Stress has occasionally driven me to drink—but this year I made a New Year’s resolution to swap Sancerre for what the Internet has christened the “Cortisol Cocktail.” A concoction comprised of coconut water, lemon, and orange juice tastes really nice—think fancy spa water!—and has a health-boosting combination of magnesium, vitamin C, and sodium. While studies show that all of these ingredients work individually to help lower stress hormones, the drink itself has never been studied. But it’s got to be better than the hangxiety that comes with half a bottle of wine…
I first slipped an Oura ring onto my finger in 2022. While relatively recent, it still predated the days when biohacking and optimization slipped into everyday dinnertime conversation—and before things like “sleep score” became part of the common vernacular. Since then, I’ve talked to every celebrity out there about the experience (Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Sofia Richie Grange, etc.). Last month, I switched from the baby-pink ceramic style to the new, much-thinner Oura ring 5. The first thing I noticed was that it’s much more fashion-forward and blends into an existing ring stack perfectly. The second? The newer feature of tracking my heart rate zones. I’ve newly recommitted to exercising—I know, I know, a wellness editor who doesn’t exercise … blasphemy!—and am now obsessed with situating myself in zones 2 and 3. If you haven’t jumped on this wellness bandwagon, I promise it’s worth it.
Q:Hello! What’s the fiber supplement you were discussing on your episode of The Run-Through?
A: After being diagnosed with Celiac disease in the summer of 2020, I went cold turkey on gluten—but didn’t realize the adverse effects not eating things like whole-grain bread would have on my gut. The NIH has found that almost every single American is already deficient in fiber (you should aim for somewhere between 25 and 38 grams per day, depending on various lifestyle factors), and it’s even worse for those who adhere to speciality diets. One of the ways I make sure to hit that goal is to take the fiber supplement from Love Wellness every night before bed, which is a blend of psyllium seed, vegetables, and digestive enzymes, which has 1.5 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber. I also eat two Sakara fiber gummies during the afternoon (it’s kind of like a Swedish fish spiked with 6 more grams of fiber) and add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into a glass of water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then chug it (10 grams of fiber, but somewhat less pleasant) and try to start every meal with a salad the size of my hand. Yes, it is a lot of work, but with gut-related diseases and colon cancer on the rise, it’s worth the hassle.
