Simone Biles makes gymnastics, a sport known for its four-inch beam and gravity-defying tumbling, look easy.

Jordan Chiles wanted to quit gymnastics a few years ago.

Supplements are a an essential part of my daily wellness routine, but sometimes I wonder if they’re actually doing what they say they’ll do on the box.

“I’ll come to you,” she said before we hung up. After getting lost in St. Louis on the way to my friend’s house — a city that always causes me to feel uneasy anyway, thanks to past trauma — I was lucky enough to find a gas station where a friendly worker let me borrow
