From the September 12, 2019 issue of Further I just heard the funniest news about my cousin, a registered dietician who’s made a career helping people overcome life-threatening health issues. She’s now a certified Laughter Yoga Leader. So much for goat yoga. Seriously though, my cousin’s new vocation makes sense. I know I use humor …
From the September 5, 2019 issue of Further Fifty years ago, Simon & Garfunkel wrote an anthem that is as relevant today as it was back in the Summer of Love: 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy).

From the August 28, 2019 issue of Further I took up mediation at 50 in anticipation of two of life’s biggest challenges: my kids leaving the nest and my parents’ age-related decline.

From the August 8, 2019 issue of Further My friend, who’s a vegetarian for health reasons, is having a fast-food renaissance. He’s already a devoted fan of Del Taco’s Beyond Meat tacos, and is eagerly anticipating Burger King’s new Impossible Whopper. The proliferation of plant-based meat into on-the-go meals points to the fact that what …
From the July 31, 2019 issue of Further Recently I identified the prime culprit behind my skin allergies — the cream I put in my morning coffee. And it seems I’m not alone. With around 60% of adults unable to digest milk, lactose persistence (the ability to tolerate milk after infancy) is more the oddball …
From the July 25, 2019 issue of Further Of all the adulting moves, rational midlife money management may well be the most daunting. In other words, it’s easy to procrastinate putting together a long-term plan because our brains don’t exactly care about our future selves. Pile on top of that the complex relationships that many …
