Good morning 👋
❝Health is more than the absence of disease. It's a positive state of physical, mental, and social well-being❞
~ Dr. Joycelyn Elders
In today’s email we cover HRT & cancer, breakfast science, and getting rid of that last bit of excess tummy fat.
If (like this writer) you care a lot about your brain health and mental wellbeing, you’ll love today’s sponsor; ZenAdren combines 6 supplements, most of which we’ve done research reviews on previously at 10almonds (spoiler: they’re top-tier ones), not just to support your focus, memory, and cognition (which it does too), but also to give you a daily dose of calm alertness ← this writer’s favorite effect personally; see the main sponsor section for more about this 😎

Enhance Your Wellness, Naturally
Here at 10almonds, we’ve written before about various brain health nutraceuticals, including four out of six of ZenAdren’s active ingredients.
This writer’s personal favorite of those is l-theanine and it’s the most consistent everpresent in her daily supplement stack ← regular readers may remember when I detailed my own daily health stuff, here!
The truth is, we all deserve more days filled with presence, ease, and calm effectiveness. First Holistic Wellness created ZenAdren because real wellness isn’t about pushing through—it’s about making your life easier.
Developed under the professional-grade supplement line, OrthoFirst, ZenAdren combines adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and l-theanine to support you through life's ups and downs, with other nootropics like phosphatidylserine to help keep your brain in the best possible condition. About those terms, by the way:
Adaptogen = a substance that improves the body’s natural responses to stress, typically making the experience gentler (see: What Are Adaptogens, Really? A Practitioner Breaks It Down)
Nootropic = a cognitive enhancer, for example improving concentration, learning, and memory
As you’ll soon find out in the best of ways: when stress no longer sets the pace, your days really do become lighter, easier, and allow you to be your best self.
PS: the reviews are also good, from people who’ve been taking it. For example:
❝When I first read about this product I was a bit skeptical but I’ve been using it for about a week now and I have to say it’s great. I take 2 capsules every morning after breakfast and have noticed a big difference in my mood throughout the day. I have also noticed an increase in my energy as well. I would definitely recommend this.❞
