Good morning 👋
And, goodbye, August! Tomorrow, it will be Monday, September the 1st.
What are your healthy plans for this fall, and are you ready to leverage the “fresh start effect”?
If so, here’s how to get a head start: How To Really Pick Up (And Keep!) Those Healthy Habits
In today’s email we cover beta-blockers, heart attacks, and women, doctor’s appointment tricks, and hip pain identification (and remedies).
Are your muscles feeling weaker than they used to? It’s not just about muscle mass, but also about cellular energy function, without which your muscles can’t do much. Today’s sponsor, Timeline, has a cellular energy-boosting supplement that we wrote about previously as part of Dr. Greger’s Anti-Aging Eight, which is a list of incredibly well-evidenced longevity-inducing things we can take (if you’re looking for it in the list, it’s urolithin A, which you can see in our sponsor’s store, here) ← 30% off for 10almonds readers with code 30NEWSLETTER, by the way!
Today’s Main Feature
Beta-Blockers: Useless vs Heart Attacks & Worse For Women?

How To Make Your Doctor’s Appointment Do More For You
In principle, the doctor should be able to ask the right questions, determine the problem, and not need too much from you.
After all, they have been trained to deal with an unconscious patient, so the fact you can communicate at all is a bonus.
However, leaving it all to them isn’t really playing the field.

Science Links Mitochondria & Muscle Strength
As our muscles age, they naturally lose mass, strength, and function—a result of certain muscle fibers shrinking—contributing to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s.
Recent research highlights that the key player in this aging process is our mitochondria*, tiny-but-mighty organelles that produce more than 90% of our body’s energy. Importantly, scientists have found a strong link between decreased mitochondrial health and muscle health decline with aging, emphasizing the importance of maintaining these cellular engines.
A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength and endurance, without any change in exercise required.
