(BPT) – Since she was 8 years old, Nancy Mize Gonzalez dreamed of becoming a concert pianist. She practiced for hours a day every day, and it paid off. At 16, Gonzalez was accepted into a college music program to pursue her dreams.

“Everything was beautiful, and I was thriving,” said Gonzalez. “But one morning I woke up, and my hands were stiff — fingers aching so much that it hurt to move them. Every single note was excruciating to play.”

At 18, Gonzalez’s world changed as her doctors diagnosed her with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease.

A condition that affects millions

Gonzalez is not alone — as lupus affects millions of people worldwide.

“In lupus, the same immune system that helps us defend ourselves from infections mistakenly thinks that our own body is a harmful invader and attacks,” said Dr. Roberto Caricchio, Myles J. McDonough chair in Rheumatology and chief of the Division of Rheumatology at UMass Chan Medical School. “Because lupus is systemic, it can attack any organ, such as the kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, and skin, as well as blood and joints. No one’s experience is the same.”

Despite its prevalence, many people are unaware of what lupus is or how it impacts people with the condition. That’s why this May, during Lupus Awareness Month, the Lupus Research Alliance, the world’s largest private funder of lupus research, and dedicated members of the worldwide lupus community are celebrating “Hope in Action: The Future of Lupus” — increasing awareness, supporting those living with lupus, and raising funds to fuel research to treat and one day cure this debilitating autoimmune disease.

Research breakthroughs provide hope

For decades, lupus has been one of the most complex autoimmune diseases for researchers to understand and treat, largely because the disease affects each person differently and involves many immune pathways. For 50 years, there were no treatments specifically approved by the FDA for lupus.

However, since 2011, scientific momentum has been building toward today’s research renaissance. Four targeted therapies are now FDA-approved across systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis, and hundreds of clinical trials are currently underway investigating potential new treatments. Researchers are uncovering new insights into how lupus develops, identifying biomarkers for earlier detection, and advancing therapies designed to target the disease more precisely.

One organization that has been at the forefront of lupus research over the past two decades is the Lupus Research Alliance. To drive discovery and development of next-generation lupus diagnostics and curative treatments, the Lupus Research Alliance funds the most innovative research, fosters scientific talent, and drives discovery toward better diagnostics, improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure for lupus.

Since its inception, the Lupus Research Alliance has:

• Awarded more than 675 grants and invested over $284 million in lupus research grants.
• Funded or supported the only four new treatments developed specifically for lupus.
• Established Lupus Therapeutics, the clinical affiliate of the Lupus Research Alliance, which is involved in more than 25% of active lupus clinical trials.
• Launched Lupus Ventures, the world’s only venture capital fund dedicated to lupus, its manifestations, and related autoimmune conditions.

The Lupus Research Alliance’s work and recent progress in lupus treatments have emboldened other organizations and individuals to do their part to raise awareness of the disease and support research. For instance, because of her desire to know more about her condition and to help others, Gonzalez switched careers.

After pursuing her M.D./Ph.D. degrees at Texas A&M College of Medicine, she will soon start a neurosurgery residency in Houston. She is also an executive member of the Lupus Research Alliance Young Leaders Board.

“Back when I was first diagnosed, I asked my doctors, ‘What’s lupus? What does autoimmune mean? Will I get better? What’s the cure?’ I was always met with the same answer: ‘We don’t know. We need more research,'” said Gonzalez. “Eventually, you get tired of hearing that. So, I decided to go back to school, to become a doctor and be able to give other patients the answers I struggled to find.”

Everyone can do their part

While curing lupus may not be a reality yet, there is hope on the horizon.

“This is an unprecedented time in lupus,” said Dr. Caricchio, Vice Chair of the Lupus Clinical Investigators Network (LuCIN), overseen by the Lupus Research Alliance’s clinical affiliate Lupus Therapeutics. “The next step is ensuring that these advances translate into real-world approaches and therapies that improve daily life for people living with lupus — slowing disease progression while minimizing side effects.”

Realizing that future requires collective work — and everyone can play a part. There are several ways to get involved — like donating to fuel new breakthroughs, taking part in research, and taking time to learn about lupus and raising awareness.

“With still only a handful of therapies ever approved for lupus, the next wave of breakthroughs could redefine treatment for millions worldwide — and we’re right at that precipice,” Albert T. Roy, president and CEO of the Lupus Research Alliance, said. “By working together, we have a real opportunity to bring people living with this disease closer to a cure.”

