Measles, Memory, & Mouths

Happy Friday 👋 

What’s one thing you can do today that’s a little bit healthier than yesterday? Do that.

In today’s email we cover measles, memory, and mouths, stretches before (and in!) bed, and how emotions affect the practice of medicine.

We’ve written a few times recently about the science of senolytic compounds that kill aging cells while sparing healthy ones; today’s sponsor Qualia Senolytic has a potent senolytic supplement that only needs to be taken twice per month (think of it less as a constant maintenance, and more as a regular clean-up). Check it out; you’ll be glad you did!

The 4 Best Stretches To Do Before Bed (And Even: To Do In Bed!)

Contrary to the stereotype of early morning yoga sessions, the evening is actually the best time to improve flexibility.

Not only that, but there are benefits to stretching on a soft surface, such as your bed, rather than the floor—in few words, it reduces the nervous feedback that limits your flexibility.

_{Contrary to the thumbnail, the stretch shown is not one of the four stretches! Yoga teacher Liv Townsend’s thumbnails aren’t usually misleading, so we suspect she accidentally uploaded the wrong video thumbnail for YouTube. Click to see what they actually are:}

One-Minute Book Review

What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine – by Dr. Danielle Ofri

This book discusses how feelings such as shame, fear, anger, empathy, and even love influence patient care. Dr. Ofri notes early on:

What then follows is very much a no-holds-barred account of the emotional side of medicine.

Not portraying doctors as heroes or martyrs, just as people. Indeed, she even talks about an early, abject failure of hers as a medical student, literally hiding from a patient who badly needed attention and to whom she had been assigned.

We learn not just about the mistakes of doctors, but also the mistakes of patients that lead to mistakes by doctors. For example, emphasizing the severity of your symptom(s) can sometimes be useful to ensure they get attention, but if your regular doctor has heard you rating every symptom always as a 10 every appointment for the past many years, then the end result is that they don’t have information to work from, and will—at best—become frustrated, which will not work out well for you.

Mostly, though, it’s about what goes on behind that calm collected professional exterior that most doctors show most of the time.

The style is a fascinating blend of well-researched science (there’s an extensive bibliography) and very human tales of suffering, compassion, hope, loss, isolation, connection, and more.

Bottom line: if you want to understand your doctor(s), then you want to read this book.
