Seeing a lot of “longevity clinics” pop up.

What should you include in your discharge summary?

Think ESPN highlights.
Not the play-by-play.

The typical audience is busy outpatient providers. Help them out.

On my coffee table at home, I have a piece of driftwood. Its sole purpose is to display a quote by Anaïs Nin, which I see every day:

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”

It’s a short reminder that success can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations we are willing to have, and by the number of uncomfortable actions we are willing to take.

Relaxing is not the only way to recharge. Finding meaning is a source of fuel.

A restorative break doesn't just avoid tasks that burn you out. It adds people and projects that fire you up.

Detaching from stress prevents exhaustion. Attaching to purpose elevates energy.

What About A Score Between 1-99?

This next point is critical to understand.

When you transition from a 0 score to a Non-Zero score is very important.

If you have a CAC score of ‘only’ 10 but are a 40-year-old female

You are at the 97th percentile for your age and sex.

New Study Reveals Link Between Muscle Strength, Size, and Brain Power! 💪🧠

Are you lifting weights regularly? If not, you might want to start! A recent study published in Brain and Cognition shows that both muscle strength and size are linked to better brain function, independently of how fit your heart and lungs are.

Here's what the researchers found:
- Muscle Strength: Being stronger is linked to better working memory and faster brain processing during memory tasks.
- Muscle Size: Having more muscle mass is connected to quicker brain responses during tasks that require self-control.

So, hitting the gym isn't just good for your body; it's also great for your brain! Whether you're lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises, keeping your muscles strong and sizable could help keep your mind sharp.