(BPT) – Most pet parents consider their dogs or cats as family and aim to care for their health and wellness just like they would any other family member. However, while nearly 3 in 4 adults take dietary or health supplements to boost their health, only about half of dog owners and one-third of cat owners provide vitamins or supplements to their furry family members.

Gut health is emerging as a major area of focus in the growing pet supplement category, yet a gap remains: while interest in gut health support is higher than ever for humans, fewer than one-third of dog and cat owners give their pets supplements specifically designed to support the gut.

Why gut health matters

Gut health has been making headlines for good reason. The gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms living in the digestive system — plays an important role in many of the body’s key functions, influencing immune response, skin health, mood and nutrient absorption, among other things.

The same is true for pets. When the gut is out of balance, it can show up in a variety of ways, from itching and seasonal allergies to low energy and digestive issues.

Symptoms of gut imbalance

If your four-legged family member isn’t eating well, has changes in stool or bowel habits, or you notice frequent stomach gurgling, it could be a sign their gut needs additional support. Other common symptoms include gas, bloating, diarrhea, scooting and loss of appetite.

Gut disruption can have many causes, including antibiotic use, food transitions, travel, stress and tension, aging or breed-specific sensitivities, and even puppies can benefit from early microbiome support.

Fortunately, many of these digestion challenges can be addressed with the right kind of daily support. By focusing on key ingredients that promote a balanced microbiome, pet owners can help improve digestion and overall well-being. One of the most important steps is understanding the three key components of digestive health: probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics.

The difference between probiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics

You’ve likely heard of probiotics, but supporting digestive health — for both humans and pets — involves three key components:

1. Probiotics are the “good bacteria” that support digestion, aid nutrient absorption and help maintain immune health. When given as a supplement, they help reinforce the population of beneficial bacteria in the gut.

2. Prebiotics act as fuel for the probiotics. These indigestible fibers nourish probiotics and help them grow and thrive.

3. Postbiotics are the beneficial compounds produced when probiotics break down prebiotics. These byproducts — such as short-chain fatty acids, enzymes and vitamins — help support a healthy gut environment and make it more difficult for harmful bacteria to survive.

Together, prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics create a more balanced and resilient gut microbiome.

How to find good gut health supplements

Rather than waiting until a problem arises with your dog or cat’s digestive system, you can be proactive by giving them the daily digestive support they need. Here’s what you should look for in a digestive support supplement:

Proven ingredients: well-researched strains like Bacillus subtilis (a hardy probiotic) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

Balanced formulation: a combination of prebiotics, probiotics and/or postbiotics that work together to support a healthy gut microbiome.

Form your pets will take: soft chews or powders

Third-party tested: quality products with ingredients tested for stability and safety, manufactured in audited facilities.

For example, veterinarian-formulated pet supplement brand NaturVet offers a variety of products for dogs and cats to provide daily gut health support:

• Advanced Probiotics & Enzymes with PB6 Probiotic, a 2025 Product of the Year award winner*, gives your pet the gut support they deserve with a powerful blend of beneficial bacteria designed to promote healthy digestion, boost immunity and help reduce tummy troubles like gas, bloating and diarrhea. With over a billion probiotic CFUs per serving and a blend of prebiotics and enzymes, this food supplement is perfect for pets with sensitive stomachs or with advanced digestive needs. Available in Soft Chews for Dogs, Powder for Dogs and Cats and Scoopable Tiny Bites for Dogs.
• Digestive Enzymes with Pre- and Probiotic support your pet’s digestive health from the inside out with a triple-action formula featuring enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics. Vet-formulated to help break down food, ease tummy troubles and promote nutrient absorption, this daily supplement supports diet changes and helps reduce occasional digestive discomfort. Available in Soft Chews for Dogs, Soft Chews for Cats, Scoopable Tiny Bites for Cats and Powder for Dogs and Cats.

“A proactive approach to digestive health can help your dog or cat thrive,” said Dr. I. Craig Prior, BVSc, CVJ. “Just as many people take a daily supplement for digestive support, your pet can benefit from a proactive approach to gut health. Supporting their microbiome through their daily routine helps with better digestion, immune function and overall vitality.”

Before incorporating a digestion supplement into your pet’s routine, consult your veterinarian to ensure it’s appropriate for their needs.

(BPT) – If you’re looking forward to having an extra day or two off work, why not make the most of it? Even without the opportunity to do a lot of planning ahead of time, you can have a blast by going on an exciting excursion that’s not too far from home.

