100,000 People, 30 Years, One Clear Winner vs Aging

Good afternoon 👋 

If ever you feel like meditation would give you benefits if only you could make the time for it, please remember: you have to breathe anyway. So, you might as well make it count, even if it’s just a single mindful meditative breath once in a while :)

In today’s email we cover anti-aging diets, l-theanine, and keeping your teeth safe from your dentist.

We recently reviewed a book about the importance of data-driven health, and fortuitously, today’s sponsor TruDiagnostic is offering just that: its groundbreaking TrueAge & TruHealth plan includes at-home blood test that gives a wealth of data including 185 key biomarkers, as well as 900,000 epigenetic sites, before crunching the numbers to give you personalized health recommendations.

One-Minute Book Review

Chew On This... But Don't Swallow − by Dr. Blanche Grube & Anita Vasquez-Tibau

Dr. Blanche Grube is a dentist with over 40 years of experience, and Anita Vasquez-Tibau is a well-respected research scientist with many peer-reviewed publications to her name, and both have lectured extensively.

So, what do they want us to know?

It’s mostly about the iatrogenic (i.e., caused by treatment) harm done by many common conventional dental practices (including dental mercury amalgams, metal crowns, root canals, implants, and even braces), and how we can avoid such, and enjoy better treatment instead.

After an introductory overview of the basics (and also where her own work came from in the first place, namely, her own root canals that were established as largely responsible for her leukemia), the largest part of the book is practical advice, laid out practically. What things come with what risks, what things get advertised differently than they really are, and which way to go in the case of unenviable situations where one must choose the “least bad” option out of a bunch of bad options.

Lastly, she discusses a range of solutions that can help side-step most problems, provided one implements them early. The good news is, they are “do these small things every day” recommendations, not “get this prophylactic surgical treatment” options. And yes, they are beyond the obvious of good dental hygiene, though she does cover that too.

The style is in part narrative, in part explanatory, and/but very readable throughout.

Bottom line: if you love having teeth and/but don’t love going to the dentist, this book will help you take good care of yourself, and also mean you can safely and informedly advocate for yourself if you do find yourself in the dentist’s office.
