It starts with that unmistakable, localized throb—a tiny, rhythmic pulse under the skin of your lip that signals impending social doom. You know the feeling. It’s that “oh no, not now” moment.

There is a specific kind of dread that only a cold sore sufferer understands. It usually starts on a Tuesday morning, right before a big presentation or a long-awaited first date.

The wellness industry is a $7 trillion behemoth, yet we are sicker, more tired, and more anxious than ever before. It’s a paradox that keeps me up at night.
