Good morning 👋
Fun fact: one of the reasons high intensity interval training (HIIT) works so well is that its stop-start nature confuses the body’s ability to optimize metabolic responses while exercising. Since it can’t ration its energy like it would in steady exercise, it is having to constantly adjust, which keeps the calorie burn rate higher.
Think of it like stopping and starting your car’s engine repeatedly—it uses a lot more gas than just idling.

Today’s sponsor, Timeline, has a mitochondria-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!

Our Sponsors Make This Publication Possible
Are you too young to think about how you’re aging? Probably not.
Starting in our 30s, some key cellular processes begin to slow down, making us feel tired and weak over time. This decline affects not just our physical strength and endurance, but significantly reduces our quality of life making everyday activities harder to enjoy. Luckily, scientists have discovered a way to shape how we age.
Mitopure®, by Timeline, targets the root cause of this cellular decline and is clinically proven to increase cellular energy, giving our bodies the energy they need to function optimally.
The results? Double-digit increases in muscle strength and endurance without any change in exercise.
