I Didn’t Believe the Matcha Hype—Until This
What if one simple daily ritual could transform your skin, energy, and focus?
Pique’s Sun Goddess Matcha is more than just a delicious drink—it’s a superpowered blend of antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine that supports glowing skin, steady energy, and calm focus.
I was skeptical at first. I didn’t love the taste of matcha and wasn’t sure it would live up to the hype. But within weeks of switching to Sun Goddess Matcha, I noticed:
✅ Effortless digestion
✅ Jitter-free energy
✅ Brighter, clearer skin
Why it works:
🍵 30x the antioxidants of blueberries
🍵 Detoxifying chlorophyll + firming EGCG
🍵 L-theanine + caffeine for calm, focused energy
It’s my favorite way to start the day and it might become yours, too.

One-Minute Book Review
Strong Women Stay Young – by Dr. Miriam Nelson with Dr. Sarah Wernick
Dr. Nelson makes heavy reference to her own peer-reviewed study; this involved 40 postmenopausal women, for a year, the intervention group enjoyed a 15–20 year rejuvenation (by various physical markers, ranging from strength to bone density to mobility to metabolic benefits and more) while the control group simply got a year older.
So, what was the intervention? The program itself involves two at-home 30-minute exercise sessions per week, with only easy-to-get, inexpensive equipment (mainly: dumbbells), though in the book there are also suggestions for those who prefer to use a fully-furnished gym.
There is, by the way, also a short chapter near the end entitled “Men need strength training too!”; given the target audience of the book, this chapter is brief and to the point. The final chapter, on the other hand, is longer again and is a “questions and answers” section, for troubleshooting any common problems not covered in the main part of the book.
The style is light and accessible pop-science, a little salesy in feel but all it’s “selling” is the idea that you should indeed do this exercise program, so it can be considered motivational rather than unduly commercial. Aside from that, the rest of what we find here is direct practical advice.
Bottom line: if you’d like to be stronger and healthier, this is a strongly evidence-based way to do so!