Here are some tips to help you enjoy a fun road trip during your next long weekend.

Keep it short and sweet

Instead of making your road trip fill your entire weekend, you could consider taking just a day trip or an overnight stay at a location not too far afield, so you’ll also have time to work on your yard or just relax at home for a day or so after your adventure.

A brief but enjoyable change of scenery may be just what you need to put things in perspective – and create fun new memories with your family, friends or that special someone.

Play tourist in your own state

First, identify a couple of attractions you’d like to visit that are within an hour or two (or three!) of your home base.

Try an online search like: “Tourist attractions within two hours of my hometown,” “State or national parks in my state,” and/or “Festivals and events near me during the weekend of …” to find a few options that you’ve never experienced before. You can even narrow your search to suit your specific preferences by adding phrases like “outdoor recreation,” “cultural events” or “food festivals.”

Then do a little research about the hours your chosen attractions or events will be open, any fees you’ll need to cover, plus nearby amenities you can combine with your trip, such as restaurants, recreation areas or scenic spots.

Pro tip: To avoid big crowds or lines, opt for less popular or touristy events and venues, or plan your visit outside peak times.

Be flexible about where to stay

While you may be able to find last-minute openings at convenient hotels or motels by searching your preferred travel sites online, if they’re already fully booked you may need to widen your search to check out vacation rentals like AirBnB, Vrbo or Whimstay – or even camping opportunities in the area, if you enjoy sleeping under the stars. Being willing to travel off the beaten path may also open up more opportunities for places to stay.

Pack wisely

Include a few layers of clothes so you’ll be ready for any kind of weather (no matter what the forecast says), such as extra jackets or rain ponchos, as well as necessary toiletries including sunscreen and bug spray, and of course your favorite road trip playlist!

Make sure to prep plenty of car-friendly snacks and drinks, including reusable water bottles, trail mix, fruit and sandwiches so you don’t have to spend too much money en route – or time searching for restaurants while you’re on the road. A small portable cooler can help you keep drinks and food items cold during your journey.

Make sure your car is up to the trip

If you haven’t had any car maintenance done recently, be sure to check that your tires, brakes, oil and battery are all in good shape before you head out. Also ensuring that your trunk is packed with safety items like jumper cables, a jack and spare tire, plus a first aid kit, will go a long way toward having peace of mind on the road, even if nothing goes wrong. Keeping your phone charged and having a current membership to a roadside assistance service are also good safety measures.

Wherever you’re headed during your long weekend, remember to relax, have fun and take lots of pictures! Your next great vacation could be right around the corner.

(BPT) – Wireless chargers are built by many brands for a wide array of small mobile electronics, so how do you know which ones work the fastest and help devices stay charged longest?

The best way to charge your cell phone, wireless headphones or smart watch depends on something you’ve probably never heard of: the Qi standard (pronounced “chee”), which was first released in 2010 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), a standards development organization that works with the world’s top tech companies to set the world’s leading standard for ensuring that wireless charging of small mobile electronics works smoothly and efficiently — no matter what brand’s products you’re using — and provide protocols that enhance wireless charging safety.

Since 2023, devices created in accordance with the newer version of the standard, Qi2, have offered wireless charging that’s faster and more energy efficient, providing optimal charging performance. Over 100 of the biggest names in technology worked together to create the Qi2 global standard in wireless charging. In 2025, technological advancements enabled an even faster-charging version of the Qi2 standard: Qi version 2.2.1 (also called Qi2 25W), which raises the power delivery from 15 to 25 watts.

“Our goal is constant improvement,” said Paul Struhsaker, executive director of WPC. “When we launched Qi2, besides the immediate boost in charging speed and energy efficiency, one of its benefits was serving as a steppingstone for even faster, more efficient wireless charging in the future. This is demonstrated by Qi2 25W’s remarkably fast, efficient wireless charging.”

In addition to the Apple iPhone, major Android smartphones have now joined the Qi2 ecosystem, making the list of Qi2 Certified devices even longer. There are now nearly 2 billion Qi and Qi2 devices in use by consumers across the world.

Here’s why the charger you use matters, and how to ensure you’re getting the best product to keep your essential devices up and running all day.

Why wireless charging?

Tired of looking for cables, fumbling to plug in devices in the dark or small spaces — or even wearing out the port in your gadgets with the constant plugging in?

