What’s Happening in the World of Wellness
In today's wellness news: women feel more pain, the reason men love themselves more, and there's an app for that.

- Breaking painful news: do women feel more pain than men? If you're a man, and have a girlfriend or a wife, of course they do!
- Men who are packed full of a steroid called cortisol are more likely to be narcissistic. Yes, it's true, men, they have may discovered a reason why you love yourself. Narcissism is a trait that gets some bad press because of characteristics such as grandiosity and inflated sense of self-importance, but it does have a couple of positive traits like an abundance of self–esteem and a positive sense of self. The report goes on to say the physical downside of too much stress hormone is a cardiac risk, involving increased stress and high blood pressure.
- Are you interested in losing weight and becoming healthier? There's an app for that, but beware. Exercise physiologist Carol Torgan of the American College of Sports Medicine says people are making apps and they might not be certified or have any knowledge of what they're doing. We're not a one –size-fits-all world and that can be a problem. She suggests that you have fun and use them to stay motivated, but be careful or you could wind up getting hurt.
If you want to lose weight, get healthier and have less stress in your life, I can help.
