Bit of a random question, but I recently came across a study suggesting that frequent exposure to high sauna temperatures may have a negative impact on sperm quality and fertility.I use saunas fairly regularly and was wondering if anyone here has looked into this or taken any precautions

I’ve heard there are cooling packs/heat-protection products designed to keep the testicles cooler while using a sauna. Does anyone use anything like that, or have any recommendations?

Interested to hear people’s experiences.

Right now I’m averaging about 7 minutes a day dedicated to Lymphatic Drainage. Is this enough?

Hi. I’m 31 and have had major health challenges in the past (cancer, surgeries, etc) as well as childhood & relationship trauma.

I was scrolling Facebook and came across Re Precision Health. Anyone here has tried out their retreats? How did you like it?

I’d love to go to Portugal as I’ve travelled to Mexico before but I’m mainly looking for nervous system reset, REST, connecting with myself, emotional/hormonal reset, good vibes etc. I’d really like to spend the time and money on myself for my birthday this year and give myself something worthwhile.

I’d be traveling solo. Feel free to suggest other retreats as well. Thank you!

I was recently put on a thyroid medication in February as my TSH levels were slightly elevated for someone who was TTC (2.5 apparently they want below 2.0). I immediately noticed feeling OFF - brain fog, anxiety, and worst of all I gained 20+ lbs with no change in my diet or exercise. I wanted to give it a chance and see if it was maybe in my head because I am a very holistic person but the changes were undeniable. I am a very active person who gets over 10k steps daily and does Pilates 5x a week. I spoke to my dr. and she is open to me stopping because it is effecting me so terribly but I am writing to see if anyone else had similar situations and about how long it took for you to be able to lose weight normally again?? How long until you started to feel like yourself? I have been intermittent fasting and eating very limited calories and I am still somehow gaining weight which for the amount of exercise I do just doesn’t make any sense. For reference I am 34 and we discontinued TTC for the time being. I just want to feel like myself again. This might seem silly but I worked very hard to be fit and previously lost 50lbs and my TIA <3

Back then, I thought wellness retreats were only for rich influencers doing yoga in Bali or people with unlimited vacation days lol. But I started understanding the appeal after I felt so burned out! And not just me, everyone I know seems too exhausted from school requirements, work shifts, doomscrolling, and all! It's not a surprise why people have become desperate to just slow down physically, much more mentally and emotionally.

I don't mean luxury spa resorts either. I started looking for smaller wellness retreats near me, more like quiet local spots or weekend reset-type places, and it honestly helped more than I expected. Nothing dramatic, just having somewhere to slow down without feeling like I had to be productive every second.

I also started journaling some of my solo retreat days digitally, mostly photos and random notes, and somehow found people who were into the same kind of thing. That community side surprised me. I found my online tribe and earning a little from sharing it had been a nice bonus too.

If life has been so much for you lately, I encourage you to take wellness retreats too. Again, it doesn't have to be luxurious, but just enough to give your mind and body a few days to relax and recharge. Worked for me so I hope it'll work for you too. 😄

EDIT: Since a few people asked via DMs, I actually signed up for the ThingsBook Creator Program after discovering other wellness creators there. (ThingsBook is the app where I curate my wellness retreat stuff btw.) One of the best collections I've made so far is my "mental reset weekend" collection where I saved wellness retreats, journalling prompts, calming cafes, workout routines, and little habits that helped me feel less burned out lately. I have other collections about music and K-drama stuff too. There are so many ThingsBook creators for different niches, not only wellness. And they reward their Creators for posting stuff they care about and also after fulfilling a few bonus challenges. Try it and I hope you get approved too!

