| | October 1, 2025 |  | | | | | | | | It's officially Sober October. I don't observe, but a new study is making me rethink.
Researchers found even small amounts of alcohol can increase dementia risk.¹ The good news? There are tons of great alcohol alternatives to sip this fall.

It can leave dishes spotty, overwork appliances, and impact water pressure. Plus, it wreaks havoc on your skin and hair.
"Minerals in our water can build up on our hair and skin," explains skin expert Amy Koberling, PA-C. This build-up disrupts your skin barrier—so moisture escapes and irritants get in.
The result? Dryness, redness, and irritation. That's why Koberling recommends Culligan's Water Softeners.
Their advanced softeners use ion exchange to reduce mineral buildup. Each system is designed with precision technology and customized to your household needs.
Why Koberling swears by Culligan: - Water tested for specific minerals pre-installation
- Culligan experts handle installation (you don't have to lift a finger!)
- Option for smart meters or to skip WiFi tech
Koberling's experience: "From the first wash, my shampoo lathered better and my hair was shinier and softer. As far as my skin, I noticed less breakouts, less acne flares, and that dryness and dehydration continued to get better." | | | | | | | | | | | No home gym? No problem. These compact, space-saving fitness tools let you crush workouts without taking over your living room. | | | | | | | |  Image by ZHPH Production / Stocksy | | Feeling sluggish or struggling to maintain your weight? Your thyroid might be trying to tell you something.
What the science says:³ - 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease
- Women are up to 8x more likely than men to have thyroid issues
- 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid disorder in their lifetime
- Up to 60% of people with thyroid disease don't know it
Testing your thyroid should be a regular part of your bloodwork. Already did your annual check-in? An at-home test can give you a quick update.
What your test should cover: - TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): Triggers production of T3 & T4
- Free T4: Reveals whether your thyroid is making too much (or not enough) hormone
- Free T3: Shows whether your body isn't converting T4 into T3 properly
- Antibodies (TPO & TgAb): High levels warn your immune system could be attacking thyroid
👉 Our top pick: Everlywell Thyroid Test
FYI: If labs look normal but you still feel sluggish, ask to test your Reverse T3. Low levels can disrupt normal thyroid function (but it's not included in standard panels). | | | | | Benefits of soft water | | | | | Hard water is more common than you think—and it impacts your home from the inside out.
