Headaches can seem like common nuisances that randomly come up when you’re stressed or feeling a little under the weather. However, they can also be a symptom of other life changes, especially for women. Boys and girls have about the same amount of headaches, but after age 9, that changes. Women experience serious headaches much more often than men – especially at times when the body’s hormone balance is shifting. Headaches can also be triggered by lifestyle changes, such as the foods we eat, caffeine or alcohol, but they are more likely to occur when hormones are also shifting.

Find out more about which times of life women experience the most headaches, what they can signal and ways to get ahead of them.

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness.

And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces.
