Life hasn’t slowed down one bit for Jordan Chiles. Since winning gold in Paris last summer, the 24-year-old gymnast has gone from rising star to household name.
The World Champion gymnast continues to make headlines on and off the mat. Whether starring on the cover of the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, winning her third individual NCAA title, or promoting her book “I’m That Girl: Living the Power of My Dreams,” Chiles hit the ground running in 2025 and hasn’t looked back.
When I sat down with Jordan earlier this month, she had just spent the night at the Gold House Gala, where she presented the A1 Honor to two-time Olympic teammate and close friend Sunisa ‘Suni’ Lee.
The next day, Chiles would be announced as one of the first gymnasts to land a cover in the famed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Just weeks prior, Jordan collected an NCAA title on uneven bars and led the UCLA Bruins women’s gymnastics team to its best finish since 2018.
“I feel like I’ve been in the air more than I have on the ground,” she jokes, smiling. The period since the Paris Olympics has been a “whirlwind." Despite the frenzy, Chiles remains grounded with gratitude for her new ventures.
“It’s just been a remarkable feeling,” she reflects. “It’s been an outstanding feeling to have so many different opportunities.” This May, she adds another to her list.
Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles practices yoga in partnership with CorePower Yoga for Mental Health … More Awareness Month, promoting mindfulness, strength, and self-care.
The Olympic Champion was eager to discuss a new and impactful role as Mental Health Ambassador with CorePower Yoga, the largest yoga studio brand in the United States.
The leading brand is spotlighting Mental Health Awareness month with a plethora of community classes, wellness partner perks, and a 31-day mindfulness journey, all highlighted on its Mental Health Hub.
For much of Jordan’s storied gymnastics career, mental health discussions were stunted and discouraged. “Mental health wasn’t a topic when I was younger,” she shares. Instead, the sport’s culture fostered silence.
This environment led to Jordan hitting her mental “breaking point” in 2018. “Maybe my sport doesn’t want me,” she remembers thinking. “Maybe I’m not talented enough."
She credits her transfer to Simone Biles’ gym in 2019 as the beginning of her newfound mental health journey. Jordan says that Biles consistently encouraged her to push through her doubts. “It’s your journey. It’s your dream. You’re very talented. You’re very gifted," Biles often said. “So either you can throw it away or you can keep pushing.”
Less than two years from the date of her gym transfer, Jordan Chiles roared to life on the mats, clinching a spot on the Tokyo Olympic team after years spent as an underdog. Behind affirmations and hours of “mental work” with her sports psychologist, Chiles achieved her Olympic dream.

With “Live Your Power” at the heart of CorePower’s campaign during Mental Health Awareness Month (May), Chiles immediately resonated with the message behind the company’s efforts.
The campaign encourages people to own their personal growth and reclaim space for themselves, on and off the mat. It’s not just about movement, but about being intentional with how you move through life. For Chiles, that message hit home.
CorePower’s mantra is much like her trademark slogan (and now book title) “I’m That Girl." “They’re the exact same – they’re affirmations,” she tells me. Together, the statements are about ‘discovering your power.’
“It’s OK to fix your crown here and there. It’s OK to go back and replenish yourself. It’s OK to take care of yourself," she shares, her passion growing with every word. With this partnership, Chiles hopes to show athletes how to “protect [their] peace.”
“My superpower is being able to show the younger generation that my life cannot be perfect, but I’m gonna make it perfect, and I’m gonna show you it’s okay to go through those ups and downs," she says.
“I want to show people—especially other athletes—that slowing down and tuning into yourself is powerful. If your mind isn’t right, your body won’t be either.”

Chiles credits her mental health work with helping her achieve career goals despite countless obstacles. In 2023, Chiles lost both her aunt and grandfather. Months later, she incurred an LCL injury.
Making a second consecutive Olympic team is hard enough – now she had to balance elite training with emotional and physical pain. It would have been easy, and justified, to throw in the towel. But Jordan’s “mental capacity” prevailed.
"I knew that…at those low moments, they would only make me stronger," she said. In Paris, she helped Team USA to team gold and achieved personal redemption with faultless performances in the qualification round.
Despite earning her gold medal moment, Chiles soon made headlines for her involvement in a bronze medal mishap. In unprecedented events, Chiles became embroiled in a contentious legal battle for her previously awarded Olympic bronze medal. While the battle is ongoing, Chiles says the experience was “traumatic.”
As media coverage intensified, online outrage grew. While negativity and hatred flooded her social media feeds, Chiles returned to UCLA for her junior season. Instead of bursting with excitement, she was terrified.
“I was actually scared to step out onto a competition floor,” she says, sharing that this is her first time discussing it. “I didn’t know what was going to happen. I didn’t know what people were going to think about me. I didn’t know how many negative people were going to be in the audience looking at me.”
However, like her prior bouts of adversity, Chiles pushed through the insecurities. About a month into the season, Chiles felt the love for her sport return while competing in front of a raucous yet supportive Westwood crowd.
“I really just wanted to turn things around for myself,” she said, reflecting on her season. With the authentic, charismatic Jordan on display, Chiles channeled her energy into near-perfect gymnastics, leading the Bruins to a historic postseason run.

