 Issue #62 I June 23, 2025  Photography by Maksgelatin and Chris Nguyen   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. This week, we’re leading with your heart. From smart cardio training and blood sugar mastery to the science of touch and how to support cardio-protective sleep, every story in this issue is a step toward resilience, energy, and emotional strength. You’ll also get five sleep-friendly nutrients to improve your rest, a clear explainer on what really impacts your glucose levels, and a practice that rewires your brain for optimism. Plus, we’ve got a crisp, satisfying summer salad recipe, and one of our favorite reads on how social connection shapes your health.   4 Power Moves for Your Heart Yes, your heart health is influenced by how much you exercise and your cholesterol levels, but it’s also affected by how you live, love, and connect. Today, we go beyond the basics to explore four science-backed strategies that foster holistic cardiovascular resilience. From smart HIIT to a plant-based diet that lowers heart disease risk by 14%, from the power of affectionate touch to the longevity benefits of loving-kindness meditation, this is a whole health roadmap for strengthening your heart physically and emotionally.   Add These Sleep-Friendly Nutrients to Your Dinner Plate What we eat directly influences how well we sleep, from how fast we fall asleep to how long we stay in deep, restorative sleep. Certain nutrients act as natural sleep aids, while others disrupt your body's circadian rhythms or blood sugar balance. The good news? A few strategic shifts can help your body rest better, night after night.  Sponsor Spotlight: Fatty15  Repair and Protect Your Cellular Health The secret to aging well? Healthy, resilient cells. But as we get older, our cells lose structure, weaken, and break down, draining energy, disrupting sleep, and accelerating aging from the inside out. Fatty15 is the first and only supplement made with pure C15:0, a newly discovered essential fatty acid found in long-lived dolphins that’s clinically shown to repair and protect your cells. It strengthens cell membranes, lowers inflammation, and activates your body’s natural repair pathways for improved sleep, energy, and metabolic health. Over 100 peer-reviewed studies (and 72% of users) report real results in just 16 weeks. Fatty15 doesn’t mask aging. It addresses it at the cellular level.

What Really Impacts Your Blood Glucose (and How to Improve It) Most people associate glucose spikes with obvious dietary culprits: refined sugar, white bread, and ultra-processed snacks. And it’s true: what you eat, how much you eat, and when you eat are major players in glucose regulation. But those aren’t the only influences on your blood sugar. Glucose levels are shaped by a complex web of internal and external inputs, from hormones to hydration, stress to sleep. This in-depth explainer reveals whether you should try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to track your glucose levels, six surprising habits that influence your glucose levels, and seven simple habits that can help you stabilize glucose sensitivity, increase energy, and support healthy aging.   How To Rewire Your Brain for Optimism People with a more optimistic outlook don’t just feel better; They live longer, bounce back faster, and age more vibrantly. Research shows that optimistic people tend to take better care of their health, manage stress more effectively, and stay more socially connected, all of which contribute to a longer, healthier life. The best part? Optimism is trainable. This Quiz Can Predict How Ready to take control of your health? About 80% of longevity comes down to daily choices.
