Issue #38   I  March 31st, 2025 Photography by Shawn Chavez           Welcome back to The Mindset by Super Age. This week is all about rhythm. Whether it’s aligning your meals and movement with your body’s internal clock, tuning into a midlife brain shift, or finding happiness in uncertain times—we’re exploring how timing shapes our resilience, performance, and long-term health. Let’s get into it.       Lindsey Vonn at 40: The Comeback That Redefines What's Possible David, here! Founder of Super Age. At 66, I’ve never felt stronger. That might sound surprising, but not if you saw what Lindsey Vonn did last weekend. Six years out of retirement, 40 years old, with a partially artificial knee, she stood on the podium at the World Cup—silver medal in hand, tears in her eyes. The world doubted her. She didn’t. And what she proved wasn’t just about skiing. It was about what’s still possible—at 40, at 66, and well beyond—when belief outpaces expectation. I wrote this piece because it matters to me personally. I hope it does to you, too. 👉 Here are 3 lessons we can all learn from Lindsey’s comeback.     Your Metabolism Has a Clock—And It Matters Most bodies don’t process food the same way at 8 a.m. as they do at 8 p.m.—and understanding your own rhythm can make a big difference in energy, metabolism, and mood. A wave of research shows that eating in sync with your circadian rhythm can improve glucose control, reduce inflammation, and increase energy—especially after 45. We dig into the best timing strategies for meals and workouts, what changes in menopause, and why personalized rhythm is the new personalized nutrition. 👉 Here’s when to eat to synch your nutrition with your metabolic clock.     Your Brain Might Have a “Critical Window” for Longevity We talk a lot about fueling the body for longevity, but what about the brain? New research reveals that midlife may be a critical turning point for your cognitive future, especially when it comes to how your brain processes energy. In a recent study published in PNAS, neuroscientists identified a surprising midlife turning point. Between the ages 40 and 60, the brain undergoes a nonlinear shift in how it uses energy. The researchers call it a “critical window” for intervention—when glucose metabolism starts to slip, but brain function can still be protected or even improved. We explain what’s happening, what it means, and why now—not later—might be the best time to care for your future mind. 👉 Read about lifestyle shifts that protect your brain at any age.     What the World Happiness Report Gets Right About Longevity Every year, the World Happiness Report tells us what the happiest nations in the world are doing differently—and this year’s insights are especially Super Age: Benevolence and trust matter more than perfection. Shared meals, community connection, and believing the best in others are powerful longevity tools. Finland tops the list again, while the U.S. dropped out of the top 20 for the first time. The good news? There’s a lot we can do to boost our own happiness from the inside out. 👉 Here’s what we can learn from the world’s happiest people.       This Quiz Can Predict How Long You'll Live Ready to take control of your health?
