Happy Friday! Here's a peek at what made this week's LIST... ☀️ Fiber goals, a key estradiol number, the vaccine that may protect your brain, the one exercise trainers swear by, a new pill that slashes cholesterol, empty nest wisdom, + 6 longevity tests...Quick HitsWhat was tops in our feeds this week… 😊🥲🤣😍🌾 Are you hitting your fiber goals?Move over, protein – fiber wants some attention too. The average woman only gets about 15 grams a day when she should get 25 or more. It's worth caring about: fiber supports digestion, helps stabilize blood sugar, and can even lower cholesterol. Two tablespoons of chia seeds pack 8 grams on their own, a cup of raspberries matches it, and even a half-cup of black beans in your tacos adds 6. Stack a few of these 11 foods, and you'll be fiber-flexing in no time. Read the list on TODAY.com.[3 Minutes]💊 A new pill just made cholesterol control way easier.The FDA just approved Lipfendra, a daily pill that can knock LDL cholesterol down to 50 or 60 (or lower) – well beyond what statins alone typically achieve. It works by blocking a protein called PCSK9, the same mechanism used in injectable drugs that already exist, except those cost $500 to $600+ a month and only 1% of eligible patients actually use them. It's primarily designed for... _____________________________________Continue reading the full newsletter onMIDDLELIST.COM or SUBSTACK by @mymiddlelist

One familiar favorite topped the list for its anthocyanin content (the compound linked to lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline), but a few underdogs – think goji and goldenberries – snuck into the top tier too. Read the full ranking in Food & Wine. [2 Minutes]💪 The 30-minute workout that hits every body part.Trainer Caroline of Caroline's Circuits shares her go-to dumbbell routine – 10 exercises, 10 reps, 3 sets, hitting every muscle group in half an hour flat.

Happy Friday! A peek at what made this week's list...☀️ Coffee and your LDL, 5 steps to living longer, the truth about cortisol, your brain on exercise, 3 unique bucket list spots, a 20-minute leg circuit + how to tie a silk scarf.Quick HitsWhat was tops in our feeds this week… 😊🥲🤣😍☕ Your coffee maker might be raising your cholesterol.If you're a French press, espresso, or Turkish coffee devotee, listen up. Coffee contains a compound called cafestol that blocks your liver's ability to clear LDL, but a paper filter traps most of it. A recent study found that switching three daily cups from unfiltered to filtered coffee cut LDL by about 20 points. Watch the clip on Instagram.[2 Minutes]😮‍💨 Worried about your cortisol level? Don't.Social media seems to blame cortisol for everything from belly fat to burnout these days, warning that tough workouts spike it dangerously. But endocrinologists say cortisol's rise during a hard workout just means your body is doing its job, and...______________________________________________________________Continue reading the full newsletter on MIDDLELIST.COM or SUBSTACK.🔗 Links in Bio. by @mymiddlelist

QUICK HITSWhat was tops in our feeds this week… 😊🥲🤣😍❤️ New heart health guidelines prioritize plant protein.The American Heart Association just released new nutrition guidelines. The biggest shifts? Plant proteins are now officially prioritized over meat, the stance on alcohol got stricter (no safe amount, full stop), and ultra-processed foods are under even more scrutiny. A few things are still being debated — full-fat dairy among them. Read the article on Health.[4 Minutes]🧠 What’s actually behind the brain fog? Science weighs in.Cerebral glucose metabolism measurably dips during perimenopause — which is why word-retrieval fails, mid-sentence blanks, and walking-into-rooms-for-no-reason moments are real. It’s not just stress, not just aging, not just you. Dr. Mary Claire Haver breaks down the estrogen-brain connection, what the research says about dementia risk, and the steps you can… ______________________________________________________READ THE FULL ISSUE NOW AT→ MIDDLELIST.COM or→ MIDDLELIST.SUBSTACK.COM by @mymiddlelist

A growing body of research shows that a sense of purpose, optimism, and feeling valued by others can meaningfully extend your life — and even protect your brain. One Yale study found that women over 50 with the most positive outlook lived longer and were more likely to make it to 90. Read the article in The New York Times.*[4 Minutes]🍩 Why perimenopause makes you so hungry. And what to do about it.Suddenly ravenous for no good reason? Blame your hormones. As estrogen declines, it takes its appetite-suppressing powers with it — leaving you hungrier, craving sugar, and potentially gaining weight around the middle.

New guidelines from the American Heart Association now push the ideal systolic reading below 120 — and the brain is a big reason why. Research linking high blood pressure to dementia has shifted the conversation, and experts are now treating hypertension more aggressively than ever. What’s good for the heart is good for the brain. Read the article in The New York Times*.[5 Minutes]😴 Can’t turn off your brain at night? Try this.Getting to sleep and staying asleep can be a huge challenge (we feel you). If counting sheep isn’t cutting it, something called “cognitive shuffling” might be your new bedtime trick.
