We hope all our readers are safe and not adversely affected by the tsunami this morning, which in most places has done a lot less damage than initially predicted.

In today’s email we cover the link between PTSD, GABA, & MAOIs, two yoga risks that over-50s should be aware of, and how to get fitter, calmer, & stronger.

Do you ever feel like you could benefit from a little boost to get through the harder parts of the day? This writer sure does, sometimes!
We’ve written before about how we at 10almonds have already research-reviewed 4 out of 6 of the active ingredients in our sponsor ZenAdren’s nootropic and adrenal support formula, but what about the other two active ingredients?
The other two are also excellent for the body and brain: eleuthero root and Chinese skullcap, which both work synergistically alongside the first four—and how they do it might surprise you; you can learn about the science of it here ← there’s a very good explanation on this page

Well, almost nobody! Will Harlow, the over-50s specialist physio, has two warnings:

Prefer text? The above video will take you to a 10almonds page with a text overview, as well as the video!

But… Are you really the sort of person who likes to settle for “normal”?

Or would you rather be at the top of every “good health” distribution curve?

To do that, to be that, means going the extra mile sometimes, doing some things that other people don’t do, and enjoying the benefits that most people don’t even know are on offer.

Your new secret weapon: ZenAdren’s nootropic and adrenal support formula.

Basically, it’s a boost for your brain, your adrenal glands, and the rest of your body. That latter sounds like a catch-all, and it kind of is, but also, several of these ingredients work on every cell in the body.

For example:

Do you remember “the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” from high school? Well, how many of those do you have in your body? Lots. The answer is lots. Now, if they all work even just a little bit better? More energy for you to use.

But cellular metabolism is just one thing, and ZenAdren works in many different, synergistic ways, with 6 well-studied ingredients with a wealth of scientific literature behind each of them, to bring you a fully-balanced response to any stresses in your life.

In short: it’s life in a slightly easier mode, with a little more spring in your step.

What would your life be like, if the hardest parts of your days were just a little easier?

Likely written in response to the popularity of “Thinner, Leaner, Stronger”, this book has different goals: being fitter, calmer, and stronger.

Which, at the end of the day, must surely be an improvement. While society certainly wants us (women in general, and at least some men) to be thinner and leaner, it’s not always what’s best for us, whereas fitter and calmer? It’s hard to go wrong with that.

Much of the book is given over to detailing the processes involved in menopause, and the ways in which changes can be managed with diet, exercise, and other lifestyle interventions. For example, the author herself quit alcohol partially because she knew it was sabotaging her hormone metabolism (amongst many other things, of course). She also recommends HRT and discusses it in depth, but notes that there are some exceptions, details those too, and leaves us to make our own decisions in consultation with our own medical providers.

The “30 days” in the subtitle refers to an exercise plan and meal plan, and yes, the latter includes recipes. The recipes themselves are a little on the basic side for this reviewer’s taste, but then, perhaps that leaves room for personalization, so it is not so bad.

You’ll notice that we haven’t talked a lot about “calmer”, the reason is that neither does she; it’s mostly a recurrent theme presented as a result of following the other advices, and thus getting to better health in a stress-free fashion. She does discuss recovery and sleep, though.

The style is light pop-science, as one might expect from someone who is a personal trainer by career, not a research scientist or medical doctor. The author is British, so you will see spellings such as “oestrogen”, but we’ll trust this is not an insurmountable barrier to understanding.

Bottom line: if you are navigating menopause and want to stay healthy (or maybe even level up your health and fitness), this book can help with that.
