Supplements (© MarekPhotoDesign.com – stock.adobe.com) HomeGoods is the go-to place for beautiful rugs, sofa cushions, cute plates, and handy lunch containers. It might not be the first place you think of when you want nutritional supplements, but the chain does have a great selection. But when retailers stray from their roots and move into the health and wellness space, there’s a big problem. As a nutritionist, I often browse the supplement aisle to see what stores are selling and am always surprised at how wacky and low quality the products are. Since supplements are unregulated, it’s important to know what…

When I published my first exodus model several years ago, one of the reactions I received was that it didn’t include people who left because of abuse by the church. In the first 32 case studies I considered in developing the model, I found nothing resembling a pattern of abuse or mistreatment. To be sure, some of the exodus members complained that various teachings and doctrines caused them emotional distress, but this was largely an afterthought, not what I would consider to be direct, malicious abuse from the church. But in the years that followed, themes of abuse, religious trauma,…
Joe Pisani WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Ken Santopietro has led the Connecticut Catholic Men’s Conference for 12 years, and he says it’s “the spiritual booster shot that all men need,” more so this year than ever. The 17th annual Connecticut Catholic Men’s Conference, bringing together men from across the state, will be held Sept. 21 at Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford, where nationally known speakers will address the theme, “The Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell.” Santopietro said the panel will include CPM, author and preacher Father Wade L.J.

Aging can show up in many ways—crow’s feet, smile lines, sagging skin—but one of the most troubling is wrinkled skin, which looks and feels weak and thin. Plus, wrinkles tend to appear over large areas of the body, so the products you use to treat them need to be powerful (and not the ones that come in tiny, expensive bottles). Luckily, Naturewell Clinical Retinol Advanced Moisture Cream, a big bottle of gooey cream that’s long been raved about by consumers for its anti-aging benefits, is now available for just $10 (down from $25). Lowest price ever.AmazonThis non-greasy cream is designed…

Whether you’re trying to conceive, have recently conceived, or are considering switching over from your current pre-natal products, I can confidently say that we all ultimately want the same thing. A prenatal multivitamin that gives you and your growing baby all the important nutrients and I don’t feel nauseous the moment I open the bottle. Now, if you’re new to pre-pregnancy supplements, you might think this isn’t such a tall order for a supplement brand to meet, but as someone who’s been pregnant twice and knows many other pregnant women, I feel that this isn’t the case for most people.…
Healthcare professionals usually recommend prenatal vitamins for those who are trying to become pregnant, those who are already pregnant, and those who are breastfeeding or breastfeeding. These supplements ensure that pregnant and breastfeeding people get enough essential vitamins and minerals during pregnancy and the postpartum period. “After all, pregnancy and breastfeeding take a huge toll on the body,” says Renita White, M.D., a Georgia-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist. Prenatal vitamins can help fill in nutritional gaps, prevent deficiencies, and reduce the risk of premature birth and low birth weight, but they can also cause side effects in some cases. “The problem is…