For Jordan Chiles, bringing mental and physical strength together has long been the key to repeated success. Now, with CorePower, she hopes to help others do the same.
As her career evolves, Chiles embraces every role with unapologetic strength and clarity. Her journey hasn’t been linear, and that’s precisely the point.
With CorePower Yoga, she’s helping rewrite the narrative surrounding mental wellness in sports — one poignant affirmation at a time. “You don’t have to have it all figured out,” she says. “You just have to show up for yourself.”
For Olympic and World Champion Jordan Chiles, the real gold doesn’t come from the medals — it comes from living her power and helping others find theirs, too.

Newswise — A new study links sleep irregularity with early precursors of heart disease in young adults with chronic anxiety. The study findings are published in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. The study has been chosen as an APSselect for May.
 
The study results suggest that focusing on getting regular sleep—about the same amount each night—may help people with anxiety reduce their risk of developing heart disease later in life, according to researchers.
 
It is estimated that about 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. suffer from anxiety, with anxiety disorders being especially common in women and younger adults. Many people with anxiety report difficulty falling or staying asleep. Previous research has linked poor sleep patterns with a higher risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.
 
To understand the possible role of sleep as a common denominator between anxiety and heart disease, the researchers assessed sleep patterns and markers of cardiovascular health in 28 young adults with chronic anxiety.
 
For seven consecutive days, participants kept a sleep diary and wore an accelerometer that tracked when they were asleep, at rest or physically active. At the end of the week, researchers assessed various markers of cardiovascular health, including blood pressure control, blood vessel functioning and oxidative stress.   
 
The results showed that people with irregular sleep patterns were more likely to have poor blood pressure control, worse blood vessel functioning and higher oxidative stress—all considered to be precursors of cardiovascular disease—compared to those with more regular sleep. Irregular sleep patterns can include night-to-night variation in the total amount of sleep as well as variation in the proportion of time spent sleeping out of the total time spent in bed, known as sleep efficiency.
 
“These results suggest that sleep irregularity in individuals with chronic anxiety may play a critical role in the development of cardiovascular disease in this population,” the authors wrote.
 
The researchers found no correlation between cardiovascular health markers and sleep quality, which includes overall sleep efficiency and the total amount of sleep. This suggests that the amount of variability night to night matters more than the overall amount of sleep. 
 
There were also no differences observed in sleep variables or heart disease precursors based on the severity of anxiety, time since anxiety onset, amount of daytime physical activity or the use of birth control methods. Most study participants were women and had experienced moderate to severe anxiety for over a decade, on average.
 
Researchers cautioned that the study design did not allow them to determine cause and effect. Sleep irregularity could result from anxiety, or it may act as a heart disease risk factor independent of chronic anxiety. In either case, taking steps to support regular sleep can be an important way to improve health and well-being.

