Finding the right drug and alcohol rehab in New Jersey can feel overwhelming at exactly the moment clarity matters most.

Geography adds another consideration because driving distance can affect family involvement, regular visits, and the transition into aftercare. Our top pick is Legacy Healing New Jersey for New Jersey residents seeking personalized, full-spectrum addiction treatment that also addresses co-occurring mental health conditions. It brings addiction treatment, therapy, and co-occurring care into one program…

Key Takeaways Weight loss after 40 can be affected by changes in muscle mass, activity levels, sleep, stress, and menopause. Focus on protein, fiber-rich foods, portion awareness, and regular physical activity rather than extreme diets. Include strength training to help preserve muscle while losing weight.

A gradual approach is generally easier to maintain and can help protect muscle and overall health. PCOS, menopause, medications, and certain health conditions can affect weight management and may require individualized support. If…

It’s not “just” anything.   You’re Not Alone (And You’re Not Imagining It) Here’s what the research tells us: An…

On September 29, 2026, Lady A co-founder Charles Kelley sat beside his wife Cassie on Instagram and told millions of fans something he had been processing privately for weeks. He had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer that affects the plasma cells in the bone marrow. The diagnosis didn’t come from a routine screening. It started with something that seemed unrelated: a series of unexplained rib fractures. His doctor ordered blood work to investigate. One of those blood tests found the cancer. Kelley’s announcement came less than four years after he publicly entered treatment for alcohol abuse,…

I’m going to be thinking about our meal at Isla for a long time. Isla in Merion Village is easily one of Columbus’ best restaurants. It grew out of husband-and-wife duo Andrew Smith and Devoney Mills hosting supper clubs at their home for several years, and the restaurant follows that same sense of hospitality and community centered around food and drink with a story. Their restaurant space is tucked into the same building as Jennings Java Coffee Roasters. It’s warmly decorated with books and plants. The menu changes monthly, but each bite we had was interesting, fun, and thoughtfully constructed.…

“Reinvent yourself” is a popular mantra. Jean Titus lived it. The former investment adviser began building his own ventures after the 2008 downturn. Then his mother died, and a chance meeting with a former pro athlete made him realize his fitness had slipped below his own standards. “I started getting serious about this when I realized I wasn’t doing my best, and I wanted to do better,” he recalls. “I didn’t know what that meant exactly, but I knew I could go out every day and just keep pushing it.” Then came a beach vacation. One of his daughters snapped…

If you keep snapping awake at around 3 a.m. and then lie there watching the minutes crawl by, you are in very common company. That early morning wake-up is one of the most frequent sleep complaints there is, and it can feel unsettling, as though something is wrong with your body or your night. Here is the reassuring part. Waking briefly during the night is normal and happens to everyone, whether they remember it or not. The real problem is not the waking itself. It is being unable to fall back asleep, and then worrying about it, which keeps you…
