International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026 For decades, women’s health has been framed through the lens of hormones. But the emerging science of metabolism suggests that insulin resistance, inflammation and lifestyle factors may be the underlying drivers behind many of the conditions affecting women today. A worrying trend for women’s health Around the world, women face increasing rates of chronic health conditions. Infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), depression, autoimmune diseases, metabolic syndrome and abnormal uterine bleeding are becoming more common. At the same time, many women report fatigue, weight gain, digestive problems, mood swings and brain fog—symptoms that often begin…

A new perspective argues that understanding the lifelong web of environmental exposures, from early childhood to older age, could unlock more precise strategies to prevent mental illness and improve mental health care. Throughout the lifespan, external exponents—including individual and structural exposures—become incorporated into the body as the internal exponent. These dynamic exposures interact at critical life stages, influencing biological processes and shaping downstream health outcomes. In a recent perspective published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacologythe researchers suggest that understanding environmental exposures across the lifespan can help transform mental health research and clinical care. The multidimensional framework, which includes physical, chemical, social…
For safe Holi care in 2026, women should focus on barrier prep 48 hours before play, protective layer on the day and gentle cleansing with oil first.

Be Bodywise’s AHA-BHA Body Pack (1% Salicylic Acid Wash + 5% Lactic Lotion) can support texture restoration 48–72 hours later if the skin is not irritated. For hair resilience, Biotin Hair Gummies can help strengthen strands with 8-12 weeks of consistent use. Prioritize barrier restoration over aggressive exfoliation.Why Holi Care is different for…
Meet Tonia, one of our founding Ambassadors who turned sharing beauty into a £250 million business that changed her life (and thousands of others). Beauty is best shared – this has always been the simplest truth behind Tropic. Not because everyone needs another cleanser, but because people buy from people. They buy from trust, from recommendation, from the friend who says, “Try this – it’s really good.” We chose direct selling for this very reason: it keeps the value where it belongs: with the people doing the sharing, not in the pockets of third-party retailers. And for those at the…

Smoking weed can do more than just blur memories. It can reshape them. A new Washington State University study found that people who consumed THC were more likely to remember words that were never presented and had difficulty with everyday tasks, such as remembering to do something later. Posted on Journal of Psychopharmacologythe study is one of the most comprehensive examinations to date of how cannabis affects memory. The findings show that cannabis can impair not only simple recall, such as memorizing a list of words, but also forms of memory that people rely on in everyday life, such as…
With Johanna Younghans Baker The National Center for Health Statistics reported that fertility rates across the country have declined from 2015 to 2020, with 43 states recording the lowest fertility rates seen in 30 years. Most of the research and discussion around fertility care usually focuses on the woman, without much consideration in terms of helping men struggling with the same problem. But now new research may help improve that. In the magazine Urology, researchers found that having insurance companies cover male fertility proceduresalong with female ones, is associated with more use of IVF or IVF and a higher…
If you’ve ever read “clinically proven” on a bottle and still felt unsure, you’re not alone. A lot of skin care language sounds scientific, but it doesn’t always mean what people assume. It also doesn’t help that skincare is a noisy place. Trends move quickly, and many people say they see misinformation and confusing claims all the time. Even well-meaning creators often repeat the most compelling version of the story. Here’s the quiet truth: ingredients aren’t “good” or “bad.” The evidence lies on a spectrum. Some ingredients have strong human data. Some have early hints. Some are mainly marketing. This…