If you’re looking for a Garmin watch at a great price, the recent drops of the Forerunner 570 and 970 is excellent news—not because you should pick up those models (they’re fine, I guess) but because the older generations of Forerunner, which remain excellent watches, are now going for ludicrously low prices.
The previous models, the 265 and 965, are great, but you can go back one more generation to the 255 and 955—released in 2022—and save hundreds of dollars without sacrificing any major functionality. I truly can’t think of any fitness watch that is a better deal right now, given the prices we’re seeing on these two: currently $247 for the Forerunner 255, and $373 for the Forerunner 955, which is the upgraded version with maps and a few extra training features.
Why am I recommending three-year-old watches? I’ll get into the specs below, but the important context here is that Garmin’s Forerunners have serious longevity. Running app Strava releases year-end trend reports that consistently show older Forerunners among the nation’s and the world’s most popular running watches. The most recent report, for example, had the Garmin Forerunner 245 in third place, after the Apple Watch and Apple Watch SE. That’s a five-year-old watch. Not long ago, the Forerunner 235, then an eight-year-old watch, was the most popular worldwide. These things last!
The numbered models can get confusing, but I promise you’ll be able to follow along. All the watches that start with a 9 are the top-of-the-line Forerunners (the 955 was replaced by the 965 and most recently the 970) and most of those came with a little sibling that starts with a 2 (respectively: the 255, 265, and in a break from tradition, 570).
The 9xx series have onboard maps that let you see exactly where you are and where you’re going. The 2xx watches have breadcrumb navigation that shows you the general shape of the route you’ve already taken. If you need a map on your wrist, you probably want to go for a 9xx.
I wrote about the newest models here, so you can see what the 970 has over the 965 (and what the 570 has over the 265). The big feature is that the 570 and 970 support voice calling and voice texts, and the 970 has a built-in LED flashlight. If those features aren’t must-haves for you, take a look at the next generation back.
The 265 and 965 are excellent watches with important functionality, like dual-band GPS. you can read my review of the 265 here:, and note that the 265 is my own personal running watch, the one that I bought with my own money because I love it. The 265 has a ton of great features for runners. Some are concrete and functional: physical buttons, lots of options for data screens, and a dual-band GPS for extra location accuracy. Others are more software-y but still arguably useful: training status, daily suggested workouts. The battery also lasts between one and two weeks, depending on how many workouts you do. 
The 965 has all that, plus onboard maps, so you can see where you are relative to roads, bodies of water, and so on. It’s also got a few extra training statistics, like an endurance score and a heat acclimation score.
The 255 and 955 have all of these same features. The only features that are meaningfully different between the x55 and x65 series are:
The 255/955 have the older, always-on MIP screen, while the 265 has a smartphone-style AMOLED screen. I have more here on the difference between those screen types.
The 255/955 don’t have touchscreens. You’ll use the UP and DOWN buttons on the left side to scroll through options. 
The 255 can’t store music, unless you buy the 255 Music version. The 955 has music storage built in, just like the 265 and 965 do.
The 255 doesn’t have Training Readiness, but it does have Training Status. (Personally, I never use Training Readiness, so this isn’t much of a loss. You can always look at your HRV trend, which the watch also reports, if you want a sense of how recovered you are each morning.) The 955, 265, and 965 all have Training Readiness.
For the detailed list of every minor feature that’s different between the two, you can check out this comparison page on Garmin’s site. 
There is only one Forerunner 955, but there are four versions of the 255, and two versions of the 265.
The regular Forerunner 255 is the larger size (45.6 mm) and does not have music storage. 
The Forerunner 255S is the smaller size (41 mm) and also does not have music storage.
The Forerunner 255 Music is the larger size (45.6 mm) and does have music storage, so you can play tunes from the watch while leaving your phone at home.
The Forerunner 255S Music is the smaller size (41 mm) with music storage.  
Personally, I always have my phone with me when I run, so I’ve never found the standalone music feature very helpful. If you think you might use it, though, it’s normally a $50 upgrade, but currently only a $20 upgrade on the larger size of the watch.
To help you decide, the photo above shows the difference in screens between the AMOLED 265S (left) and MIP 255 (right). It also shows the size difference between the smaller and larger models; the 265S on the left is 41.7 mm, very close to the 255S at 41 mm.
The 255 is only one year older than the 265. They were released in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Before that, Forerunner releases tended to be three to four years apart. The quick turnaround between the 255 and 265 makes sense when you realize they’re basically the same watch with a different display.
So I wouldn’t expect a 255 to feel outdated anytime soon. The main question you need to ask yourself is: How do I feel about a MIP screen? I’ve written more about the difference between MIP and AMOLED here. MIP screens don’t light up, although they have a backlight that can come on automatically when you raise your wrist. At rest, they are “always on,” in the sense that they’re always displaying something, so you’ll never look down at a blank screen. They’re also brightly reflective in sunlight. 
AMOLED screens are more like a smartphone screen, with glowing pixels, and watches typically turn off the display when you’re not using it to save energy. (You can enable an always-on setting, but it eats battery.) That said, the overall battery life on both watches is similar on default settings—14 days not counting activities for the 255, and 13 days for the 265. 
Some people prefer the MIP screens, and if that includes you, this is a no-brainer: snag the 255 or 955. You can even get a refurbished version for $179.99, which makes this one of the cheapest Garmin watches in any line. 
Prices on Forerunners have been fluctuating lately, so I’m hesitant to give any dollar-for-dollar comparisons, but here’s what I’m seeing at the moment I write this. Officially, Garmin is selling the 255 and 265 for the same price, $349.99. The 955 and 965 are going for the same price, $499.99. At those prices, you might as well get the -65 version of whichever watch you prefer.
But over on Amazon, I’m seeing prices as low as $247 for the 255 and $373 for the 955. That means a 255 is the same price as the anemic Forerunner 165 (it’s OK as a budget watch, but it’s missing a lot of features that the 255/265 have) and the 955 is the same price as a 265! Check prices to see if these deals are still live by the time you read this, and ultimately decide based on features.

