Good morning!
Today, we want to honor our veterans and their families—thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do! We’re so grateful to have you in our community. Read on for an inside look at one military family we recently got to know.
Plus, I’m sharing my favorite resources for a healthy head of hair and why one nutrient should get a special spot in your diet if you want strong, supple joints.

This basic health metric could save 500k+ lives
We hear about so many new health metrics and different forms of technology these days, that it can be easy to forget how much the basics still matter. The American Heart Association recently took a look at what forms of preventative care could make the biggest impact on public health, specifically looking at what would happen if 80% of people who needed these services received them.¹
The results will have you looking forward to your next physical:
- Blood pressure had the most significant impact with an estimated 518,000 cardiovascular deaths annually being prevented each year if people had readings below 140/90 mmHg.
- Expanding cholesterol treatment could prevent 341,000 deaths.
- Improving blood sugar management could prevent 310,000 deaths.
These are basic tests your doctor can help you get and interpret every year, no fancy at-home equipment required.
Do yourself a favor and make them a non-negotiable conversation with your doctor and approach health from a prevention standpoint versus treating symptoms once they start. Read more on these 3 simple life-saving health metrics.

A thank you to our veterans & their families

Today, we’re thinking about all sides of what it means to be a service member, from the people wearing the uniforms to the spouses and families supporting them every step of the way. Beth Murray is a great example—a mom, small-business owner, and military spouse who balances a hectic life while continuing to hone her own strength and lift up the people around her. Resilience comes in many forms, and Beth offered us a glimpse of what that can look like for military families.
See how she manages to do it all, right here.
While it’s impossible to fully honor our service members and their families in such a succinct format, we wanted to extend a small token of gratitude. We’ve partnered with GOVX to offer 20% off to all current and former military members and their families.
Thank you for using your strength to lift us all up. You can use the discount here, just verify your GOVX ID in checkout.

If you do one thing… eat this for healthy joints
Diet might be the last thing you think of when it comes to maintaining health joints, but a new study of 93k adults found the following:
- Those eating higher levels of polyunsaturated fats had lower levels of osteoarthritis diagnoses.
- Osteoarthritis happens from wear-and-tear of cartilage within joints, which creates a chronic, low-grade inflammation in the membrane lining the joint.
- Polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-3s found in fatty fish, help the body regulate inflammation.
We already know leaning into healthy fats supports brain and heart health; now we’re seeing it could be a key part of staying mobile and active with each passing year.
