Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3r5@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

I'm working on an article for Bustle called "How Quarantine Led
To Glacial Relationships."

If your relationship slowed way down due to quarantine, please
share your story and I'll quote you! (Just your first name/age.)

COVID has caused many relationships to move at a "glacial" pace
due to quarantining away from each other, not being able to go
out, travel, move in together, etc.

If this has happened to you, please see my questions below.

1. How was your relationships going before quarantine? What
kinds of goals or plans did you have in store for 2020 as a
couple?

2. In what way has quarantine slowed down your relationship, or
impacted those plans? (i.e., were you forced to quarantine
apart?)

3. Do you think your relationship will pick right back up where
it left off after quarantine? What are your post-quarantine
goals?

Thanks!

6) Summary: DOCTORS, NEUROLOGISTS, SCIENTISTS: Is PEMF therapy legit?

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3rw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 11:00 AM EST - 5 August

Query:

PEMF, or Pulsed Electromagnetic Field, therapies are quickly
gaining popularity. Some research suggests that they can help
people relax or sleep better. Is there real science here or is
this woo?

I prefer to discuss this with academics at research institutions
because of the emphasis. I would also be interested in hearing
from a layperson who has used PEMF therapy about their
experience or someone who uses or recommends this kind of
therapy to their patients/clients.

Here are my Qs: 1. What is PEMF, in practical terms? 2. What
does it do to the body and brain? 3. What are the potential
benefits? 4. Are there side effects? 5. Who might you recommend
this kind of therapy to? 6. Who might need to avoid PEMF? 7.
Anything else?

Please reply directly to this post. Please do not add me to your
mailing list without prior permission. Thank you!

Requirements:

Doctors Neurologists Scientists familiar with PEMF
Academically-affiliated researchers Laypeople who have undergone
PEMF Medical or psychological proponents of PEMF

7) Summary: Relationship therapists for "how quarantine has slowed down relationships."

Name: Carolyn Steber Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3t3@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 4 August

Query:

I'm working on an article for Bustle called "How Quarantine Led
To Glacial Relationships."

Unlike turbo relationships -- which move fast as a result of
quarantining together -- COVID has resulted in many "glacial
relationships." These move slowly because couples can't see each
other as often, if at all.

As a result, the relationship may feel delayed, they might put
off moving in together, etc. If you are a relationship
therapist, please see my Qs below.

1. In what ways has quarantine slowed down, or put a pause, on
many relationships? And what might the impact be of having to
delay plans, or slow things down? (Can it be concerning for
couples?)

2. What are some ways for couples to stay connected and keep
their relationships moving forward, even if their relationship
has turned "glacial" as a result of quarantine?

Thanks!

Name: Tracey Duncan Bustle

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b3t8@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 5 August

Query:

According to social media, it's #hotgirlsummer redux. I love
working out outside, but sometimes I'm not sure how healthy it
is. I live in Louisiana, and it's often over 80 degrees by the
time I finish my run at 6:30am. Is it healthy to work out in the
heat? I would like to talk to traditional medical doctors about
what they think.

Here are my questions: 1. Generally, is it okay to work out in
the heat? 2. Is there a temperature threshold, ie, once it hits
a certain temp, is it no longer safe? 3. Are some kinds of
activities better or safer to do in the heat than others? 4. If
it's not okay to work out in the heat, what do you recommend as
an alternative? 5. How should folx replenish after working out
in the heat? 6. What are the risks? Dehydration? Heat stroke?
How likely are these for otherwise healthy people? 7. Are there
benefits to working out in the heat? 8. What else should people
know?

Requirements:

Medical doctor, academic affiliation preferred Sports medicine