All Articles Healthcare Insurers Costs, tariffs create challenges for patients, providers
SmartBrief readers last month focused on stories about the potential for rising expenses, supply shortages and limited access to care.
4 min read

SmartBrief readers in April turned their attention to stories on how US government-imposed tariffs could affect health care organizations and communities at home in the coming years, potentially leading to rising costs and compromising access to care. Readers also were interested in stories about Americans’ continuing struggles to afford that care at a personal level.
What happened: An analysis from the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy looked at how a 25% tariff on Canadian-manufactured pharmaceuticals could raise US drug costs by as much as $750 million and place serious strain on supply chains. About 400 medications are imported to the US from Canada, and it is the only available source for nearly 30 of them. 
Tariffs ultimately could make it harder for American patients to access medications they need, experts said. Researcher Mina Tadrous of the University of Toronto said the tariffs could affect a variety of important drugs, from antibiotics to mental health therapies. “Our work highlights that perhaps the US should consider removing medications from its list of imports, in line with previous tariffs, to avoid disruptions to supply chains and potential shortages that may affect US patients,” Tadrous said.
President Donald Trump said tariffs on imported medications likely would start at about 25% and could go even higher. Trump has stated that the tariffs are intended to drive drugmakers to move more of their operations to the US. 
What’s next: There have been reports this month about some independent pharmacies stockpiling commonly dispensed drugs in an attempt to weather possible tariff-influenced cost fluctuations. If reimbursements don’t rise to counteract higher prices, some independent pharmacy owners may find the financial losses too serious to overcome. 
Trump recently signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to redouble efforts to significantly reduce prescription drug prices by linking them to prices paid by other developed nations. A Harvard Business Review report offers big-picture information on the effects of tariffs on the nation’s prescription drug market.
What happened: April reports suggested that high tariffs on Chinese goods, including medical supplies, could further unsettle American hospitals’ financial footing. Climbing patient costs, staff cuts, service disruptions and potential shortages would likely be among the consequences, and hospitals serving Medicare and Medicaid populations could be the most deeply affected. Some facilities were reviewing their existing supply contracts, performing cost surge modeling and inventory audits, and looking for alternative sources in an effort to mitigate any fallout.
What’s next: Hospitals started to feel ripple effects from medical supply tariffs earlier this month. No widespread shortages were reported at the time, but some hospitals were considering spending freezes and other actions. Service disruptions reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic could resurface, some experts suggested.
What happened: West Health/Gallup research showed that 91 million Americans – about 35% of the population – would not be able to afford quality health care if they needed it now. Rates are even higher among Hispanic and Black Americans, and health care access has declined significantly among lower-income residents, researchers found. About 11% of Americans overall are described as “cost desperate,” or entirely unable to afford prescriptions or health services.
What’s next: “The rising trajectory in the inability to pay for health care is a disturbing trend that is likely to continue and even accelerate,” said Tim Lash of the West Health Policy Center. “Policy action at both the state and federal level is urgently needed, or even more Americans will have to go without treatment or be forced to make painful tradeoffs between paying for medical care or paying for other necessities.” 
A recent proposal to cut Affordable Care Act subsidies could result in several million Americans being dropped from their health insurance, making care affordability an even more pressing issue.

Speaking on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali (currently with Kolkata Knight Riders) shared his thoughts on Rohit’s career. Moeen praised Rohit’s raw talent and effortless batting style but he also pointed out a key difference between him and Virat Kohli: fitness.
“Rohit was a more natural player… Like a proper gift given to him. There was a period of time where he was probably the most talented player in the world, naturally,” Moeen said.
“Like probably didn’t do the work in terms of fitness and stuff as Virat but still as effective. Would probably hit the ball further,” he added.

