| |  | | Suzanne Somers is an actress, author, businesswoman, and, notably, a spokesperson for the beloved Thighmaster. We scored the opportunity to ask Suzanne questions about her personal and professional wellness journey over the years. | | *This interview has been edited for length and clarity. | | Q: | What's your biggest takeaway from writing "Breakthrough: Eight Steps to Wellness"? | | | A: You will be amazed at the progressive means to balance your body's hormonal and nutrient levels. | | Q: | You've been outspoken about refusing chemotherapy at the time of your cancer diagnosis. Do you mind sharing what led you to this decision? | | | A: In those early days, the success rate with chemo had hardly changed in decades. It's quite different today. There are targeted technologies. | | Q: | Do you have a self-care routine? What does it look like? | | | A: I eat as though my life depends on it. I grow a lot of our food at our home in Palm Springs. It's beautiful to harvest a perfectly ripe fruit or vegetable and devour it immediately. | | Q: | What's your secret to staying so fit and aging so gracefully? | | | A: My mind believes everything I tell it, so every morning upon awakening, I say, "I am healthy and happy. I'm in love with my husband. I love my family. I love my work. I am grateful." | | Q: | Do you still use the Thighmaster? | | | A: I still do 50 reps 3 times a day with my Thighmaster and Buttmaster. | | Scroll down to the end of this email to rate this interview! | | | | | | |
| | | | Editor faves with health perks | | | | | | |  | | Yuka App | | Yuka is a mobile app that scans health, food, and beauty products and checks how safe they are to use on a scale of "bad" to "excellent." You'll usually get instant results and detailed descriptions about a product's ingredients, complete with lists of studies and citations behind their claims so you don't have to go fact-checking elsewhere. | | This app revolutionized the way I use and shop for products. When I wrote about it for the first time back in April, so many of you emailed us to say you use it and love it, too. If you haven't tried Yuka yet, go check it out! | | | Every product we recommend has gone through Healthline's vetting process.

| |  | | | Let's decode what different product labels really mean | Items are covered in all sorts of labels nowadays. Whereas eggs can be free-range, cage-free, or pasture-raised, skin care products are often nontoxic, organic, or natural. What on earth do these things mean? Are they a mishmash of nonsense to seem greener or more health-focused, or do they truly represent the ethics and values of the brand or product at hand?
"To use some labels, like organic or non-GMO, products have specific guidelines and standards they need to comply with. Other labels, like natural or nontoxic, are more arbitrary and don't really tell you much," explains Healthline's resident registered dietitian Lisa Valente, MS. "Sometimes, these labels may help guide you, but other times they can add to confusion."
Let's remove that guesswork and decode what a handful of food and health labels really mean, with Valente's help: Read more about product labels: | | | | | | |
