Never get another urinary tract infection again!
I remember back in 1980 during my first year of college, I got the one and only urinary tract infection that I’ve ever had in my life. And the experience was so horrible, I still remember it vividly 40 years later. I was taking my finals and kept getting this incredible urge to pee.

Beyond BO—what sweating really means!

As a matter of fact, my son (who turns 22 years old today!) looked at my running shirt that was literally dripping and said laughingly, “Nice, Mom. You going to wear that to the office today?” (Wise guy.) All kidding aside, whether we like it or not, everyone sweats from time to time and that’s...