Rohit’s Test career had its ups and downs. He has had inconsistent overseas tours. He hit 12 centuries and played several match-winning innings as an opener.
His transformation from a middle-order batter to a top-order opener came under the guidance of then-coach Ravi Shastri. Shastri – in a conversation on the ICC Review – said that Rohit often got “bored” batting in the middle order.

The move to promote him as an opener was based on his success in white-ball cricket.
“Batting at four, five, this guy used to get bored… Test cricket might be a honeymoon for him if he starts embracing it,” Shastri said.

Rohit Sharma’s Test journey was a mix of good and missed opportunities. Moeen’s comments have added to the ongoing debate about how much further Rohit could have gone if fitness had been a priority earlier in his career.

Commentary: New tax on health insurance would threaten South Dakota’s world-class health care  Rapid City Journal

Published 1:00 am Monday, May 19, 2025
by McKay Creek Assisted Living
As the days grow longer, temperatures rise, and trees begin to bloom, it’s clear that summer is just around the corner. And for older adults, summer is an ideal time to embrace outdoor physical activity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that older adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week. This includes a combination of cardiovascular activity, strength training, and balance work. While this number may seem daunting at first, it’s important to remember that it breaks down to just 30 minutes a day, five days a week—a realistic and achievable goal. Staying active not only improves physical health but also supports mental well-being, reduces the risk of chronic conditions, and enhances overall quality of life.
With warmer temperatures and longer days ahead, here are four outdoor activities for older adults to stay active and enjoy the benefits of physical activity:
Walking is one of the most accessible and low-impact forms of exercise available. It’s a great way to improve overall health without putting undue stress on joints. Regular walking has been shown to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, enhance balance, and even support bone health. Additionally, it’s one of the best ways to improve sleep quality and strengthen the immune system.
The emotional benefits of walking are also significant. As explained by the National Institutes of Health, walking can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost psychological well-being by triggering the release of endorphins—the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. Whether walking in a local park, along neighborhood streets, or with a friend or pet, the mental and emotional rewards of walking are undeniable.
Some ideas for making walking more enjoyable include joining a walking group, exploring nearby shops, or simply strolling through your favorite neighborhood. Spending time outside in nature also provides the added benefit of sunshine, which is a natural source of vitamin D, an essential nutrient for bone health and overall well-being.
Pickleball, a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has rapidly gained popularity in recent years—especially among older adults. The game is played on a smaller court with lightweight paddles and a perforated plastic ball. Its simplicity and lower-impact nature make it an excellent option for older adults who may not have the agility or stamina for a full tennis match but still want to stay active and engage in friendly competition.
The rules of pickleball are easy to learn, and the game can be modified to suit players of all skill levels. The sport’s popularity among older adults is due in part to its accessibility, its focus on strategy and technique over speed and power, and its social aspects. It’s a great way to meet new friends, stay active, and enjoy a little friendly competition.
For older adults who may not have the mobility or flexibility for fast-paced sports like pickleball, tai chi is an excellent alternative. Often described as “meditation in motion,” tai chi involves slow, controlled movements that focus on balance, flexibility, and mindfulness. It’s a gentle form of exercise that can be practiced outdoors, offering both physical and mental benefits.
According to Harvard Medical School, tai chi movements are typically circular and fluid, with an emphasis on relaxation rather than tension. The practice helps improve flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination, making it particularly beneficial for older adults looking to maintain mobility and prevent falls. Tai chi can be adapted to meet individual fitness levels, making it suitable for everyone from highly active seniors to those recovering from illness or surgery.
Beyond the physical benefits, tai chi also offers mental health advantages. The focus on breathing, relaxation, and mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, promote calm, and improve mood. As a low-impact exercise, tai chi is easy on the joints and can be done in small spaces, making it an ideal option for people of all abilities.
Gardening may not seem like a traditional form of exercise, but it can be surprisingly effective in improving physical health. Gardening tasks such as digging, raking, weeding, and carrying tools involve both upper and lower body movements. These activities can increase heart rate and work muscles, providing moderate physical activity.
According to the AARP, activities like digging, raking, or even pulling hoses qualify as moderate-intensity exercises that engage multiple muscle groups. Gardening also helps improve flexibility, strength, and endurance. In addition to the physical benefits, gardening offers a unique mental health boost. Tending to a garden can be incredibly therapeutic, providing a sense of accomplishment and promoting relaxation. The time spent outdoors in nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.
At McKay Creek Assisted Living, we are committed to promoting the health and well-being of our residents through a year-round fitness program.
