| September 19, 2024 | | | | | | PRESENTED BY | | | | | | Over the years, my definition of health has dramatically evolved. Throughout my 20s I didn't believe in rest and I didn't know how to feed my body. In my 30s, I was faced with a life-changing wake-up call. Now, halfway through my 40s, I'm all-in on strength. I want strong muscles, a strong mind, strong relationships, and strong habits. I've learned I can do all the things I want to do (and do them well) when I tap into my inner strength while cultivating more outer strength, and that the two feed each other. That's why I'm thrilled to share the launch of our first ever mindbodygreen digital issue called Strong Women, celebrating the many ways women are stepping into their own strength—from redefining women's health to pursuing science-backed fitness gains and celebrating the once-dreaded transition of menopause. Over the next month, we'll be sharing some of our editor's favorite new content with you on how women can, and should, embrace strength in all areas of life. I'd love to hear from you: What is the area of your health you feel strongest in, and why? The more details the better. — Colleen Wachob, co-Founder and co-CEO What to expect: - A global look at nutrient deficiencies & what you need to know
- How women can redefine their health, starting today
- An expert debunks several super common health myths
| | | | | Is everyone nutrient deficient? | | Age, gender, and nutrient intake.¹ | At the minimum, most of us who eat healthy, balanced diets hope to feel our best day-to-day and avoid chronic disease. While the intention is good and comes with myriad proven benefits for health and longevity, it appears most people throughout the world are still not getting enough of certain nutrients from food alone. Researchers assessed average intake of 15 micronutrients throughout 185 countries and found:¹ - 9 billion people aren't getting enough of key nutrients
- Women are more likely to lack iodine, vitamin B12, iron, and selenium
- Men are more likely to lack magnesium, zinc, vitamins B1, , B3, B6, C, and A
Studies on nutrition are difficult by default—there are just so many factors at play. That being said, it's helpful to know what we may be missing the mark on. Eating a variety of foods is one place to start, with a special focus on foods rich in the often-missed nutrients above. A multivitamin/mineral supplement is another great option, a sort of "insurance" to cover what your diet doesn't. +Nutrients for all | | | | | | PRESENTED BY | | | | The ultimate way to cover all your bases | | | Managing day-to-day stress is one of the most impactful ways to improve your longevity. In fact research shows that stress can influence your epigenetic aging, making your "life clock" tick faster.² The problem is that managing your body's stress response can be, well, stressful in itself. From keeping up with work demands or projects around the house, fitting in a stress-relieving practice is often the last thing on your to-do list. But Gaia Herbs Adrenal Health Daily Support makes it easy. And has the research to show for it. In fact, in a 60-day placebo-controlled clinical of the herbal formula trial found that:³ - 86% of the participants experienced improvements in how they approached stressful situations.*
- 53% experienced better sleep—and participants experienced less fatigue compared to the placebo group.*
- Participants felt a significant improvement in their emotional state, frame of mind, and feelings of occasional anxiousness.*
The herbal supplement can help you handle life's daily stressors*—so you can get back to that to-do list. | | | | | | | Women's health is getting a rebrand | | Image by Susana Ramírez / Stocksy | | | | | The best herbs for stress support* | | | Gaia Herbs Adrenal Health Daily Support is made with a blend of five adaptogens—rhodiola, holy basil, ashwagandha, schisandra, and oats—to help enhance your body's stress response.* Like all Gaia Herb products, it's made with the highest standards: it's vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and purity-tested. | | | | | | | | Debunking common health myths | | | Do foods rich in cholesterol really make our blood cholesterol higher? Why does everyone seem to have a peanut allergy these days? And what's the real story on hormone replacement therapy? To say there is confusion around health, diet, and medication in the US would be an understatement, and it can be hard to sort through the click-bait headlines to find some real facts. Mary Makary, M.D., was recently on the mindbbodygreen podcast to debunk many of the most prevalent myths in our healthcare system, revealing some major blindspots. He covers: - What really causes heart disease?
- What's the deal with seed oils?
- Why so many people have peanut allergies
- Fluoride & the microbiome
- The tragic rumors about hormone replacement therapy
- And so much more
