August 25, 2026 PRESENTED BY Stop overpaying for GLP-1s Good morning! I’m not yet 40, but have recently begun wondering if bone health should be on my radar. What I’ve heard from many experts is yes, it matters at every age! So today’s study gets me motivated to drink more tea. Plus I’ve got all the no-fuss meal ideas you need for back-to-school season. Read through and then be sure to share this newsletter with the tea-lover in your life. —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor Your bones want you to drink more tea Move over milk, there’s a new bone-supporting beverage in town. Researchers of a new study followed more than 2,000 adults for up to 13 years to investigate whether tea consumption was associated with changes in bone health:¹ Tea consumption was categorized into four groups: non-, low-, moderate-, or high-frequency. Researchers assessed bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content at the whole body, total hip, lumbar spine, and femoral neck. They found that people who reported drinking tea at a moderate frequency generally had the most favorable BMD measures, including whole body, lumbar spine, and femoral neck. Tea is a great source of a class of polyphenols called flavan-3-ols.Two types of these, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate, were generally associated with more favorable bone mineral measures. Flavan-3-ols have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and early research suggests they may impact the activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build new bone) and osteoclasts (the cells that break bone down). You can learn more about it here. +Tea time Try this tea for better sleep & glowing skin Sip your way to a healthy heart with this Verdict is in: Green tea great for brain health PRESENTED BY GLP-1s now only cost $59 a month The ingredients in compounded GLP-1s cost as little as $5 to produce, yet people are paying $500+ a month.

Here’s how to prevent burnout Science journalist Elizabeth Svoboda spent years reporting on pacing and burnout for her book, The Art of Pacing. One of her greatest takeaways is that our perception of effort is often separated into two camps, and she says neither one is healthy. One says go 110%, lean in as hard as you possibly can, the other says quiet quit, or “lie flat.” In our recent episode of the mindbodygreen podcast, she and Jason dig into how to align your hardest work with your body's energy peaks, how to pace yourself, and balancing effort and recovery. +Avoid burnout Physical signs of burnout to keep an eye on Gold star culture & unsustainable achievement Women should look into this if they feel exhausted all the time How a mental health expert approaches burnout No-fuss meals Image by Nadine Greef / Stocksy The anti-meal plan approach that makes healthy eating easier 5 high-protein breakfasts that involve zero eggs How a cookbook author & mom makes weeknight meals stress-free Try the Mediterranean diet with this one-day meal plan How to make blood-sugar friendly rice Get GLP-1s at the lowest price anywhere Collective offers GLP-1s for $59 a month.

August 23, 2026 PRESENTED BY Clinically validated NO support Good morning! If you’ve been wanting to give your liver some extra love, look no further than the humble tomato (or even a great jar of pasta sauce). More on that below, plus, I’ve got everything you need to make eating high-protein snacks and meals a stress-free part of your week. —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor Don’t forget to share this newsletter with that friend who grew way too many tomatoes! The best food for your liver? Natural liver support is hiding in your favorite go-to summer produce. A new randomized controlled trial was done on people with metabolic liver disease who ate tomatoes (fresh tomatoes and also tomato sauce):¹ They found a significantly greater reduction in liver fat in those eating tomatoes (it dropped by about half!), compared to those following a tomato-free diet. Why tomatoes? They’re rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which has anti-inflammatory properties, plus they're also typically consumed alongside olive oil, legumes, whole grains, fish, and other nutrient-dense foods that offer compounded benefits. Tomatoes also contain beta-carotene, polyphenols, and other plant compounds that may help protect cells from oxidative stress and support a healthier inflammatory response. Pro-tip: Cooking tomatoes can make their lycopene easier for the body to absorb. Since lycopene is fat-soluble, eating tomatoes with some olive oil or another source of fat may help with absorption. Read more about why tomatoes are a superfood for your liver and metabolism. +Love your liver What a fatty liver can do to your heart Your eating rhythms can impact liver health, here’s how Our editor’s 7 favorite liver supplements These 2 habits reduced liver disease by a third PRESENTED BY It’s not just your hormones… Hot flashes, brain fog, that 3 p.m. crash... most women are told it's just hormones, just menopause. But there's a piece of the puzzle that rarely gets tested: Nitric Oxide (NO), the molecule controlling blood flow to your brain, skin, and heart. As estrogen declines through perimenopause, so does your body's natural NO production, and with it, the circulation behind nearly everything on that list. Berkeley Life's Test Strips show you your own baseline in 10 seconds, the same method used in clinical research. And Nitric Oxide Support, validated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, helps restore it. It's a 10-second habit that tells you more about what's changing than any symptom checklist can.

But when we hide from those situations, our brains hold on to the message.² Research on avoiding anxiety suggests that when anxiety drops after you avoid something, your brain can take that as a sign that avoiding it worked. The next time a similar situation comes up, you're more likely to avoid it again. You’re not actually overcoming the root of the anxiety. Instead, researchers suggest leaning in. Methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and addressing avoidance directly can all make a positive impact. Read more on why avoiding your anxiety may only make things worse.

Eat like this for a better brain & calmer outlook

August 20, 2026 Morning! We’re well past the old POV that brain decline is inevitable, though we’re still always certainly learning more about what that really means. New research reveals that eating a diverse diet may play a significant role—more on that below. Plus, I’m sharing all the resources you need to start strength training or level-up your routine, no matter your current level of fitness. Read through and then be sure to share this newsletter with a friend who is focused on their diet & fitness goals. —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor Eat like this for a better brain & calmer outlook New research found a certain way of eating may be one piece of the puzzle to great cognition at any age, with mood benefits as an added bonus:¹ Researchers assessed four different dietary patterns in 3,181 adults. Mono-diet: A relatively limited variety of foods Vegetarian diet: A pattern centered primarily around plant foods High-protein diet: Greater emphasis on protein-rich foods Diversified diet: A broader variety of foods Results showed that those who ate a diversified diet had the lowest levels of anxiety and the highest levels of cognitive function compared with the other dietary groups.

Slow-twitch fibers are the marathoners: packed with mitochondria, built for endurance, and they'll keep firing for a long time without tiring. Fast-twitch fibers are the sprinters, generating power quickly but burning out faster.² At the microscopic level, movement itself comes down to two proteins, actin and myosin, sliding past each other like interlocking fingers pulling closer together; that's literally what a muscle contraction is. Most muscles are a mix of both fiber types, and the ratio is partly genetic, which is part of why some people are built for distance running and others for explosive power. +Get to your know muscles Why strength training fails without enough protein Muscle supports these 3 pillars of longevity What do sleep & muscle quality have in common?
