Save your energy
There’s an energy crisis out there, and it has nothing to do with that feeling of horror we get when we look at our electricity bill. I was appalled – and yet, not entirely surprised – to discover that 55 per cent of young and midlife women experience “frequent constant tiredness”. I’ve definitely been one of them at times, and know all too well how debilitating it can feel and how much it can sap our enjoyment of life. In our feature on page 76, we help you pinpoint some of the conditions that could be causing your fatigue, along with great, science-backed tips on how to bring back your vibrancy.
Speaking of conditions that seem almost endemic among midlife women, do any of these sound familiar? Inability-to-say-no-itis. Doing-everything-for-everyone-osis. No-time-for-myself-opathy.…

Bust a (new) move
If your workouts (and daily movements) feel a little same-same, it might be time to become what British choreographer Wayne McGregor calls a “somatic adventurer” – someone who actively seeks new physical sensations and challenges. In his book We Are Movement (Bloomsbury, $34.99), Wayne argues that habit can quietly shrink our world. Repeating the same motions doesn’t just bore the body, it limits what we believe we’re capable of as well. Novelty is the antidote. That doesn’t have to mean extreme sports (though you could try them). It might be as simple as taking a dance class in an unfamiliar style, learning a new lift at the gym, or moving in ways that feel awkward at first. “We can all become somatic adventurers,” writes Wayne. “It’s liberating and freeing, both…

FULL STRENGTH
With the number of Australian adults on ADHD medication increasing by more than 450 per cent from 2013 to 2023, experts are pointing to greater awareness of the condition rather than overdiagnosis to explain this surge. Now, UK and Dutch researchers have discovered that those who recognise and harness their ADHD-related strengths – which may include hyperfocus on tasks of interest, humour, creativity, spontaneity and intuitiveness – feel healthier and happier. Study participants who were more aware of their strengths and applied them more often in their daily lives reported higher wellbeing and quality of life, as well as fewer symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. The study authors believe their findings could revolutionise the way ADHD is treated.…
Work light
An office with natural light could help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels, according to a new European study. When participants with type 2 diabetes worked in an office with large windows for a week, they spent more time in the normal blood sugar range and their metabolisms burnt more fat than when they worked in an artificially lit office. These findings add to the growing body of evidence that exposure to natural light may support metabolic health by helping regulate our internal body clocks. We’ll take the window seat!
Screen out
By 2035, Australia will have eliminated cervical cancer as a public health problem – defined as fewer than four cases per 100,000 women – if vaccination and screening rates are maintained. Book your cervical…
What’s up with… ear popping
You’ve stowed your carry-on bag and you’re ready to enjoy an in-flight movie when your ears start feeling weird, then go pop! Even when you expect this, it’s uncomfortable and even a little painful. Here’s why it happens and what you can do to ease the discomfort.
It’s all about air pressure
The higher you go, the less dense the air becomes, as gravity pulls air molecules toward earth. “When your plane takes off, the cabin pressure drops, but the air in your middle ear is still at ground-level pressure,” explains allergist and immunologist Dr Kara Wada. (Though the cabin is pressurised, there is still a change.) This imbalance pulls your eardrum outward, causing that clogged sensation, muffled hearing and even some pain.
In response, the eustachian tube (the mucosa-lined…
Top of the morning
We’ve been sold the idea that an ideal morning includes meditation, yoga, journalling, gratitude lists and cold showers – all before 7am. But, for most people, this isn’t only unrealistic, it’s counterproductive, too. When your morning routine becomes a source of pressure, you’re defeating its purpose.
On waking, your brain is in a transitional state – moving from sleep to consciousness, through alpha brainwave activity (associated with calm and creativity) toward beta waves (alertness and action). That delicate shift is more than neurological trivia – it’s also the prime window for setting the emotional tone of your day.
The first few minutes of the day signal safety or threat to the body. Are you in control, or at the mercy of your inbox, your alarm or your own inner critic?…

Strong language
Letting a swear word rip in the middle of your workout could make you stronger, concludes US research. When participants were asked to repeat either a rude or a neutral word during a chair push-up task, those who swore were able to hold their bodyweight for significantly longer. They reported higher levels of distraction, self-confidence and “flow” – a state of deep immersion and focus – during the physical challenge. According to the researchers, these factors lower inhibitions and break down mental barriers that can hold us back from giving our all. So, next time you’re struggling to get that last rep in, let an F-bomb fly – or whisper it so you don’t offend fellow gym-goers!…
Mind power
Keen to keep your brain young? A new US study has found that strength training may outweigh Sudoku. Midlife adults with more muscle and less deep belly fat surrounding their organs (known as visceral fat) had brains that appeared biologically younger on MRI scans. In contrast, those who had more hidden belly fat had older-looking brains. Fat stored just under the skin didn’t have an effect on brain age. The study’s authors say building muscle and trimming visceral fat is a simple action plan to support brain health and potentially lower your dementia risk. Pass that dumbbell!
Break ground
Interval running – alternating sprints with jogging or walking – has been shown to improve heart health, regulate blood sugar and burn fat more effectively than running at a steady pace.…
Desk YOGA
When most of us think of yoga, we picture whole-body moves that challenge your flexibility and strength – and we love that. But your smaller joints and muscles need a little love, too, especially if you work at a desk.
The routine on the right was developed by Jyoti Gautam, a senior yoga teacher at Kamalaya Koh Samui, a holistic wellness spa in Thailand. “The whole concept of yoga is itself therapeutic,” says Jyoti. “The sequence we designed here is for all types of people – those who have any ailments in the body can also use it as a supplemental practice,” along with their regular treatment.
The following moves focus on the eyes, arms, wrists and fingers. “They improve joint flexibility, increase blood circulation, enhance awareness and provide better…
