The Flavonoid Trick

Good morning 👋 

And a happy “Prime Day” to Amazon-enjoyers! We have a special bit on that later in today’s newsletter; you might want to take advantage of a deal we found!

In today’s email we cover the trick to getting the most out of flavonoids, health hacks that make life easier too, and beneficial brain connections.

Are you taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist? Like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro? If so, you’re doubtlessly eating less than previously, and while that’s great for weight loss, it can mean running low on actual nutrients and energy—perhaps you’re feeling the effects of that. Today’s sponsor Lifetime Transformations is sharing a GLP-1 Health Optimization Protocol to ensure you get all the nutrients you need, in the minimal food that you’re eating.

Today’s Main Feature

Remember When We Said…

It’s Amazon’s “Prime Day” today, which means big savings similar to Black Friday.

This prompted us to take a look back at our most popular articles this year, to see if any of the usually-more-expensive products we’ve recommended based on strong scientific evidence (you know us; we dig deep and examine the research) have been heavily discounted today, and…

Guess what we found 😎

You’re Eating Less. Now Every Bite Counts.

GLP-1 receptor agonists feel like a reset button: cravings vanish, appetite drops, and for the first time in years, you’re not constantly thinking about food.

But let’s be honest—what does a typical day look like now? Some oats in the morning. A little fruit at lunch. A much smaller dinner than you used to have in the evening.

Sure, you’re in a calorie deficit. You’re losing weight.

But you’re also lower on protein, fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins—the stuff that makes you feel human.

And when your body’s running on empty nutritionally, that’s when the fatigue creeps in. Libido drops. Mood dips. Muscle fades.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

The GLP1 Health Optimization Protocol is built for women like you. We combine science-backed nutrition, resistance training, and doctor-guided supplementation to help you:

✅ Burn fat without sacrificing muscle
✅ Stay energized and focused throughout your day
✅ Keep your hormones, metabolism—and yes, libido—in balance
✅ Feel strong, confident, and in control

👩‍⚕ Created in partnership with Dr. Dean St. Mart (Supplement Needs), this is your done-for-you path to thrive, not just shrink:

One-Minute Book Review

How the Brain Connects to Cognitive & Behavioral Change: Bridges to Better Treatment – by Dr. Robert Lavine

From the title, you could be forgiven for expecting this to be a dry book of neurology or perhaps psychology. However! While the author is indeed a neurologist and is usually ears-deep in academia, this work here is actually mostly about brain-hacking.

In other words, it pertains to improving one’s cognitive function by an assortment of means, ranging from nootropics (this book makes the case for supplementing with oxytocin), to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioural adjustments (thematically linked to the aforementioned CBT, but also quite distinct in application) and environmental factors (which this book does not consider in great depth, but does cover clearly).

The book is arranged around various problems as the topic headers, with discussion of what’s going wrong and why, and in each case at least one explanation of how it can be corrected.

Legal disclaimers abound throughout, and the book is not offering medical advice per se. However, for those interested—for academic or practical reasons—the pointers are there to get the reader heading in the right direction.

The style, therefore, is accessible and relatively jargon-free, and is content to seem what it really is: a book written by an academic, but for a lay audience.

Bottom line: if you’d like to better understand your brain with an emphasis on the practicalities and how to make it work better, this book can help with that.
