Gen Z Resurfaced the Ice Bucket For a New Cause — And It’s Going Viral Again
If you were around the Internet in 2014, you probably remember the ice bucket challenge. You know the drill: people dumping water on themselves, posting it online, and tagging their friends to do the same, all for the cause of raising money for ALS research. What you probably didn’t expect was the ice bucket challenge making a comeback 11 years later, thanks to Gen Z’s passion for mental health — and once again, it’s working. The ice bucket challenge resurfaced shek

I Thought It Was Covid, but It Was COPD
As told to Nicole Audrey Spector One day in 2023, I went for a walk. Just a simple walk. No biggie. When I got home, I was coughing. I was terrified that I had Covid. My terror was largely rooted in the fact that I have scleroderma. I was diagnosed in 2001, at the age of 19. Living with a chronic autoimmune disease like scleroderma makes you high-risk. Covid, I knew, could kill me. That night, I slept outside in Healthy

Facts About the Low FODMAP Diet
As you can probably guess by the name, there’s nothing warm and fuzzy about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). From abdominal pain — think steel-toed gremlins stomping on your guts — to diarrhea, bloating and constipation, IBS can take a serious toll on physical and mental health. This is especially true for women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB). Research shows women with IBS feel more fatigue and depression and have a lower quality of life compared to men with Healthy

Pensé que tenía covid, pero en realidad tenía EPOC
English Tal como lo relataron a Nicole Audrey Spector Salí a caminar un día de 2023. Era una caminata simple. No fue gran cosa. Cuando llegué a casa, estaba tosiendo. Estaba horrorizada porque pensé que tenía covid. Tenía pánico porque tengo esclerodermia. Me diagnosticaron en 2001, cuando tenía 19 años. Vivir con un trastorno autoinmunitario crónico tal como la escleroderma hace que tengas un riesgo alto. Sabía que podía morir de covid. Esa noche dormí afuera rodeada del aire caliente Healthy

Introducción a los pólipos nasales
English El 24 de abril de 2025 es el Día Mundial de Concientización de la CRSwNP [rinosinusitis crónica con pólipos nasales]. Tener la nariz tapada puede ser algo más que una molestia.

I Lived with Undiagnosed Lupus for Years — Because Doctors Refused to Test Me for It
As told to Nicole Audrey Spector I grew up in a home plagued by chronic illness. My mother had lupus, and I was her caregiver, starting at the age of 10. My grandmother had severe rheumatoid arthritis (I now believe it was tied to lupus that was never diagnosed). I provided care to her, too, since my mom was often too sick to get around, and Medicare only provided so much help — until they provided basically nothing. I did Healthy

It’s Time to Get as Much Plastic Out of Your Life as Possible
Most people don’t realize it, but those plastics clogging our waterways and littering our roads and parks, blowing through our skies, and trapping ocean creatures are made up of thousands of toxic chemicals that harm our health, our children’s health, and the health of all the creatures who get tangled up in plastic, or unwittingly eat it or breath it. We have plastics in our lungs, in our brains, in our blood. Nowadays, babies are born polluted with plastics. As shek

FAQs About Endometrial Cancer
You may not hear about endometrial cancer often, but it’s the most common gynecological cancer affecting women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) in the United States. This type of uterine cancer, which is cancer of the uterine lining, causes symptoms in early stages — the most common of which is vaginal bleeding. Because it has symptoms, endometrial cancer is often found early, when it’s easier to treat. While early-stage endometrial cancer is highly curable, health disparities do exist. Healthy

This Maternal Heart Condition Disproportionately Affects Black Women. Meet 3 Who Are Beating the Odds
Giving birth is a special time in a woman’s life, but for Black women, trying to navigate the experience can be a matter of life and death. The CDC reports that Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women. Multiple factors contribute to this disparity, from variations in healthcare quality and underlying chronic conditions to social determinants that prevent many Black women from having fair opportunities for economic, physical, and emotional maternal-fetal shek
