Meghan Trainor seeks medical attention after feeling 'overworked and stressed' as a mother of two
Meghan Trainor is feeling "overworked and stressed" as a mother of two.
The 31-year-old pop star - who is married to 'Spy Kids' actor Daryl Sabara and has Riley, four, and 22-month-old Barry with him - had to seek medical attention over a bout of recent illness and is set to undergo a multitude of tests but put it all down to the strain that comes with being a working parent.
Speaking on her 'Workin' On It' podcast, she said: "I saw two doctors today, I saw a doctor for health and wellness and stress so we're gonna start working together.
"I'm gonna do all those tests again - test my poop, test my breath, test my blood to see my how my hormones are doing.
"And then she's gonna help me with stress in general. She thinks my cortisol is shot, she knows it and it's gonna help me not get sick ever again because that's the goal.
"I'm overworked and I'm stressed. And I'm a mother-of-two!"
The 'All About That Bass' hitmaker has also been visiting a chiropractor in recent weeks and was initially "so scared" to have her neck cracked, but has now embraced the treatment and is trying to work on her health in general.
She added: "The combo last week, finally got me. Got me down. And then we saw a chiropractor, Dr. Heidi. And she was incredible.
"And I finally let her, for the first time after three sessions, crack my neck. I was so scared but it felt so good. I was like 'Oh, I get it'. There were so many cracks to be cracked, but it looked so scary.
"I saw one girl die [on TikTok] and I was lie 'I can't do it...' but now I'm like 'Break me!' So, I'm working on my health and trying to be the best that I can be."

Luke Bateman shared his love of books online. Then social media turned on him
Less than two months ago, in his first-ever TikTok video, Luke Bateman spoke to the camera from a truck in Toowoomba. The former NRL player, who also appeared on the 2023 season of The Bachelor, and who now works as a tree-logger, smiled and greeted the 'BookTok' community, saying that he's loved reading his entire life. 'I've never really had anywhere to talk about it or share those things,' he says, '... cause obviously being a male in a lot of blue-collar work'. Bateman said he hoped to speak to like-minded people about the stories he loves – fantasy, in particular – and find recommendations. For the unfamiliar, the BookTok community first boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when readers started to use TikTok to discuss their favourite books and authors. Colleen Hoover, for example, found herself on the New York Times bestseller list after her novel, It Ends With Us, gained traction via BookTok. To date, the BookTok hashtag has hundreds of billions of views and tens of millions of posts. It has also reshaped the publishing industry. Naturally, brands, publishers and authors have pivoted to focus on infiltrating the space as part of their marketing campaigns in the hope of going viral and seeing sales skyrocket. Bateman's first post quickly racked up 2 million views and within weeks, the former footy star had become a poster child for BookTok, amassing 150,000 followers and launching a book club with close to 6000 members. Loading Then in late May, Bateman posted something a little different. Trading in the front seat of his truck for a cosy room in front of a bookcase, he announced that he'd signed a two-book deal with Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Australia. 'It's a childhood dream come true,' he said. 'I've wanted to be an author my entire life.' He became emotional, thanking the community for giving him the opportunity 'to put my heart on the page for all of you'. But as is often the way with social media, it didn't take long for the tide to turn. 'This is literally enraging. Absolutely unbelievable.'

Try the Tiktok-famous tissue bread – and kiss your troubles goodbye – at this boutique bakery
I'm here to kiss my troubles goodbye, however briefly, by tackling the bakery's version of 'tissue bread', which is something of a TikTok sensation. Made by baking laminated croissant dough in a square baking tin, the crunchy edged fist-sized cube reveals gauzy layers of soft pastry when pulled apart. Buttered also loads its tissue bread with chocolate, matcha, pistachio and flavours, plus a particularly marvellous lemon meringue. The plain, pistachio and matcha varieties (I have many troubles to farewell) work surprisingly well dipped into Buttered's frothy Signature Velvet sweet corn drink. It's essentially a corn-flavoured latte, although there are other (much) sweeter flavours including butterscotch, royal chestnut and dalgona, or ppopgi, the traditional Korean honeycomb-flavoured treat made famous in the Netflix series Squid Game. The counter also holds perfect rows of the signature 'Salty Boi' − salt bread, aka sogeum-ppang. It looks like a cross between a croissant and a dinner roll, made by baking a finger-sized log of salted butter into a coil of cold-fermented dough. The added butter creates a crispy base below the roll's crunchy exterior and soft filling. Pocked with several air holes, the Salty Boi accommodates a lavish spree of sweet and savoury fillings. The most luscious filling is potato, egg and mayo, followed by butter-glistening garlic cheese. A corn cheese version is swoony and plump and has a lovely pop of sweetness against the bread's saltiness. (That saltiness comes from the salted butter, by the way, not from extra sodium in the dough.) One of the most popular lunch items is the ham, tomato, lettuce and wasabi-mayo Salty Boi. Thanks to the seasoned bread, it's a va-va-voom improvement on the average meat and salad roll.