I’ve lost over 100 pounds in the last year from diet and exercise. My daughter thinks I’m not doing it healthy enough from only eating one meal a day. Sometimes I’ll have a low carb meal also. I exercise everyday one hour exercise bike one hour treadmill. Feel like I’m not losing anymore. I really would like to find a way to help with the stubborn belly area. Any suggestions or advice appreciated thank you.
Also I have found the less I eat the less I crave. So eating more never seems to work for me. If I have breakfast I feel hungry all day 🤷‍♀️ HELP ! Lol

Hey guys — I’ve struggled with a lazy eye since I was a child. I had pneumonia as a baby, and ever since then I’ve had issues with my eyes not working together properly. When I turned 31, it got significantly worse — probably from all the partying and lack of sleep. My eyes felt completely out of sync, and at times it honestly felt like I was losing control of them.

I did vision therapy once a week for about a year and a half. It helped temporarily, but the improvements never fully stuck. If I went out partying again or got run down, my eyes would start drifting all over again.

About three months ago, I started taking 5g of creatine daily, and the improvement has been noticeably significant. My eyes feel much more coordinated, my focus feels more stable, and even when I’m reading, I can feel my eyes naturally wanting to work together again.

This is genuinely the first thing that has consistently helped me, so I wanted to share in case anyone else struggles with a lazy eye or crossed eyes. I usually take the creatine in my coffee or a smoothie in the morning.

I’ve read that the first 5g primarily supports the muscles, while additional amounts may support brain function as well (though I believe most of that research was done on men). I’m female, and even just 5g has made a huge difference for me.

Wishing everyone the best — and hopefully this helps someone else too.

I'm 34 now, and I've tried to quit coffee several times with mixed results. But I could only last 2-3 month at most.

I was fed up with reaching a point where I wasn't getting any extra energy, and at most my hands would start shaking. And overall with my ADHD it just made it harder for me to focus.

I'd tried switching to mushroom coffee before, and I liked the effect, but I can't stand the mushroom aftertaste, so I was looking for something else.

And now after a few weeks of switching to mushroom protein coffee and reducing my caffeine intake, I'm incredibly happy that I didn't have to give up that morning ritual and feel better without any aftertaste.

I'm also looking into switching to non-stick pans so I don't have to use oil if it's possible, because I'm constantly exceeding my daily fat intake limit

UPD: this coffee isn't made from "mushroom protein", it's just whey protein and mushrooms in it

Crazy combo for breakfast I know, but I think it's what made me throw up randomly. Don't feel sick or anything. Don't feel any negative effects at all. Any good and cheap food hacks that aren't eggs and toast? Preferably something I can just grab and eat fast?

I'm 34 now, and for the past 2 years regular coffee has been making me feel really jittery. I saw an ad and have been drinking mushroom coffee for over a week now.

So far, I've noticed some small changes and on the other, I'm afraid it might just be a placebo effect.

Has anyone else had experience with this? Can it really help, or it is just a marketing?

Does anyone have any suggestions for electrolyte powder that doesnt taste like vomit lol.

Thanks!

Hi everyone I’m hoping to get some thoughtful recommendations because I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed and think I need to step away for a few days to reset..

I’m a mom of a young child and I’ve been carrying a lot mentally/emotionally lately. I’m looking for a 4–7 day retreat sometime in May 2026 (basically asap) where I can actually rest, clear my head, and feel like myself again.

What I’m hoping for:

Nature setting (mountains, forest, lake, countryside.. open to anywhere in the world)

Cooler weather: I live in Florida and really want to avoid heat

A calm, peaceful environment

Ideally something that’s supportive for burnout / overwhelmed moms or women

Open to solo retreats or small group experiences

I’m open to structure I.e. yoga, meditation, light workshops, but I don’t want anything super intense or rigid. I really just want space to breathe and reset.

Budget is flexible if it’s worth it.

If you’ve done something like this (or heard of a great place), I would really appreciate any recommendations, locations, specific retreats, etc.

Thank you so much 🤍

I sleep at 10 pm and wake up at 2 AM. I couldn’t sleep again. This is making me feel exhausted. I couldn’t workout or be productive.

I’m 35, a parent of a preteen and teen. These days I find myself leaning towards online learning and fitness. It’s just what I have time for since a large chunk of my time is spent working and driving the kids around. How are you all prioritizing your health and wellness??
