did not enter the fitness world because of bodybuilding success stories. They entered because of research failure gaps. Most people discussing peptides for muscle growth do not realise this. These compounds were not discovered to “build muscle faster.” They were explored because existing medical tools failed to regulate hormones precisely enough. The fitness industry arrived later, after observing partial biological signals and infilling the missing data with assumpt

When your period doesn’t show up, it’s almost impossible not to think of pregnancy first. That’s usually the top concern, and for good reason. But here’s the thing: a late or missed period paired with a negative pregnancy test doesn’t automatically mean you can check the box and move on.  Cycles can suddenly stop for many reasons, sometimes due to stress or changes in routine, or even travel, and at other times due to certain health conditions that deserve a closer look. The

Pregnancy is a life-changing experience that is full of excitement and expectation, but also a good number of mental and physical obstacles. Uncomfortable symptoms, including backaches, swollen feet, nausea, and exhaustion, are common for expectant moms. Despite being widespread, these discomforts can cloud what ought to be a time of joy, impacting not only your physical health but also your mental health and daily life. Although each symptom reveals the body’s remarkable cap

(Source: CANVA) Creatine suffers from a branding problem. It is often discussed as if it belongs  to gyms, locked behind dumbbells, protein shakers, and before–and–after photos. That framing has quietly distorted how people think about it. As a result, a non-gym goer asking about creatine is made to feel like they are asking the wrong question. But they are not. Creatine is not a “training supplement.” It is a cellular energy compound that existed in human physiology long bef