Wireless charging with devices built to the Qi2 standard provide one clean charging setup with minimal cords, less fuss and minimal mess. That means you can even charge your compatible phone(s), smartwatch and earbuds all at the same time, without worrying about tangled cables.

Wireless chargers come in a variety of designs to meet user needs whether for home, office, car or traveling. Regardless of the design, all Qi2 chargers employ a magnetic attachment between your Qi2-enabled phone and charger that ensures a perfect alignment for optimal energy efficiency every time. Simply drop your phone on the charger and you’ll feel the click as the devices lock together.

The need for speed

Faster wireless charging was the number one consumer-requested feature to improve wireless charging satisfaction, according to WPC market research. Qi2 took a big step in addressing this demand for faster charging when it first launched with 15 watts of charging power in 2023.

The result? Some Qi2 Certified devices charge phones as fast as from 0% to 50% power in about 30 minutes.

“Qi2 25W is the first standard to enable truly high-speed wireless charging,” added Fady Mishriki, chair of the WPC Board of Directors. “Consumers will be delighted when they experience Qi2 25W, as it delivers nearly 70% more power than the original Qi2.”

How to keep your phone from dying

One of the worst things about using small devices is when they conk out right when you need them, sending you scrambling for a charger.

Qi2 chargers use a magnetic attachment that creates perfect alignment between your phone and the charger, enabling faster, more efficient charging. The satisfying magnetic snap lets you know when devices are perfectly aligned and charging, so you can just pop your device on the charger and go, without worrying about whether your device found the charging “sweet spot” or not. You can trust they’ll be charging and will stay charged longer.

Rather than waiting until your phone is nearly dying to charge up, try to keep the charge between 20%-80% for maximum efficiency and optimal battery health. You can use strategies like reducing screen brightness, turning off push notifications you don’t need and disabling background app refresh to keep your phone going even longer.

It’s also recommended to keep devices away from heat, which can be damaging to batteries (whether the heat is external or internal). Chargers built to the Qi2 standard offer advanced thermal management that prevents overheating and helps protect batteries from degradation.

How to be sure it’s a Qi2 Certified wireless charger

Qi2 Certified chargers are designed for interoperability — ensuring any Qi2 Certified device works smoothly with other Qi2 devices regardless of brand — plus energy efficiency. Furthermore, chargers certified to the Qi2 standard include important safety features such as thermal management to keep chargers from overheating and foreign object detection. Non-certified chargers may not include these features which safeguard user safety as well as the health of your charging devices.

To ensure you’re getting a Qi Certified charger before you buy, examine the box and/or the charger to look for the Qi or Qi2 logo. Buying online? Check the product’s wireless specifications for Qi certification first. If in doubt or you can’t find the logo, check the Wireless Power Consortium website where they maintain a database of all Qi Certified devices.

Beware of chargers that use claims like “Qi compliant” or “works with Qi.” These terms are used by brands that are not certified and hope you won’t notice the difference. Virtually all major wireless charger brands produce Qi2 Certified wireless chargers, including Belkin, Anker and Baseus, to name just a few. Qi Certified cell phones include iPhone, Samsung and Google Pixel.

If you haven’t tried Qi2, you haven’t really tried wireless charging. Learn more about the Qi2 standard at ChargeWithQi.com.

Whether you’re hosting a casual cookout or planning a full backyard gathering, growing your own ingredients is one of the simplest ways to upgrade flavor, save money and make your barbecue menu more memorable.

What is a barbecue garden?

A barbecue garden is a purposeful way of planting — focused on ingredients that work well for grilling, fresh sides and summer recipes. Instead of choosing plants at random, you’re building your garden around how you plan to cook and entertain.

Common barbecue garden crops include:

• Tomatoes
• Jalapeños and bell peppers
• Summer squash and zucchini
• Green beans
• Herbs like basil, parsley and cilantro
• Melons like watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew

Why should you grow your own produce for a barbecue?

Growing your own produce gives you access to peak-ripe ingredients that are more flavorful than store-bought options. It also allows you to harvest exactly what you need, when you need it.

Additional benefits include:

• Better flavor: Vine-ripened tomatoes and freshly picked herbs taste noticeably richer
• Cost savings: A single seed packet can yield dozens of servings — for example, one packet of jalapeño or bean plants can produce the equivalent of hundreds of dollars’ worth of fresh produce over a full growing season
• Convenience: Skip last-minute grocery runs before hosting
• Customization: Grow ingredients tailored to your favorite recipes
