Good morning. It’s October 23rd and National Lead Poisoning Prevention week marches on.

Wait, what?! National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week!?! Well it’s a thing, and good timing after the bombshell heavy metal protein report we covered last week.

CEOs all over America are getting ready to brand their products as “lead-free” for 2026. You heard it here first.

The rundown for this week:

Remember when Hims & Hers made their name selling little blue miracles for men who couldn’t, well, rise to the occasion? After cornering the bedroom market, they’re now setting their sights on a new frontier — menopause.

The company’s new offerings include hormone treatments, telehealth visits, and at-home testing designed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

If they can make conversations about ED go mainstream, maybe they can do the same for hot flashes and night sweats.

Here’s a question: when did your own health data start charging you rent?

Wearables are cool until they start acting like landlords. They’ll track your sleep, recovery, and HRV… and then lock it behind a monthly paywall!

Pulse changes that. It’s a subscription-free wearable that’s equal parts elegant and practical for those starting their health journey.

It’s light enough to forget you’re wearing it, the battery lasts a full week, and the app delivers insights to keep you laser-focused on what matters: sleep, recovery, HRV, and activity. No dopamine-drip notifications, no wellness platitudes.

If you’re tired of paying rent on your own data, Pulse is your way out.

Remember when 10,000 steps a day was the gospel?

Wait…flashback to earlier this year and it was 7,000 steps.

The latest study out of Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that as few as 4,000 steps a day can slash your risk of early death by up to 40%. Even if you only hit that target once or twice a week.

The researchers tracked over 13,000 women aged 62+ and found that the modest steppers still got massive benefits. Those walking at least 4,000 steps one or two days a week saw a 26% drop in death risk and 27% lower heart disease risk over ten years.

In short: don’t overthink your “movement protocol.”

Take a walk. Go grab a coffee.

Chase your kid. Or your neighbor’s dog. Just get some steps in.

Easy peasy!

👉🏾 Go deeper into the clinical trial and results

No personal trainer needed, you can do this little trick at home all by yourself.

10 minutes in the morning to stimulate circulation and lymph flow, or add it to your post-workout to calm the nervous sytem and re-set your body.
