--Health Product I’m Testing:
You may have one yourself or heard about it- the oura ring. I’ve had one for a while, but recently found it useful for the following reasons: I used it to become a more efficient sleeper (you can’t improve what you don’t measure).

--Health insight:
In case you don’t already know: It’s during your deep sleep cycles that you clear out the toxic proteins in your brain. So make sure to get quality deep sleep.
--Noteworthy Health News:
The lead star for the movie Thor, Chris Hemsworth, discovered not too long ago he has a high risk of Alzheimer’s. Why does that matter? It raises awareness about genetic testing and the disease overall.
