Stuttering is a speech disorder involving disruptions in a person's speech. Stuttering involves repetitions or prolongations of sounds and syllables or hesitations or blocks in making voiced sounds. As a nonprofit that supports people who stutter of all ages, we know that stuttering can be about more than speech and affect more aspects of everyday life than can be seen by someone outside the stuttering community.

Hydration multipliers are everywhere. Should you use them in a heat wave?
Staying hydrated is crucial to feeling your best, especially as temperatures across the globe soar. Some may turn to powdered products marketed as hydration multipliers to help. While experts say buying hydration multipliers aren't entirely necessary, they can be useful in certain circumstances — but there are things to be aware of. "Plain water is still the gold standard for hydration, so don't skip it," Dr. Shannon Dowler, family physician and board of directors at the American Academy of Family Physicians, told CBS News. But, they can be a great tool if you're spending a lot of time outside or exercising heavily, she said. "If you're doing strenuous physical exercise for over an hour, rehydrating with electrolytes is a great idea, but be sure to drink water continuously. These supplements are supplements, not a replacement for water," Dowler said. Similar to sports drinks, hydration multipliers help by replenishing electrolytes to the body, which are lost when we sweat, said Dr. Scott Braunstein, chief medical officer at medicine concierge company Sollis Health. "When we sweat, we lose more than just fluids, we also lose electrolytes — mostly sodium and chloride, but also smaller amounts of potassium, calcium, and magnesium," he told CBS News. "While it all could all be replaced by drinking water and eating a variety of solid foods, for those not ready for a meal, drinking electrolyte containing fluids is a great way to replace the losses in sweat." Braunstein said there are variety of products available, including electrolyte infused water, well-known drinks like Gatorade and Powerade, Pedialyte and packets and tablets that can be added to water. Experts advise checking the label before giving them a try. In particular, be mindful of caffeine, sugar and sodium levels. "Some electrolyte products contain large amounts of sugar, which can be problematic for those with diabetes, obesity and other health conditions," Braunstein said. "Also keep in mind that some products contain caffeine, which acts as a diuretic and can actually make it more difficult to rehydrate effectively." It's also a good idea to check with your doctor before drinking these if you have any chronic diseases or take daily medications. "Those with certain chronic conditions, especially kidney disease — since your kidneys regulate your electrolytes — high or low blood pressure or heart disease, should consult their doctor before consuming these products, as maintaining fluids and electrolytes within a specific range may be critical for their health," he added.

Why I Finally Fell Out of Love With Attachment Theory
There was a time, in my mid-20s, when I became completely obsessed with why I was the way I was. I'd just been through a major break-up, and what followed was a period of intense and intentional soul-searching. I'd do my own tarot cards every night—yes, every night, even after the club. I got really into the Myers-Briggs test (I'm an 'INFJ'), as well as my astrological birth chart (Libra sun, Virgo moon, Libra rising) and favorite love languages (mine is 'words of affirmation'). I started seeing a psychotherapist weekly and I got heavily into the most accepted personality framework of all: attachment theory. Attachment theory—the idea that we develop attachment styles in our early years that then later inform our relationships—was first developed by psychoanalyst John Bowlby in the 1950s and 1960s. But the pop psychology version really gained freakishly widespread popularity after the 2010 release of Attached, a very digestible self-help book from Amir Levine and Rachel S. F. Heller that basically dives into the different attachment styles and how they might show up in romantic scenarios. You probably already know the attachment styles by now, but if not, they can be loosely separated into four main categories: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant. After discovering my own attachment style via a cursory online quiz (anxiously attached with shades of fearful avoidance—at the time, at least), I soon realized that attachment theory could in fact be the answer to all my questions. I felt anxious not because I had reason to, but because I was filtering my relationships through a scarcity mindset. I was being breadcrumbed by a situationship not because they were uninterested, but because they were a classic avoidant, afraid of too much intimacy and commitment. I was attracted to emotionally unavailable people not because they were objectively sexier, but because I felt comfortable in a place of yearning as opposed to security. It all clicked into place, like removing a clock face and unveiling the neatly designed cogs within. Soon, I started to view everything through the lens of attachment theory, internally categorizing every single person I came across into one of the four lanes. Someone took a week to respond to a message? Typical avoidant! Friend only interested in a guy after he pulled back after the third date? My anxiously attached bells are ringing! Date randomly ghosted after coming on incredibly strong? Do I sense a rare fearful avoidant? I even got weirdly obsessed with scrolling through anxious and avoidant subreddits late at night—r/anxiousattachment currently has 76K followers, while r/avoidantattachment has much less at 45K, a discrepancy that is so on-the-nose it's laughable. Couples in pop culture were also viewed afresh: we all know where Carrie and Big fit on the attachment style continuum.

Earnings Preview: What To Expect From Keurig Dr Pepper's Report
Massachusetts-based Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP) stands out as a beverage powerhouse in North America, commanding a diverse lineup of over 125 brands across soft drinks, coffee, tea, juice, water, and more. With a market cap of nearly $46 billion, the company holds leading positions in multiple drink categories and operates the top single-serve coffee system in the U.S. and Canada. Its unique partnership model continues to drive growth in emerging segments, such as energy drinks and premium coffee, with household names like Dr Pepper, Keurig, Canada Dry, Snapple, and Green Mountain Coffee anchoring its portfolio. The company is expected to release its fiscal 2025 second-quarter earnings report before the market opens on Thursday, July 24. UnitedHealth Stock Is One of the Worst-Performing S&P 500 Stocks in 2025. Should You Buy the Dip?

Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Ahead of this event, analysts project Keurig Dr Pepper to report a profit of $0.49 per share, up 8.9% from $0.45 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. Impressively, the company has either met or surpassed Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the past four quarters. Over the longer term, analysts forecast the beverage giant to report an EPS of $2.04 in fiscal 2025, representing a 6.3% increase from the $1.92 reported in fiscal 2024. The pace is anticipated to continue into fiscal 2026, with EPS projected to climb another 6.9% to $2.18. Shares of the beverage company are up roughly 3.3% over the past year, lagging behind the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) modest 13.4% return during the same stretch. Narrowing the focus, KDP is also trailing behind the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLP) 7.5% gain over the past year. KDP shares took a 2.1% hit on April 24 after the company unveiled its fiscal 2025 Q1 earnings report. Net sales rose 4.8% to $3.64 billion, topping Wall Street's forecast of $3.57 billion. Earnings came in strong too, with adjusted EPS jumping 10.5% year-over-year to $0.42, beating expectations by the same margin. However, the market reaction turned sour as cracks emerged beneath the surface. Net sales in the U.S. Coffee segment slipped 3.7%, while the international segment saw a steeper 6.3% drop, raising concerns about weakness in key parts of the business. Nevertheless, analysts' consensus view on KDP remains somewhat optimistic, with an overall "Moderate Buy" rating. Among 17 analysts covering the stock, 11 suggest a "Strong Buy," one recommends a "Moderate Buy,' and five give a 'Hold' rating. KDP's mean price target of $39.05 represents a 15.6% premium to current price levels.
