Is ‘cortisol face’ actually a thing? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has someone on the internet warned you that high stress was giving you a round, puffy, “cortisol face”? Did they then try to sell you a supplement to cure it? We found countless testimonials from social media influencers describing how their faces swelled from high levels of the stress hormone cortisol — levels they alleviated through diet, de-stressing or taking over-the-counter supplements like magnesium or ashwagandha.

Why you shouldn’t stress about the sweetener xylitol yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The low-calorie sweetener xylitol, found in chewing gum, jams, and cough drops, is making headlines as a potential heart risk. Sounds alarming, but don’t clear out your pantry just yet.

Want to freeze your eggs? Here’s what to know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., publicly announced her plan to freeze her eggs, 32-year-old Lorenza Zebell got a text from a friend. “All the cool kids are doing it,” the message said, along with a screenshot of Ocasio-Cortez’ Instagram video about her decision. Zebell was a few days into her recovery from her own egg retrieval procedure — a step she decided to take after her older sister struggled to get pregnant. “I know that I want to have kids one day,” Zebell said.
