Travel Sickness Relief Without Drugs?

Good morning 👋 

Do you floss? Does your floss have a non-stick "glide" surface? That might be some kind of perfluorohexane (often perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, an anionic fluorosurfactant and a persistent organic pollutant with bioaccumulative properties) which is not great to let into your bloodstream. You might want to consider other options!
For example: Flossing Without Flossing?

In today’s email we cover travel sickness relief without drugs, body transformation in 6 months (10 key things), and how to have a better second half of life.

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic are popular, but their side effects are famously not great.

Move Over, GLP-1 RAs. Here’s What Real Health Looks Like!

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic are popular, but their side effects are famously not great.

If you’re a regular 10almonds reader, you’ll surely also know that Ozempic and similar drugs work by mimicking a natural hormone your body already produces.

The good news is: when it comes to weight management by leveraging things we already have inside us, GLP-1 RAs aren’t the only way!

Bioma increases healthy levels of several things we as humans already contain:

• Bifidobacterium: breve, longum & lactis ← beneficial gut bacteria that help support metabolism and healthy weight regulation

• Xylooligosaccharides ← prebiotics that selectively promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria

• Tributyrin ← strengthens the gut barrier against leaky gut syndrome and reduces gut inflammation

So, try Bioma today and enjoy the health and weight loss benefits!

One-Minute Book Review

A Better Second Half: Dial Back Your Age to Live a Longer, Healthier, Happier Life – by Liz Earle

Here we have a book that’s aimed at women from midlife onwards. The author is not a doctor or scientist, but has been in the wellness industry in one form or another for pretty much her entire career (and she’s now in her 60s), so you can imagine she’s accumulated a lot of knowledge and experience.

As a result, what she delivers is a guide to aging female health that is comprehensive in its recommendations, while being quite light on the underlying science (which she herself may or may not understand—she neither shows scientific expertise nor scientific ignorance; she simply doesn’t discuss the science beyond the level of mentioning that it is there).

To this end, we get practical advice on supplements, HRT, nutrition, exercise, brain health specifically, sleep, stress-management, social considerations, and even “beauty bio-hacks”.

The style is polished, including in her self-presentation when discussing her own practices and life history. The book is written in British English, by the way, which means not only spellings such as “oestrogen” but also things like her mentioning when she was at her heaviest, post-pregnancy, she weighed 12 stone. This European reviewer had to look up what that is (apparently it’s 76 kg, or 168 lbs, for Americans).

Bottom line: the advice here is good, albeit by no means groundbreaking or deep. If you’re a regular 10almonds reader, you’ll doubtlessly know the main content already, though you’ll probably also pick up at least some new information, since she peppers a great miscellany of facts throughout her work. Which, given the very minimal referencing, may then require fact-checking by the reader, but either way, learning occurs. Which is what we’re all about!
