A single dinner out can contain an entire day’s worth of sodium. But that doesn’t mean you should skip your favorite restaurant. Sodium is an essential mineral, but consistently high intake can lead to both short- and long-term health effects. Common signs of excess include bloating, headaches, fatigue, increased thirst, and elevated blood pressure. If you’re noticing these symptoms, it may be a sign your body needs some extra support. Staying hydrated, cutting back on ultra-processed foods, and cooking more meals at home are simple, effective ways to reduce excess sodium. And next time you do have a high-sodium meal or snack, incorporating potassium-rich foods like bananas, avocados, and leafy greens can support blood pressure regulation and help restore balance.

Grip strength is increasingly recognized as a clinically meaningful biomarker of aging. Research has linked low grip strength to higher risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, reduced mobility, and even all-cause mortality. The encouraging news: grip strength is something you can actively improve. One simple way to test your grip strength at home is with a tennis ball. Squeeze it for as long as you can. At first, aim for 15 to 30 seconds, and track your progress over time. While targeted exercises like wrist curls or grip squeezes can help, broader strategies that build muscle mass and support bone density (like lifting weights) are equally important. Developing stronger grip strength and healthier aging can look like weight-bearing movement, meeting daily protein goals, and adding supplements like creatine to your routine. It can also look like prioritizing quality sleep and allowing for recovery. It all makes a difference.

Sleep has a tremendous impact on our cognitive function. But improving sleep is not as simple as just getting MORE. Sleeping less than 6 hours per night and sleeping more than 9 hours per night are both linked to impaired cognitive ability, according to a study in JAMA Neurology. Not enough sleep was specifically associated with impacting memory, while too much sleep was associated with impacting decision-making. One way to help you get the optimal amount of sleep is improving sleep hygiene: 🛌 Keep a consistent sleep/wake schedule 📲 Limit screen time at least an hour before bed ☕ Avoid caffeine later in the day ☀️ Get sunshine in the morning to support your circadian rhythm What is the most essential part of your sleep routine? 💤

Adaptogens are everywhere these days. Coffee, gummies, granola, nutrition bars, even some non-alcoholic sips. But are they really worth the hype? We think yes! Adaptogens are herbs, plants, and mushrooms that help improve our response to stress, anxiety, fatigue and have been used for thousands of years to help the body stay balanced and resilient. That’s why our providers recommend them as a natural way to support energy levels and stamina. They especially love ginseng, holy basil, maca, ashwagandha, rhodiola, schisandra, cordyceps, and shilajit. If you’re trying them for the first time, keep in mind that not all adaptogens have the same effect for every person, and their effectiveness can depend on dose, consistency, and context. It’s important to choose high-quality, evidence-backed supplements and understand how they fit into your overall health and routine. Learn more about the benefits and uses of adaptogens at the link in our bio.
