What does it actually mean to age well? In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney sits down with former professional volleyball player, entrepreneur, and wellness advocate, Gabby Reece, for an honest conversation about strength, longevity, and redefining what healthy aging looks like. Gabby shares how her perspective on fitness has evolved over the years, why building muscle is one of the most important investments women can make, and how recovery has become just as essential as training itself.Together, they discuss practical ways to build sustainable habits that support long-term health, from strength training and nutrition to sleep, stress management, hydration, and recovery. Gabby explains why having a meaningful "why" is the foundation of lasting lifestyle change, how to stop chasing perfection, and why focusing on small, consistent improvements often leads to the biggest results.The conversation also explores menopause, body image, and the societal pressures women face as they age. Gabby opens up about learning to stop comparing herself to younger versions of herself, embracing the different strengths that come with every stage of life, and why she believes aging isn't about becoming invisible.Whether you're in your 20s, navigating perimenopause, or looking for sustainable ways to feel your best at any age, this conversation offers an empowering perspective on what it truly means to build a healthy, fulfilling life.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

For many writers, history can be both an inspiration and a source of plot. No one is going to call a fantasy writer out for “making it up”.

Season 7 of “Love Island USA” has limped to a conclusion, and the final was just as underwhelming as the season. Of the final four couples, the longest-standing couple only got together after Casa Amor – and by the time the winner was announced, they had already broken up. With every solid connection from the season booted from the villa, all our final contenders felt either forced, brand-new, or both. Out of this barren season, the only light was the indomitable Amaya Papaya, who found a path to self love and romantic love at the eleventh hour. And hey, we'll always have the friendships.

We live our lives burdened with responsibilities, and expectations of how we should act. Those expectations are placed on us by society, by family, and even by ourselves.

Modern fantasy owes much to J.R.R. Tolkien, including his problematic colonialist views and othering of cultures and races different from his medieval European-inspired setting.
