“The first IVF baby was born in 1978. I am also fascinated that this field is that it keeps evolving. So the things that we learned 10 years ago are not the same as what we’re learning now,” Dr. DeUgarte explained.

In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, many people choose to become vegan or vegetarian.

These diets are popular as they are higher in fiber and lower in cholesterol, protein, calcium and salt.
Trillions of microorganisms live inside the human body, and we can support their thriving existence with supplemental probiotics. Probiotics can be naturally found in foods such as yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha drinks. Currently, the market is loaded with probiotic products for women.

Significant life changes can cause increased mental health struggles. Switching jobs, moving across the country, the death of a loved one or ending a long-term relationship are all changes that can prompt periods of depression. Childbirth, a tremendous change in the life of a mother, is no exception.
Antidepressants are typically an effective way for depression to ameliorate. However, while they can help someone return to a sense of normalcy, antidepressants can interfere with one’s ability to perform intimately. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop taking antidepressants or that there aren’t options. Instead, there’s still a good chance of balancing antidepressants with your sex life.
Suicide is a subject that puzzles many of us, motivates researchers and directs the development of many medical strategies and treatments. The motives behind such behavior are not usually visible, or they might even seem incomprehensible to those left behind. Suicide rates vary according to age and gender: women attempt suicide three times more than men, yet men end their lives three times more than women.
Psychedelics have long been associated with hippies, nightclubs and the 60s. However, new research and loosening regulation could move psychedelic usage away from illicit nightclubs and college parties and into clinical therapy for mental illnesses and battling addiction. This process, while slow, indicates that psychedelics are edging into more mainstream modes of psychiatric and clinical therapy.
Pets are an integral part of our lives. The joy they bring to everyday activities is infectious. With almost 40% of U.S. households having dogs and just over 25% owning cats, this feeling of joy is experienced by about 70 million households across the country.
But if you had to put your finger on how exactly pets improve our lives, what would you say?
Exercising is not just for keeping yourself physically fit. It can keep you mentally healthy as well.
